The Valencian company VAZ Los Lotes de España was founded in the summer of 1997, beginning its professional journey in the city of Valencia and its surrounding province. Despite its relatively young age, VAZ Los Lotes de España boasts over twenty years of experience in the Christmas gift basket sector, thanks to the management of Vicente Alarcón SL, a shareholder in Los Lotes de España.
The company specializes in preparing Christmas gift sets, boxes, and baskets for distribution to both businesses and individuals.
Currently, Los Lotes de España is the second most important Spanish company in terms of both turnover and number of lots sold, as in just a few years it has managed to expand its commercial activity, manufacturing lots even for distribution chains of the magnitude of Carrefour, Alcampo or Mercadona.
Vicente Alarcón, the company's Managing Director, points out the significant growth of the sector and, consequently, of his company: "Over these more than twenty years dedicated to preparing Christmas gift baskets, we have experienced an upward trajectory in every sense, both in terms of geographical expansion and increased production. We now have representatives and distributors throughout Spain."
– How is the 2001-02 Christmas campaign shaping up?
We started the campaign in March, when we began negotiations with our main suppliers, including Freixenet, Codorníu, Chocolates Valor, Turrones Picó, and others. From there, we put together the selections that will appear in the catalog, featuring a wide variety of wines, hams, cavas, nougat, Iberian cured meats, and all kinds of products.
The biggest challenge we face is that many of our customers start thinking about Christmas in December, which means we only have about twenty days to get the merchandise to any address in Spain. Thanks to our infrastructure, we are able to provide this service.
At this time, there are more than 150 people working to meet the demand of all customers who contact our headquarters in Valencia directly by phone at 96 134 07 07, which is answered by ten lines, or by email at ventas@loslotesdeespanya.com, contacting any of our distributors spread throughout Spain.
This year we are giving away a fraction of the number 57053 of the National Lottery's "Christmas Jackpot" which is held on December 22nd, to all orders exceeding 100.000 pesetas, provided that the order is received before November 22nd with a maximum service date of December 5th.
– How is the national distribution planned?
Due to the complexity of our business, we have a sales network comprised of representatives and distributors throughout Spain, enabling us to deliver our products to any location in the country and offer personalized service to all our customers. We also embrace e-commerce, offering our catalog at http://www.loslotesdeespanya.com.
– What are the trends regarding tastes when companies choose a Christmas gift basket for their employees?
The general trend among employers is to give increasingly comprehensive gift baskets to employees. Market demands require us to continuously improve the quality of our gift baskets, and this can only be achieved by working with the best suppliers and maintaining strict quality control over our products.
We can confirm that Spanish business owners are generous with their employees in this respect.
