This report provides an in-depth look into this lucrative ethnic group, and covers the following topics:
- A demographic overview of Asian Americans, including population growth, earning power, educational attainment, degree of acculturation, and place of residence
- Key issues and beliefs that influence Asian Americans, including the impact of prejudice and racism, the drive to succeed, the role of education, perceptions of beauty, and perceptions of self
- Purchasing attitudes towards a variety of products, including computers, MP3 players, camcorders, PDAs, green products, and groceries
- Popular leisure activities, including the Internet, travel, restaurants and bars
- Attitudes towards cause marketing and other marketing tactics
This extensive analysis provides marketers the information they need to understand what motivates the Asian-American consumer, along with suggested strategies and opportunities to increase sales.
