BellSouth will also direct mail Spanish-language offers to an in-house database of 1.1 million Hispanic households. There will be two direct mail drops. These drops will “a couple of weeks after mass-media goes on air.”, Roig notes. Additionally, BellSouth will do a shared-mail campaign. Its offer will be included in ADVO's Shopwise wrap. ADVO will distribute Shopwise in neighborhoods with a high percentage of Hispanic population.

“These campaigns are the largest advertising initiatives BellSouth has made in the Hispanic market," said William Pate, vice president of advertising and public relations for BellSouth. "Through the campaigns, we illustrate our new high-speed Internet pricing structure — a simple, affordable Internet experience without the pricing gimmicks that are prevalent in many broadband offers today."
