Insights

Quad expands its retail media network to Vallarta's stores, strengthening its position in the growing in-store digital advertising market.

Quad's expansion of its In-Store Connect network into Vallarta Supermarkets represents a strategic growth opportunity in the retail media landscape. This partnership gives Quad access to 15 initial stores of Vallarta's 60-store network across California, with Vallarta being highlighted as one of California's fastest-growing Latino-owned grocery chains.

The implementation includes digital signage across high-traffic areas—kiosks, shelf screens, freezer-aisle screens, and vertical banners—all integrated into existing store infrastructure with bilingual messaging. This creates multiple touchpoints throughout the shopper journey, increasing the potential for conversion directly at the point of purchase.

What makes this particularly valuable is Vallarta's customer base: high-frequency grocery shoppers with strong brand loyalty. For CPG marketers, this provides access to a desirable Hispanic consumer demographic that's typically harder to reach through traditional media channels. The Latino consumer market represents over $2.8 trillion in buying power in the US, making this expansion strategically important.

This move strengthens Quad's competitive position specifically in the mid-market grocery segment, where they're positioning In-Store Connect as the "retail media network of choice." The timing is excellent as retailers increasingly seek to monetize their physical spaces through retail media networks, which provide higher-margin revenue streams compared to traditional retail operations.

For Quad, this partnership diversifies their revenue streams beyond their traditional print services, aligning with their strategic transition to becoming a "marketing experience company" rather than just a printing business. The retail media network expansion represents a modernization of their business model that leverages their existing client relationships with CPG brands while creating new digital revenue opportunities.

(NYSE: Quad), a marketing experience company that solves complex marketing challenges for its clients, is expanding its In-Store Connect retail media network into Vallarta Supermarkets, one of California's top Latino-owned grocery chains.

Digital signage in high-traffic areas of the stores will spotlight CPG brands, local products, special promotions, and the fresh, authentic foods that make Vallarta a go-to destination for shoppers.
