Quality Importers Announces “Qualified Program” for Brick & Mortar Stores – Cigar News

Quality Importers Trading Company (QI) has announced the Quality Importers Qualified Program, a loyalty program for Brick & Mortar retail stores that feature premium cigar accessories from the Quality Importers family of brands. This program is being launched in conjunction with QI celebrating its 23rd Anniversary as a company and is marking the milestone by rewarding their retailers who joined in QI’s journey.

The Qualified Program is a loyalty program designed to reward retailers who reach key spending
tiers and carry four core brands: Humidor Supreme, Xikar, Palio and Cigar Caddy. Retailers who
qualify for the program will receive larger discounts, immediate savings on their shipping costs*,
exclusive product offerings, access to promotional goods designed to aid sell out and finally, the
ability to become a Xikar Authorized Warranty Location. These Qualified retailers will have the
ability to repair or exchange Xikar products with manufacturing defects for their customers that
are covered under the Xikar Limited Lifetime Warranty. This is to serve in addition to the Xikar
Limited Lifetime Warranty consumer portal via Xikar.com/warranty which has served thousands
of loyal Xikar consumers to date.

We are grateful for every customer who has joined us on our journey these past 23 years, and we have launched this program as a way to thank those of you who have grown with us and invite new customers to see the benefits of joining the QI family. The Qualified Program is just another example of how we put your customer feedback into action as part of our QI 3.0 initiative that was launched last year.

Michael Giordano, CEO and Founder of QI

Benefits of the Qualified program are extended as soon as a retailer hits the qualifications (spend
and brands) and last through the next calendar year. As a sign of gratitude, retailers who met
the key spending tiers in 2022 will be auto-enrolled into the program and will gain benefits
immediately for 2023.

We crafted this program with the retailers’ top of mind, as our team intimately knows the challenges you face. Our goal is to
make your lives easier while making more money for your business. QI is the one true source of all your premium cigar accessory needs. With just one call our team will expertly service those needs, allowing you more time to focus on your store and customers.
