WThe Big Picture

An Uplifting Mural

hen a mural on the side of Spectrum Paints’ Claremore, Oklahoma, store had to be covered for repairs, company vice president of marketing and store development Gentry Stafford reached out to well-known New York muralist Kelsey Montague.

“Kelsey’s work is designed to be interactive, which we thought would be great for our Claremore Main Street,” says Stafford. “We wanted to inspire people to visit our who otherwise might not have.”

Montague takes on a limited number of public art commissions each year, and she accepted Stafford’s invitation.

“I love working with great clients, and the Spectrum family was wonderful to work with,” says Montague. “I also really loved the mission to bring more art to the main street of Claremore.”

Using Benjamin Moore paints, Montague put brush to brick in late May, creating a unique tree mural with hidden images representative of the area. The images included a zebra (the town mascot), foxes and eagles from a nearby lake, a paint can and brush for Spectrum and a rope and hat for Will Rogers, the famous cowboy actor from Claremore. A swing invites visitors into the piece, which is indicative of Montague’s other works, which include interactive art that invites people to share their experiences on social media.

“It’s been really fun to see people take pictures with the mural and use the hashtag #spectrumfamilytree on social media,” says Stafford. “We’ve had a ton of positive feedback from our city, the community and our local business neighbors.”

Sticking to Distancing

Intertape Polymer Group® Releases New Social Distancing Tape

Intertape Polymer Group® introduced a new program featuring essential products for businesses entering the reopening phase, including a tape used to mark social distancing guidelines. The program offers retail packaged products ready for prominent shelf placement.

The full assortment consists of blue and orange indoor tape (1.41 inches by 60 yards) and red and yellow outdoor tape (1.88 inches by 60 yards). Intended to mark 6-foot distance points for directing foot trafﬁc and facilitate safe line formation, the indoor tapes are designed to adhere to hard surfaces and maintain clean removability. Outdoor marking tapes are durable enough to withstand the elements and foot trafﬁc.

“We’ve been closely watching the nation enter the reopening phases of businesses, public areas and restaurants and saw an explicit need for social distancing marking tapes,” says Nick Park, IPG’s vice president of consumer sales. “Social distancing is proving to become a lasting effect from the pandemic and will continue to be practiced even while

restrictions are being lifted. We are prepared to expand and adjust our product mix as social distancing needs continue to arise.”

“IPG is excited to bring the retail version of these products to life,” says Emily Fagen, marketing coordinator. “Businesses can proudly place this product in their store in order to assist in the compliance with social distancing guidelines for minimizing the spread of COVID-19 and other illnesses.”

IPG is a leader in the development, manufacture and sale of paper and film-based pressure-sensitive and water-activated tapes, polyethylene and specialized polyolefin films, protective packaging, engineered coated products and packaging machinery for industrial and retail use.

Tech’s Colorful Role in Paint-Matching

Keep Paint and Proﬁts Flowing With This Must-Have Tool

Adapting to shifting circumstances has always been critical for businesses, but the advent of the pandemic has brought the need for agility and responsiveness to customers’ needs to the forefront. For many, technology has become an essential ally in navigating business demands, both now and for the future. For paint retailers and painting contractors, this has included online orders, curbside paint pickup and home delivery services, to name a few.

Consumer buying habits have been shifting toward online purchasing for years, as have digital forms of communication in which to keep connected with them via web chats, emails, texts and virtual meetings. We’re relying on technology more than ever today, incorporating tools that make working remotely safe, simple, effective and efﬁcient, such as the Benjamin Moore Color Portfolio app paired with its ColorReader device.

The device measures color precisely in seconds and lets you match to any of Benjamin Moore’s 3500+ paint colors without the need to take a drywall sample to the paint store to match.

With the visualization tools found on the Color Portfolio app, contractors and consumers can quickly and easily visualize what a color will look like by “trying on” colors with a photo of a room or using virtual reality to view color on the walls in real-time before a paintbrush even touches the wall. Paint color selection is simpliﬁed making color selection quicker, paint purchasing faster and job turnarounds more seamless and efﬁcient.

“We’re seeing an increase in the use of portable digital tools that simplify color-matching and selection for retailers, contractors and homeowners,” says Andrea Magno, director of color marketing and development for Benjamin Moore.

“Our portable device and app let contractors accurately match paint colors from wherever they are, as well as reference our paint fan decks right from the palm of their hands. They can then share colors with their clients in seconds and use the visualization tools to help their customers with the color selection process remotely.”

Utilizing tech tools that simplify time-consuming processes, such as paint color-matching and selection, and that facilitate easy communication among retailers, contractors and customers is an efﬁcient, time- and money-saving response to today’s business demands.

“The future requires a multifaceted approach to working with your customers, in person and digitally,” says Mindy Murphy, director of retail services at Benjamin Moore. “Tools like the Benjamin Moore Portfolio app and ColorReader device help do just that.”

Providing customers with the kind of tools that enable them to navigate efﬁciently in a digital environment and adapt to shifts in how they engage with their clients or other vendors beneﬁts paint retailers immediately as an additional revenue source and longer term with increased paint sales.

