For instance many marketers have taken into account ethnic differences in terms of cultural values, native language, religious values, family values, etc, when they formulate their strategies.
On the other hand, companies in many industries (e.g. food, financial services, etc.) tend to customize their product or services to meet the cultural needs of some ethnic groups as well as immigrants. Likewise advertisers tend to take into account the issue of ethnicity when designing their ads.
