Aflacenespanol.com features engaging content, videos and the beloved Aflac Duck, specifically tailored to the unique needs of Hispanic consumers, business decision-makers, and prospective bilingual agents. Each section encourages visitor participation through interactive vignettes starring the Aflac Duck. Among the distinctive elements featured on the site, is a special section titled 'Nuestras Historias' (Our Stories) featuring Aflac agents telling stories of their own success selling Aflac in the Hispanic market and revealing the deep sense of satisfaction they get from making a difference in their communities.

"When making important decisions about finances and family protection, I find that many people are just more comfortable communicating in their preferred language," Texas sales agent Samali Gutierrez-May says.
