Retailers invested heavily in Arizona Hispanic newspapers (including La Voz de Phoenix, Bajo el Sol, Prensa Hispana and La Estrella de Tucson) and led the ranking of National Advertisers during 2006, according to Portada Ad-Tracking.
As shown in the below chart, Food City was the company that had the largest advertising expenditure in Arizona’s Hispanic newspapers in 2006, followed by Fry’s, Bank of America, T-Mobile and Macy’s. The strength of retail companies is also reflected in the fact that retail was the largest category in national ROP advertising, according to Table 2, followed by financial and telecommunications.
