hi,
I’m Paul Boulais, Sales Rep Manager for Blue Q and I want YOU to call your local sales rep!
Why?
We want you to knock the socks off of your Blue Q sales, and the first step on that yellow brick road is to visit the well of good ideas available only through your rep. 84% of Blue Q’s top accounts work with their sales rep. That ain’t no coincidence, baby. Their broad view of your local area, your competition and your target customers comes from hitting the bricks every day. They know your neighborhood! If that weren’t enough, Blue Q often has deals and specials you can only get through your rep! It literally pays to work with them. Does that sound like a bribe? It kind of is. Don’t know who your rockin’ Blue Q Sales Rep is? What a shame! Give us a call on the toll free 800-321-7576 to get the phone number and email address of your new best friend!
Sales Rep/Blue Q Fan Club President Nancy Barile of Candace & Co. in the Pacific Northwest has been repping Blue Q for a long time. You might think we paid her to write this little list, but we swear she did it on her own!

ArtBird is Roy Fox who, as a child, spent many hours removing pages from his mother’s magazines, cutting them into bits and pasting them into shapes. Roy began working professionally as a collage artist after graduating from Marlboro College, VT in 1973, where he spent three years hiding from the U.S. Army. Roy culls images from his extensive collection of ephemera, books and scrap material and also photographs elements for his artwork.

EVERYTHING WE MAKE IS MADE ETHICALLY. For 25 years, Blue Q has been collaborating with quality factories for the thousands of products we have designed. We’re proud to say we’re unusually involved in this regard; the “fit and finish” of everything we make has to be highly awesome, and Blue Q-ish. After all, we print “Very Best Quality” on everything we make. But more importantly, we’re committed to partnering with expert factories who are good to their employees and the environment. We visit and vet everyone we work with, and vouch for their integrity, so you can, too.
