We launched Diario Retail based on our day-to-day experience in the market and under the premise that:
“If you’re not seen, you don’t exist.”

Diario Retail is positioned as a media platform reaching broad segments of the retail industry, with the corporate objective of becoming our main window to the world.

Initially launched as Diario Retail South America Business, it evolved into a more agile and global identity under the domain www.diarioretail.com.

Today, Diario Retail is an online portal specialized in branding and B2B sales strategies, with a strong presence in the Hispanic sector. Its exclusive focus on the supermarket retail industry makes it a strategic space where manufacturers and producers present their products and brands directly to real buyers — supermarkets — which in turn maintain direct contact with the broader retail ecosystem.

Current Monetization Model

First Stage Completed
Until now, Diario Retail has not been monetized independently but rather as part of the added value of the Chamber’s memberships, the Purchasing Center, and the Grand Retail Show. This integration was an initial strategy for positioning and brand building.

Today, the context is different: Diario Retail is ready to start its own monetization process, leveraging its consolidated identity and its positioning within the U.S. Hispanic retail ecosystem.

Diario Retail as a strategic B2B visibility and connection hub where manufacturers, producers, supermarket chains, government agencies, and companies worldwide find an exclusive space for interaction. This positions it as a unique asset for scaling recurring revenue models (advertising, premium memberships, directories, sector reports, and digital events), with strong growth and sustainability potential.

Third Stage “In Progress”

Create a Mobile B2C App of Store Offers by Supermarket

Diario Retail — “the supermarket daily” of the U.S. and Latin America — by digitizing a weekly offers catalog (still mostly paper-based in many countries) will scale to millions of B2C and B2B interactions daily.

Operational Model

Interactive Digital Catalog of Products Distributed by C&S to Supermarkets

The proposed Diario Retail mobile app will easily integrate with supermarkets or operate independently, acting as HRCOC’s B2C platform, offering brands managed exclusively and directly by C&S.

1. Mobile Platform “Diario Retail App”
   • Concentrates daily and weekly offers of each supermarket with brands distributed by C&S (or affiliated with the Chamber).
   • Postal code/city segmentation so customers see only offers from their local store.
   • Gamification: rewards, points for discounts, sweepstakes for interactions (open, share, save offers).
2. Integration with Supermarkets (B2B)
   • API/direct upload of catalogs in PDF or Excel (what they print now gets digitized in minutes).
   • Retailer panel to update offers in real time.
   • Ability to add paid banners and featured products.
3. Daily B2C Interactions (Millions of Users)
   • Push/email notifications: “New offers at your preferred store.”
   • Personalization: each user selects their usual supermarket and receives curated content.
   • Social commerce: share offers via WhatsApp/social networks.
   • Rewards and loyalty: every time a customer opens the offers directory, they earn points redeemable in stores or exclusive promotions.

Monetization Models

1. A) SaaS Subscription for Supermarkets through HRCOC Membership (B2B)

• Monthly subscription model based on number of stores.
• Small stores upload their catalogs individually.
• Medium chains upload via code access.
• Large national chains upload via code access.

1. B) Advertising and Featured Placement (B2B)

• Supermarkets and brands pay for:
  • Featured placement in the digital catalog.
  • Sponsored offers (products with greater visibility).
  • Exclusive campaigns for segments (moms, students, etc.).
  • Or brands pay per SKU.

1. C) Premium B2C (Optional)

• Free access to the basic catalog.
• Optional paid premium version: personalized alerts, purchase history, exclusive coupons, participation in sweepstakes.

Interaction Scale

With 5M active monthly users, each opening the catalog 2–3 times per week = 40–60M monthly interactions.
Consumer data + purchase patterns become market intelligence (a premium product for manufacturers and retailers).

Differential Value vs. Printed Catalogs

• Always up to date (real time).
• Interactive (save products, create shopping lists).
• Metrics: supermarkets see which products are most viewed and purchased.
• Regional scalability: from the U.S. to LatAm with the same model.
