Su Socio de Negocios marks 20 years of helping Latino small businesses.
NORWALK, Calif., Oct. 22, 2026 — Latino business owners learned new ways to reach customers through video on October 21. Su Socio de Negocios hosted the free workshops in Spanish at El Clasificado’s Norwalk office.
With support from BMO, the event brought business owners together to learn and share ideas. It also formed part of the free Desayunos y Talleres breakfast series.
Learn How to Use Video to Reach Customers
First, Alexia de León, a social media marketing manager, shared ways to promote products and services through video. She also discussed how sponsored TV segments can help small businesses reach more people.
“They left with practical ideas and a fresh perspective on opportunities to grow their businesses,” said de León.
Next, Diana Viveros Aguilar, a specialist in strategic communications, helped business owners define their audience. She then showed them how to build a clear message for their videos.
Throughout the workshops, guests asked questions and shared their own experiences. They also discussed how to use these ideas in their daily work.
In addition, guests met other business owners over café de olla and pan dulce.
BMO’s Business Relationship Manager, Mersedes Guerrero, shared her thoughts on the event. She stressed the value of financial education, strong partnerships and trusted advice for business growth.
