What the San Bernardino market is like

San Bernardino is a freight hub for the Inland Empire: the railroad has been here for generations, and its airport handles operations for Amazon, FedEx and UPS. It also has its own history in Spanish. Mount Vernon Avenue, on old Route 66, was the heart of Mexican American business on the Westside, and Mitla Cafe has been open since 1937.

Start with the Westside and Mount Vernon Avenue, where customers recognize businesses that go back generations. Neighboring Riverside is a natural part of the same region if your customers move between the two.

Build a full Spanish version of what you sell most

More than one in three people in San Bernardino speaks Spanish at home. Start with your main service pages. A translated sentence on the home page won't be enough for someone to choose you.

Cover Spanish at the moments that decide the sale

34.2% of Spanish speakers here say they speak English less than "very well". Prioritize what builds trust: prices, guarantees, payment options and who to contact.

Three ideas for San Bernardino businesses

Westside restaurants and shops

If your business has been here for years, say so. The year you opened, your family name and an old photo say more than a discount in a neighborhood that remembers who stayed.

Warehousing and transportation

People looking for warehouse work compare quickly. Post the shift, the pay and how to get there in Spanish, and ask only for the details needed to apply from a phone.

Auto shops and repairs

Household income here is well below the California average. Publish reference prices and payment options, because knowing the cost before calling makes a real difference.

If you'd like the step-by-step, read our Spanish marketing guide. It helps you decide what to publish first and how to measure it.
