The Starter Kit is a rechargeable, battery operated atomizer that works with blu’s cartridges that allows users to choose their own flavor and nicotine strength. Unlike other e-cigarettes, only blu’s ingestible contents are 100% made in the USA. The full line of blu, including starter kits & disposables, will be sold in 170 H-E-B stores across Texas as well as Meijer’s 153 supercenters and grocery stores throughout Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky.

“It’s exciting to see our products go from strictly online sales to the retail shelves, as demand and popularity for blu grows,’ commented Jason Healy, President of blu Cigs. “We’re a clear choice for retailers because of our unwavering commitment to quality control and stringent production standards combined with our extensive marketing.

blu Cigs mimic the experience of smoking, without the tar, ash, smell, or smoke – instead emitting a smoke-free “puff” that evaporates in seconds.

blu Cigs Builds on Record Year of eCigarette Sales and Growth

admin — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 15:34:27 +0000

blu cigsRaises the Standard for eCig Quality and Customer Satisfaction; Steady Company Growth Satisfies Escalating US Consumer Demand

Market Watch and Blu Cigs

Charlotte, NC – December 19, 2011 – After a record-setting year of sales and industry-first product innovations, e-cigarette market leader blu Cigs is raising the bar once again, on track to significantly expand its retail channels heading into 2012. In the past four months alone, blu has gone from selling solely online to making its products available at over 10,000 retail locations nationwide – from Sheetz, H.E.B., and Meijer, at bars and independent stores, and major drugstore chains across the country.

Since its launch only three years ago, the blu brand has distinguished itself from the rash of new start-ups in the e-cig space, becoming the standard by which consumers and retailers measure product quality and consumer satisfaction. Still the only e-cig company whose ingredients are 100% made in the USA, blu set a new standard for e-cigs in 2011 with the launch of its Smart Pack – which capitalized on the social aspect of smoking and the general public’s open and widespread adoption of social media as the new norm of communication. While e-cig users and press continue to buzz about the Smart Pack, demand has steadily grown for blu’s flagship products including its rechargeable starter packs, cartridges in varying flavors and levels of nicotine, and disposable e-cig,. As a result, online sales are up 70% from last year, demonstrating that more consumers choose blu..

“It’s exciting to see such great brand recognition, and we are responding to that growing demand by offering even more purchasing options for both our new, and longtime customers,” commented Jason Healy, President of blu Cigs. “At the same time, as the only company using USA-made smoke juice, we have always been diligent about the quality of our product, so we are incredibly selective about the retailers we choose – ensuring they adhere to the same standards of quality, customer support and satisfaction so integral to our brand.”

blu’s skyrocketing nationwide brand recognition is no accident or anomaly, and is a direct result of a full advertising and promotional portfolio across TV, print, and online media – including USA Today, OK! Magazine, Esquire, Maxim, and more – not to mention high profile events such as the MTV Music Awards and Country Music Awards. blu has been featured by The New York Times and FastCompany, as well as WIRED, TechCrunch, FOX and NBC News. 2012 will see blu continuing to expand its presence throughout national mainstream media and events to further connect with, inform, and grow its customer base.

Retailers, from pharmacies and grocers to convenience stores, have shown heightened interest in working with blu, based on its brand recognition and product quality, as much as the company’s commitment to driving consumers to retail sales locations. In fact, blu’s store locator – created to help transition more than 350,000 faithful customers from online to retail sales – sees over 9,000 visits per day. This, along with blu’s attractive Point-of-Sale (POS) displays, has helped lead another 6,000 retail locations to commit to carrying blu Cigs’ array of products in January 2012, with expanded international shipping soon to follow. For more information on retail locations carrying blu, or to purchase online, visit www.blucigs.com.

Blu Cigs Donates To Wounded-Warrior-Project

Charlotte, NC – July 11, 2011 – blu Cigs, the e-cigarette brand delivering superior style and flavor with the freedom to enjoy smoking anywhere, has just announced its latest charitable initiative. Throughout the entire month of July, for every pack of Vivid Vanilla cartridges sold, blu Cigs will donate $1 to the Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) – a nonprofit organization offering programs and services to severely injured service members during the time between active duty and transition to civilian life.

