Product Wholesaler Reports Growing Popularity of Cinco de Mayo Linked to Phenomenal Expansion in Latino-themed Merchandise

DollarDays, a premier Internet-based product wholesaler to small businesses and local distributors, reported today that the growing popularity of the Cinco de Mayo holiday has led to an expansion in Latino-themed merchandise. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the nation’s Latino population stands at more than 38 million, making Hispanics the largest minority group in the country.

“As the United States’ Hispanic population continues to grow, small retailers are stocking up on products geared to that market,” said DollarDays’ Chief Operating Officer Marc Joseph. “Health and beauty products, herbal teas and medicines and greeting cards are among DollarDays’ top-selling Latino-themed merchandise. We are seeing our orders for Cinco de Mayo double year after year,” Joseph said. “It’s becoming like St. Patrick’s Day—you don’t have to be Latino to enjoy the celebration.”

Cinco de Mayo commemorates a Mexican Army victory over the French in 1862. But, in the United States, Cinco de Mayo celebrations often honor Hispanic culture.

  • 30% of small-business owners say they lose money on national holidays.
  • 20% say they close their businesses on all national holidays, while 76% don’t
  • 25% would be willing to assume the cost of closing their businesses for the day to commemorate the unprecedented terror attacks, but 71% are unwilling to lose money on another national holiday.

“Small-business owners are clearly unwilling to foot the bill for another national holiday,” said Marc Joseph, President of DollarDays. “While our survey is not scientific, it does point out the burdens faced by small-business owners in these tough economic times.”

“Many people dream about owning their own business, but the costs associated with opening a new company are a significant barrier for most people,” said Chris Baker, Chief Executive Officer of DollarDays. “Under our new Distributor Program, for less than $200, entrepreneurs and distributors can instantly begin running their own business by selling DollarDays’ products with absolutely no incremental investment. All it takes to be running your own business is $200.”
