A few weeks ago, we asked our Facebook fans to describe Queensboro. We asked, “When I say Queensboro, you say __________________.”
One of our fans, a long time Queensboro customer, commented, “Adaire!”
Of course, he was referring to one of our best known employees, Adaire Howard, Business Development Manager. Adaire, originally from Fayetteville, NC, has been at Queensboro for nearly seven years. Her favorite part of working here, she admits, is working with the customers.
“I like being able to work with our customers to develop their brand using our products. I find it gratifying to know that I have helped contribute to their success and growth.” says Adaire.
Adaire was present at the recent Wilmington Biz Expo, representing Queensboro and her specific area of expertise, QB Online Stores. QB Online Stores, or as we call it, “QBOS”, allows customers to sell their own logoed apparel. The highly customizable storefronts allow small business owners, groups and organizations to sell branded apparel and hard goods.
“Some of the best features are the user interface and flexibility of the storefronts,” says Adaire. “It’s easy to customize in order to meet the needs of individual customers. Plus, the profit potential is endless!”
At the Expo, Adaire was connecting with current Queensboro customers, networking with local businesses, and sharing her favorite Queensboro products.
“My favorite item right now is the Sport-Tek Ladies Sport-Wick Stretch 1/4-Zip Pullover. The material is very comfortable and it is fitted perfectly for comfort,” says Adaire about the cozy pullover.
To many, Adaire is “Adaire from Queensboro”, but to her co-workers, she’s “personable, witty and outgoing.”
“Adaire is one of my favorite people at Queensboro,” says Melissa Randall in Marketing. “She’s so incredibly passionate about what she does, and it reflects in everything she’s accomplished for the company.”
“Adaire is a great sales person and resource for Queensboro customers.” adds QB Online Stores Accounts Manager, Ed Daughtridge. “She puts the customer first and strives to build lasting relationships.”
When she’s not representing Queensboro, you can probably find Adaire at her favorite local lunch spot, Chop’s Deli. ”I don’t think I’ve ever been to Chop’s Deli without being greeted by name,” Adaire says. “I can appreciate that they serve local food and eco-friendly products. That really means a lot to myself and our community.”
