Libros787.com operates as a specialized e-commerce platform focusing on literature by Puerto Rican, Latino, and Hispanic authors. The company was established in 2018 by two friends, Carlos A. Quiñones and Isamar Abreu, following the aftermath of a category five hurricane in Puerto Rico. This experience highlighted a market gap for a centralized online source for Latino literature, which was often underrepresented in mainstream bookstores. Quiñones and Abreu aimed to create a platform that would not only serve the growing U.S. Latino population but also provide a wider audience for authors from the community.
The core of the business is an online retail model, selling a diverse range of books directly to consumers. Its target market includes Spanish-speaking readers and members of the Latino diaspora seeking to connect with their cultural roots. The platform facilitates the entire purchase and shipping process, boasting a track record of over 100,000 books shipped worldwide since its inception. This demonstrates a clear demand and operational capability in reaching a global customer base. To drive growth, the company is focusing on several key initiatives. These include enhanced digital marketing to expand its customer base in the U.S. and the development of a multi-vendor marketplace to increase product offerings from third-party sellers. Furthermore, Libros787 is launching a book subscription model, which will provide customers with a curated selection of books on a monthly basis, aiming to create a recurring revenue stream and increase client engagement.
The service provides a user-friendly online storefront that simplifies the discovery and purchase of Spanish-language and Latino-authored books. It offers a wide selection across various genres, from fiction and history to children's literature and cultural studies, featuring both established and independent authors. A key feature is its dedication to promoting and spotlighting these authors, effectively acting as a discovery tool for readers. The company also provides Spanish-speaking customer service, offering a more personalized experience for its core demographic.