Future Opportunities

Paint and Sundries Sales Projected to Rise in 2021

The Home Improvement Research Institute has updated its 2020 Size of Home Improvement Products Market Study , which provides a ﬁve-year outlook on key home improvement product categories, including paint and sundries.

Overall, HIRI projects the home improvement products market to contract by roughly 9.2 percent as COVID-19 brings sweeping economic and cultural shifts to U.S. shoppers’ lives. DIY purchases could fall by nearly 7 percent for the industry, with contractor purchases dropping nearly 15 percent this year.

Paint products and sundries will also see a decline in 2020, HIRI forecasts. Paints and preservatives,

which includes interior and exterior paint, stain, varnish and shellac, is poised to see a 7.9 percent slip in 2020. Despite these declines, HIRI predicts recovery could be sharp for the category and estimates 2021 sales could climb 3.4 percent among DIYers and by 5.7 percent for pro customers for an overall category sales increase of 4.5 percent.

HIRI foresees paint sundries, which includes painting equipment, tools and brushes, following a similar trajectory. The category could see sales slide as much as 7.3 percent in 2020. However, by 2021, HIRI says DIY sales for the category could climb by 7.4 percent and by more than 9 percent for pros, leading to 7.8 percent category growth over 2020.

Complete the Project

Communicating the Need for the Right Tool Is Key to Selling Success

Whenever you see a well-done painting project, you can generally assume the painter used the appropriate tools to make the job a success. Pros know that quality tools yield quality results. DIY customers, however, typically need the guidance of paint store staff to steer them toward tools they otherwise might not realize they need.

“A great product may not sell well if customers don’t know or understand its use,” says Jason Fritz, sales manager for Allway Tools Inc.

For that reason, Fritz stresses the importance of having in-store personnel who can recommend the right product for the right job—but to do so without overselling.

“It is common that DIY consumers don’t even know a product can help them complete a project, or do the job better,” he says. “Know what the customer needs to do, and then be able to recommend all the necessary products.”

Selling Strategies

Retailers can use a variety of strategies to educate consumers and increase sales—everything from effective in-store merchandising to a well-designed website and strong social media presence.

“One of the most impactful things a paint store can do to increase sales is to provide easily accessible resources to answer common questions customers will have about these products,” says Alan Crupper, senior vice president of Red Devil Inc. “As a manufacturer, we aim to provide signage and sales aids to clearly describe the product features, uses and potential projects that require spotlight products. Simply providing a customer with product ideas can sometimes inspire them to purchase. Also, blogs, social media and email marketing can be used to draw awareness to spotlight products, share tips, disseminate how-to resources and highlight project ideas that require multiple spotlight tools.”

Crupper says the paint desk at each store should have QR codes available that link to the store’s website, blog or manufacturer’s website so consumers can see demo videos and helpful advice for effectively using the tool. Not only do these resources help motivate consumers to make a purchase, but Crupper observes that they also make it easier to train employees on how to use painting tools.

With ﬁrsthand knowledge, employees will be better able to provide customers with expert tips and advice.

Boxing Lu, vice president of operations for Allway Tools, concurs that a retailer’s website can be helpful to consumers if it has great content. Retailers also can direct consumers to online educational resources, such as YouTube videos. However, the most effective way to educate consumers is through direct in-store sales assistance.

“Our best advice is to learn and get excited about the products, their features and understand the innovation they entail,” Lu says. “Store employees can learn all these great features in their assortment and help inﬂuence their customers with knowledge and enthusiasm. Allway’s unique designs and features resonate better when explained well.”

Top: A strong display can often make the sale for you. Allway Tools’ EZ Paint line includes an easily organized display for customers to grab what they need.

Bottom: Versatility can make all the difference, which makes Red Devil’s Painter’s 6-in-1 tool a key addition to any set.

Keith Herwig, president and CEO of Warner Tool Products, recommends retailers use counter displays to promote their tools.

“Warner has added helpful icons to a lot of our packaging to help DIYers understand the features and beneﬁts of our tools and help them pick the right tool for the job,” Herwig says. “We also manufacture many of our products here in the U.S. Helping retailers call attention to this in their merchandising shows that retailers and consumers like supporting jobs here.”

Appealing to Consumers

DIY customers often are attracted to the same tools as professional painters, but they may differ on what factors motivate them to purchase a particular product.

“OLFA is a great knife for both pro and DIY users,” says Grant Shepherd, national sales manager for OLFA North America. “While most pros know and appreciate quality and value, DIY shoppers can be more price-sensitive.”

Shepherd recommends in-store sales associates highlight the value of OLFA’s snap-off blade technology as a way for consumers to save both time and money.

“Having up-to 13 cutting edges per blade is more economical than having to buy and change new blades throughout the day,” he says.

Another effective strategy to use with DIY customers is an in-store demonstration, which is why Shepherd recommends having a demo knife to offer on-the-spot training.

