Best Buy Selects Consorte Media as Online Advertising Partner for Spanish-Language BestBuy.com

San Francisco, California (PRWEB) December 3, 2007 -- Consorte Media (http://www.consortemedia.com), the leading provider of online marketing (http://www.consortemedia.com/services.php) solutions targeting the Hispanic market, today announced that it is working with global electronics retailer Best Buy to promote its new Spanish-language website. Launched in November, BestBuy.com/espanol (http://www.bestbuy.com/espanol) is a Spanish-language version of the English BestBuy.com site and offers bilingual content on more than 12,000 products, including service plans and gift cards. The site is part of a multi-channel experience which makes it easier for Spanish-speaking customers to shop at Best Buy stores, online at BestBuy.com and via phone at 1-888-BEST-BUY.

Consorte Media is working with Best Buy to drive high-quality, targeted traffic to the bilingual Best Buy site by serving ads across its extensive advertising network (http://www.consortemedia.com/ad_network/signup.php) of Hispanic-focused publishers. Consorte Media leverages its unique blend of proprietary targeting and optimization technology, as well as a deep knowledge of the Hispanic culture and Spanish language, to deliver optimum traffic results to the site. The company also uses a research-driven methodology to help Best Buy test and optimize its campaigns, enabling the retailer to deliver the right messages to different sub-groups of the Hispanic market based on consumer preferences and behavior.

"Our new bilingual site represents an important step in the evolution of Best Buy's online marketing initiatives and forms an integral part of our wide-reaching program to more effectively connect with our Spanish-speaking customers. We originally turned to Consorte for a lead generation campaign earlier this year, since they are experts in targeting precisely the market we're looking to reach. Because of the success we saw in our initial program with Consorte, we were eager to extend the relationship to our e-commerce site. Advertising through the Consorte Media network has already resulted in steady increases in high-quality, targeted traffic to the site," said Jeff Weness, Director of Hispanic Initiatives at Best Buy.

"Brands like Best Buy are on the leading edge of reaching out to Hispanic consumers online, and the new bilingual site is a prime example of a retailer getting the Hispanic message right," said Alicia Morga, CEO of Consorte Media. "We look forward to continuing to work with Best Buy to promote the site and support its efforts to meet the needs of its Hispanic customers."
