Spanish term

afectan (variables que afectan al)

Spanish to English Marketing Marketing Publicidad
Las ventas de las distintas categorías de alimentos se ven afectadas por multiples variables, tales como el poder adquisitivo de los consumidores, la distribución, la publicidad, etc. No acabo de encontrar una versión que me resulte satisfactoria del sencillo término "afectan". En este contexto (tipo eslogan):

"Variables que afectan al canal alimentación"

Le doy vueltas, entre otras, a las siguientes alternativas:

"Variables affecting/influencing the food channel."

"Variables involved in the food channel"
Proposed translations (English)
5 +4 affect (variable which affect the .....)
4 explanatory

Eugenio: Your own "Variables affecting/influencing the food channel" looks fine to me. Perhaps "influencing" sounds more positive... pero es solo un matiz.

I really don't see the problem here.
