Artist Relations
Hi there!
Thank you for your interest in Los Cabos Drumsticks.
We receive inquiries for artist endorsements just about everyday of the week. In a world where
more and more artists are seeking affiliation with product manufacturers as an important stepping
stone in their musical careers, we understand and appreciate the importance of establishing these
types of relationships and review each and every artist application we receive. Before we walk
you through the endorsement process, we feel it is important to first explain a bit about what
endorsements are all about.
First of all, the most important aspect of our endorsement program is the understanding that by
entering into an endorsement relationship with Los Cabos Drumsticks, you first understand and
appreciate what it means to endorse a brand (and be endorsed by the company in return). It is
very important to us that you are already a player of our products and choose our sticks over and
above all other manufacturers out there. In short, if youre seeking an endorsement with us, your
current support of the brand must already be evident.
From a business side of things, a manufacturer endorses an artist because they feel that artist will
help influence other musicians to try their brand. In return for the exposure the artist can offer, the
manufacturer will support the artist through special discounts and in our case, exposure
opportunities through advertising, website features and social media as well. It is extremely
important to realize that endorsement deals are a two-way street and not simply about getting
discounted product. We work closely with many of our artists to lend them support and to help
build the Los Cabos Drumsticks brand in their area.
From our side of things, we are looking to work with like-minded musicians who have established
themselves in the industry and are working hard towards sustaining a career in the music
business. We are seeking allies and ambassadors for our sticks. Our artist family is a very
important part of what we do.
Here are some of the things we consider when reviewing artist applications:

Activity on various social media platforms.

Professional approach to image and career.
Willingness and ability to help grow the brand in their particular area.
High level of exposure through touring and performing.
Good communication skills
