  • UniVista Insurance

Miami-based insurance provider UniVista has opened three offices in California, with plans to open another three and hire dozens more licensed agents by year’s end. Additionally, its franchise program  is launching in 90 days on the west coast. In 2019, UniVista Insurance is projecting gross revenue of more than US$100 million by providing excellent insurance products to our Spanish-language customers on both the east and west coast of the U.S. Launched in 2009 under the leadership of Ivan Herrera, the company generated US$76 million in gross revenue in 2018, up from US$64 million in gross in 2017. Today, the company has 122 locations in Florida including more than 15 corporate offices, 107 franchises and three call centers. UniVista employs 1,114 men and women including 220 licensed agents. UniVista’s focus has been on a market niche that was largely ignored by insurance companies, made up of hardworking, Spanish-speaking immigrants in communities like Hialeah, who could pay for insurance if the policies were priced right, Herrera said. The company also spent time training employees, with agents taking classes every day on everything from UniVista culture to how to avoid customer fraud. Additionally, UniVista has brought on social media sensation Marco Perez, known as “Marko”, to be its ambassador to the Spanish-speaking community across the country.

  • Lehi Valley

Resultado de imagen para Delicias Gloria (Gloria’s Delights)Snack company Lehi Valley Trading Company noticed the company wasn’t making any snacks tailored to Mexican tastes, a growing consumer segment. Lehi is now launching Delicias Gloria (Gloria’s Delights), a new Hispanic-focused snack line that the company hopes will help them expand into new channels, broaden their consumer base and liven up the Hispanic snack market using bright, clean, authentic flavors and colors.After testing in key Hispanic markets (Arizona, Texas and California) Lehi decided to invest in building out the branding and infrastructure for Gloria’s. The new line includes capirotada, a mix of peanuts, raw almonds and sweet and tart fruits; piña picante, sweet and tart pineapple bits with picante chili lime seasoning; pica dulce de fresa, sour strawberry belts with picante chili lime seasoning; and mango picante, mango spears with picante chili lime seasoning. Each has an MSRP between $3.49-$9.99 and features authentic spices while maintaining a clean ingredient deck.According to research firm IRI, the Hispanic community is the fastest-growing ethnic group in the U.S. and spends over US$94.7 billion on consumer product goods yearly. According to consumer insights firm Claritas, the majority of food and CPG purchases is expected to come from Hispanic and Asian consumers between now and 2064, as Hispanics will represent 54% of population growth in the U.S., reaching 72 million by 2024. To tailor to this vast population, brands need to understand their specific tastes and cultural values to offer an authentic connection. Grocery stores are generally “not doing a great job” of working with the right distributors to cater to Hispanic tastes, according to Lehi Valley´s VP of marketing Christie Frazier-Coleman.
