how to have your Q and eat it, too: Sometimes
as a buyer for a store, you make a big commitment to a manufacturer and carry a
ton of their stuff.
You become a destination for their products. If you do that with Blue Q, our SALES REPS help you be the go-to place to find our stuff. Blue Q Reps are Gold Medal-Winning:
Display Assemblers • Inventory Takers • Trend Spotters • Coffee Drinkers Acrobats • Car Packers • Territory Sheriffs • Patrons of Fun
Other times,
you may choose to carry just a couple of a manufacturer’s categories, so that leaves plenty of opportunities around town for fellow stores to feature the remaining categories.
Our reps help manage that, too.
Either way,
Blue Q’s reps are really helpful, super-friendly, they’re part of our family.
Just like you.
Fine Print: Territory protection isn’t sexy but it’s important. When protecting your store on your block or around your neighborhood or in your town, we start with these basics: • You order through your rep! They call the shots on who carries what and where. Blue Q relies on our reps to be the eyes and ears in your town. Let them help! • You have a brick and mortar store! Steel and glass work, too. • You’re buying at least $750 of Blue Q a year! Though you’re probably buying a bunch more. • Your account is current! No overdue invoices, ok? • To discuss how you can protect your Blue Q assortment, call your rep!
