Spanish term

aterrizar

Spanish to English Marketing Marketing / Market Research
Hi, I'd appreciate your help with this term.

Sorry if there isn't much context but they are short answers to a survey. The survey has been given to several marketing departments of a hardware and software company.

Context is (refers to the launch of products):
"¿Cómo podemos mejorar los lanzamientos para ayudarle a incrementar sus ventas/ingresos?
Aterrizando estos lanzamientos a casos de uso locales."

Thanks :)

focus [...] on

"Aterrizar" used transitively like this is not in the DRAE but is by no means uncommon, in fact. It generally means bringing something down to concrete, specific terms: down to earth, as it were. In this context, I think the idea is best expressed as "focus": giving it a particular, concrete direction:

"Señaló que el reto vendrá después, porque hay que aterrizarlo a nivel municipal"
http://www.jornada.unam.mx/2011/06/24/sociedad/042n2soc

"Es necesario conceptualizar el programa y aterrizarlo a un mundo real"
http://www.peques.com.mx/la_resistencia_al_cambio_en_program...

"Posiblemente se deba a que trabajamos con un lenguaje aludiendo únicamente el nivel macroscópico sin llevarlo al nivel microscópico y aterrizarlo a las actividades que el alumno desarrolla en su vida diaria para generar un aprendizaje significativo."

By the way, I didn't deliberately choose three Mexican examples, but it makes me wonder whether it is a Mexican usage.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Andy Watkinson : Not just Mexican. Marketing agencies in Spain use it too. It's just a literal translation from the English.// It's very simple, Charles. Your "examples" have nothing to do with the question. It' MARKETING. Just read the definition.

Not at all: they are closely analogous to this ST, which has nothing to do with landing pages. The term of the question is not "aterrizaje" but "aterrizar" as a transitive verb. I think you need to explain how you get from one to the other.
agree philgoddard : I think your examples are very relevant.

adapt

You've got a dinger here. I'd say that the writer is talking about adapting a standard launch scenario to a specific place.

Landing - (Landing Page)

Sometimes the literal translation is right. Think about it . most marketing techniques don't come from Spain; the Spanish (aterrizaje) is simply a translation of "landing"

In your text, maybe something like "Adapting the landing of these launches to local standards/usage/features...etc. would need more context.

A couple of examples:

información turística que integren
herramientas de e.marketing e información virtual .... El objeto de este proyecto es aterrizar los contenidos y … es-es.facebook.com/

Otros clientes - Multiplica … donde más que bajar la campaña directa
desde los lineamientos de marketing, hay un entendimiento común con Consorcio y nuestro
equipo sobre la forma de aterrizar los contenidos en la web. … www.multiplica.com/../cliente

I translate the marketing for a major Spanish bank and they use it all the time. 

If the author had wanted to say "focus" "consolidate" etc... he/she would  just have said so.  A couple of examples:

disagree philgoddard : A literal translation makes no sense here, and it's nothing to do with websites.

So SEO has nothing to do with marketing - news to me. Phil, where does it say that this isn't to do with internet marketing? Although maybe you're right.  What hard/software company in its right mind would use a website for Ad&Mkting purposes?
neutral neilmac : While not impossible, without more information it is hard to justify that this is actually the best option in this particular case.
