Bright Blue Ink was founded in Austin, Texas, in 2013 under the company name Bumperactive.com — "Bumper Stickers for Activists," get it? The original, four team-member printshop began with the vision of providing a service-oriented, high-tech, low-cost campaign merch solution for Progressive candidates and causes in a manner in keeping with the Movement’s values. In our first year, we launched the Texas Democrats Webstore, the first Democratic state-party online store in America. Today, Bright Blue Ink administers the official webstores of 38 state Democratic parties (Our Clients).
During the 2020 campaign cycle, we had the enormous honor of administering the Biden / Harris webstore, shipping more than 962,000 orders over the cycle — with more than 678,000 of those shipping between August and November. Concurrently, we administered the webstores for 14 Democratic presidential primary candidates, five governor candidates, 25 U.S. Senate candidates and 37 U.S. House candidates.
