We helped spread a certain consumable product across offline channels in South America, and it sold like crazy!

Let’s talk about the answer first: electronic cigarette global expansion

Question:Can e-cigarettes go to South America? Sure! The market environment has advantages and few restrictions. How are e-cigarettes sold in South America? Through our channel alone, we have sold millions of them! After e-cigarettes are restricted in many countries and regions, South America may be the best market after the United States.

The straight-line distance from China to South America is more than 10,000 kilometers, which is really too far. Therefore, South America has become a relatively less competitive area for global expansion. For example, in the Indonesian e-cigarette market, no matter how large the user base is, it cannot withstand the global expansion of China. South America is geographically remote, has an unimaginable market space, and has much fewer global expansion groups than other regions.

At present, several supermarket chains in South America have cooperated with the Andes SocialEpoch South American alliance platform, such as: Vega/OXXO/Listo/Mass/Meter, etc.

Like many consumable categories, for e-cigarettes, whoever occupies the channel can immediately open up the market. A logo does not mean a brand. Foreigners do not consider most so-called overseas e-cigarettes to be brands, and they mainly rely on channel promotion.

It is very difficult to develop overseas channels from scratch, but it can be done slowly. Many e-cigarette companies have their bosses who travel thousands of miles to foreign countries with bags on their backs and negotiate channels one by one. In relatively close markets like Southeast Asia, we have seen countless bosses go global expansion to find customers in recent years.

We often hear about bosses who go to Southeast Asia and stay for several months. We rarely hear about bosses who stay in South America for such a long time. There is less competition in the South American market, but it also has its difficulties:

  • The first is the language issue. Except for Brazil, which speaks Portuguese, the rest of South America is Spanish.
  • Secondly, the local cultural customs, aesthetics, and communication methods are very different from China. Unlike some countries around China, you can easily find first-generation immigrants. The Chinese who have taken root in South America, or those who have been doing business for many years, are all third and fourth generations. Even though they are Chinese, it is difficult to chat with them.

If you develop the South American market but have never done business in South America, it can be said that hiring local South Americans will be difficult and there will be a lot of troubles waiting to be solved.

The reason why our Andes-SocialEpoch alliance platform is successful is because we have been deeply cultivated in South America for 40 years and have a strong foundation. We have nearly 100 local South American employees: administration, finance, sales, local promotion, legal affairs, logistics, warehousing, security, etc., truly realizing the global expansion of Chinese enterprises in South America from 0-1.
