In the United States, Spanish is the de facto "second language", and to not provide your potential customers with information in spanish is to cede those customers to retailers that do! Every website we design includes Spanish translation of brief items (such as menus and captions) free of charge. (Longer documents are charged at a per-word rate depending on the length of the document.) French is spoken throughout Canada, especially in Quebec and Nova Scotia; but did you know that it's also the second most common language in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Louisiana? Portugese is not only the chief language spoken in Portugal but the official language of the 25 million inhabitants of Brazil. So at a minimum, you aren't really reaching out to the entire Western Hemisphere unless your promotional materials are in English, as well as Spanish, French, and Portugese.
