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!
