WHY LOS CHAPULINES?

We know the reality of the market: distributors’ sales have so many brands to manage, that it’s complicated to count on their support. That’s why, we created Los Chapulines, which is a shared On Trade team between Mexican Brands in the nest European cities. Thanks to Los Chapulines, you can have On Trade Brand Builder in one, two or more cities in Europe at an accessible investment.

WHAT DOES A CHAPULIN?

True aficionados of Mexican spirits, we list and activate our partner’s brand in the best bars in London, Paris and soon other cities.

With a solid local network of bars and bartenders,
and years of experience in Mexican spirits, Our chapulines are a mix of Brand Ambassador and Sales Team.

We are every day in the street to realise the most important task for craft spirits brands: being in the right on trade accounts and transforming them into brand flagships.

WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF HAVING A CHAPULIN?

Our Chapulin will list your brand in your targeted accounts. It’s a long journey; that’s why we need a minimum of 9 months to develop a brand.

But it’s only the first part of our job, as we need to ensure brand rotation. Therefore, we also support by:

  • Ensuring your presence on the menu.
  • Implementing bartenders’ training, making sure they fall in love with your brand.
  • Creating brand content in these bars to interact with bartenders.
  • Organizing Guest shifts in the bars to engage with consumers.

 

We also collaborate every day with your distributor to ensure that the product is well delivered to the accounts.

WHY THIS NAME LOS CHAPULINES?

The word chapulín comes from Nahuatl and is one the base of Los Mexicas culture. The first place they arrived and where they settled for a time was the Cerro del Chapulín, this place that we now know as Chapultepec.

The ancient inhabitants of the Valley of Mexico loved Chapulines not only for their flavor, but also for their song and for considering them outstanding specimens of the animal world.

Chapulines are very agile, fast and therefore very difficult to catch. They have the ability to jump high to avoid obstacles. And they sing proudly to make sure that we know they are present.

Prompt, and efficient, Los Chapulines are supporting noisely Mexican spirits brands in Europe.
