Q-Active: Blazing Trails for a Greener World
Skiing and running are much more than business to us—they’re a way of life. So we’re keenly aware how our enjoyment of the outdoors—and the prosperity of our industry—are intimately linked with the health of the environment. That’s why Q-Active and our parent company QBP engage in advocacy efforts to build more trails across America for runners, hikers, bikers, skiers and pedestrians. We also regularly participate in community efforts like trail building and clean-up projects. And because a more livable planet starts at home, we make great efforts to reduce our ecological footprint though company-wide recycling, energy saving measures and reduced consumption of materials. In fact, this catalog is printed on post-consumer recycled paper.
On a global scale these are small steps to be sure, but working together we can affect big changes for our selves, our communities and our world. We look forward to partnering with you in 2008 through business, pleasure and pursuit of all things outdoors.
Your One-Stop Shop
With more than 110 brands for ski and more than 80 for run, Q-Active is a one-stop shop for most of the best-in-category products you need. This year, we’ve dramatically expanded our selection of cornerstone brands in both categories. And because you can buy as much as you need when you need, you’re free to try new products at little risk. Plus, same-day shipping gets it to you fast.
While we understand you currently order many items directly, you may be able to lower your total cost of doing business by using Q-Active as a distributor. We believe we can add value to your business in many ways.
Carry More Products with Less Risk
Expand your product assortment without buying large quantities. Q-Active can become your warehouse, reducing the risk of purchasing and shelving products from many vendors.
Cut the Cost of Procurement
Placing, receiving, and paying for orders from many different vendors eats time and money every month. With Q-Active, you can place one order, do one receiving, and pay one bill.
Reap the Benefits of Fast, Accurate Orders and Shipping
Our Perfect Order Guarantee ensures that your order is filled and shipped right the first time.
New Company - Decades of Experience
As a division of QBP, a Minneapolis-based distributor to the bicycle industry, Q-Active benefits from its parent company’s more than 26 years of customer service and shipping excellence. We have the technology, people, training and experience to ship your order the same day with unparalleled accuracy. And by partnering with the industry’s top vendors, we bring you a more flexible and efficient distribution model.
Most of all, we draw from our staff’s deep passion for outdoor sports. Our ranks include Nordic skiers, marathon runners, triathletes and cyclists of all stripes. We bike to work, run during lunch and in the winter we ski through the neighboring preserve. We bring the same spirit of fun, striving and adventure to everything we do at Q-Active. It’s been a great run so far and we’re just getting underway. See you on the trails!