Over 44,000 service members have been physically wounded during the current military conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Hundreds of thousands more are estimated to be recovering from invisible wounds of war, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), major depression, and traumatic brain injury (TBI). WWP’s purpose is to raise awareness and to enlist the public’s aid for the needs of injured service members, to help injured servicemen and women aid and assist each other, and to provide unique, direct programs and service to meet their needs.

The Goal Of Blu Cigs.

“Our goal is to raise over $15,000 for the project, and we’re confident our customers will help us achieve that goal,” commented Jason Healy, President of blu Cigs. “This is such a worthy and important cause, and a great opportunity to do something you can truly feel good about – helping soldiers and their families through what can be a very difficult transition.”

blu Cigs mimic the experience of smoking, without the tar, ash, smell, or smoke – instead emitting a smoke-free “puff” that evaporates in seconds. Choose blu’s convenient disposables, individual e-cigs that can be reused for the equivalent of about 20-30 cigarettes, or rechargeable e-cigs with flavor cartridges that can be replaced for continuous daily use. The cartridges allow users to choose their own strength, offering varying levels of nicotine or none at all, and come in flavors such as Magnificent Menthol, Cherry Crush, Java Jolt, Classic Tobacco, and the popular Vivid Vanilla. Unlike other e-cigarettes, only blu’s ingestible contents are 100% made in the USA.

“Keeping a city clean is not something that any single organization can successfully do alone – thus our community and corporate partnerships are critical to our cause. So when blu approached us about partnering for this event, we were happy to get on board,” said Jake Wilson, Executive Director of Keep Mecklenburg Beautiful, an affiliate of the national Keep America Beautiful, Inc. “We are happy to support and donate supplies for an event that encourages our residents to demonstrate their hands-on stewardship in cleaning up Charlotte’s streets.”

“blu makes it a priority to cut down on the waste generated by traditional cigarettes. The rechargeable battery and reusable design of our e-cigs offer a less wasteful option, but it’s only a first step,” commented Jason Healy, President of blu. “As a Charlotte-based company, we’re excited to have this opportunity to go even further by partnering with Keep Mecklenburg Beautiful for this important day of clean-up, that’s sure to be a tradition for many years to come.”

All supplies will be furnished by Keep Mecklenburg Beautiful and immediately following the clean-up, volunteers are invited to an after-party sponsored by Buckhead Saloon from 1-4 PM.

Blu Cigs Now At Sheetz

Charlotte, NC – October 11, 2011 – On the heels of a successful retail store launch earlier this summer, e-cigarette company blu Cigs today announced that it has expanded its in-store presence via a partnership with Sheetz, America’s fastest-growing family-owned and operated convenience store chain. Now, consumers can purchase their favorite blu products in over 400 locations throughout Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland, Virginia, Ohio and North Carolina. Choose from menthol and classic tobacco disposables, high-strength cartridges available in cherry, java, tobacco and menthol, and the product that started it all: the original blu Starter Kit – equipped with everything you need for your first blu experience.

“I’m very excited to be involved with Sheetz since we are both so passionate and dedicated to our brands. We complement each other well,” said Jason Healy, President of blu Cigs. “I’m particularly excited to offer the full line of blu products to Sheetz’s loyal customers, and pleased to drive even more traffic into their stores.”

“We chose blu because we saw first-hand the clear difference in quality between their products and other ones in the e-cig market,” said Jerry Weger, Director of Core Product Sales for Sheetz. “As a family-owned business, we’re incredibly selective about the brands we choose. We went with blu because they’ve clearly captured consumers’ trust, so we feel confident we’re delivering a high quality product to our faithful customers.”

blu Cigs mimic the experience of smoking, without the tar, ash, smell, or smoke – instead emitting a smoke-free “puff” that evaporates in seconds. In addition to blu’s original products, consumers can now purchase blu’s industry-leading Smart Pack exclusively online. The pack features a bevy of tech-savvy enhancements including a homing device to locate other blu users, automatic cartridge re-ordering and longer lasting battery life and flavor.