Many DIYers already are familiar with the OLFA name, so in most instances, just displaying the brand prominently will be enough to drive sales.

“OLFA is one of the most-recognized brands in the paint industry,” Shepherd says. “If you merchandise it where customers can see it, OLFA sells itself.

OLFA offers promotions frequently throughout the year. We encourage stores to take advantage of promotional buys that offer great values for our retail partners and loyal customers.”

Product Innovations

Innovation continues to drive the tool category. Manufacturers are working diligently to bring a steady stream of new products onto the market that allow professional and DIY customers to accomplish a given task faster, safer and more conveniently.

“We are constantly looking to innovate and introduce new items in the paint sundries market,” says Fritz of Allway. “We look for ways to add new functions, improve current functions, maintain quality and keep costs as low as possible.”

Many of Allway’s products are patented, such as its helix mixers, which are designed to mix paint and solvents quickly, easily and efﬁciently.

“They are the fastest on the market,” Lu says. “The helix shape of the head allows the paint to be mixed throughout the can or bucket as they propel the liquid up and down instead of just mixing the bottom of the can.”

Other innovative products from Allway include a narrow head 5-gallon mixer, which allows the head to be inserted into the bucket hole without removing the lid; a versatile 3-in-1 caulking tool; and a line of paint cups and paint pails.

The 24-ounce paint cups and 48-ounce paint pails, along with disposable liners made of 100 percent recycled plastic, are merchandised on a full-size display that Allway sells directly to stores. The display highlights useful product features, such as the comfortably shaped handle and convenient pouring spout on the paint cup and the innovative handle design on the paint pail that is both comfortable and strong enough to hold a large amount of paint.

“On the display, product images, instructions and uses add that extra element to help a product stand out and provide all necessary details to help a customer get what they need,” Lu says.

At Warner, Herwig says there is great demand, among pro painters and DIYers alike, for tools that allow them to achieve professional results.

“Job-speciﬁc tools, such as our new Painter’s Series Pry Bar, and ProGrip™ multitools and our 8-in-1 Painter’s Tool and 5-in-1 Tool, are strong sellers as project preparation given their broad uses and ergonomic grips,” he says. “They can be used for extended periods with little grip fatigue.”

Warner Tool Products includes a diverse line of scrapers and other hand tools to help DIYers through a project from start to finish.

One tool that may appeal to professionals and DIYers alike is OLFA’s Ultra-Sharp Black Snap-Off Blade, which comes in two sizes. Being able to snap off blades as you go will save pros time and the knife may be just the right combination of convenience and affordability for DIYers.

Many of Warner’s products carry a lifetime guarantee and chemical-resistant material, which ensures that the company’s investment in quality tools will stand the test of time. Warner also is seeing strong demand for carbide blade scrapers, as the pro market continues to migrate toward these quality tools.

“The new Carbide Scraper with newly engineered handles for improved grip and scraping effectiveness has been widely regarded for its durability,” Herwig says. “Custom blended carbide formulation for enhanced blade life has changed the game when it comes to prepping surfaces that require signiﬁcant scraping. The new multitool Scrape+Brush combines a four-edge scraper and wire brush into a single tool, improving efﬁciency when prepping surfaces that need both tools for effective preparation.”

A Versatile Selection

Versatility is another key attribute of the tool category. Manufacturers provide a full breadth of tools so when customers walk into a paint store and describe their needs, the sales staff can say, “We have a tool for that.”

OLFA, for example, is the global leader of innovative blades and cutters that customers can use to perform a variety of tasks.

“The 9 mm size is perfect for anyone shopping for wallpaper, tape, caulk or art projects,” Shepherd says. “OLFA’s 18 mm size offers more utility and stands up to tougher jobs like drywall applications, general construction use, rooﬁng, frequent cutting or difﬁcult cuts that require more force.”

OLFA’s 9 mm ABB Ultra-Sharp Black Snap-Off Blades have been a staple in the paint and wallcovering industry for generations, Shepherd adds. The blades feature a double-honed cutting edge that is 25 percent sharper than a standard blade.

“The ultra-sharp edge is ideal for intricate cuts where precision is most important,” he says.

Providing customers with a broad and versatile product selection is also the focus at Red Devil. Among the company’s most versatile products is the Painter’s 6-in-1, a multiuse tool that conveniently includes a scraper, spreader, gouger, putty remover, nail setter and paint roller cleaner.

“At Red Devil, we aim to be a one-stop shop for our customers by providing the products they need to help them complete their DIY projects with professional results,” Crupper says.

Other innovative products from the company include Create-A-Color® Caulk Coloring System, which enables customers to match their caulk color to their paint for a seamless ﬁnish; and the SSK Sealant Smoothing Kit, a customer favorite that includes a smoothing spray and innovative smoothing tool.

“This kit helps users achieve a perfect caulk ﬁnish with minimal effort or time,” Crupper says. “Using these tools together helps our customers save time and money without sacriﬁcing the quality of their paint project.”

Finish Without Fear

Making Staining Easy for DIY

WCustomers

ood finishing can be complicated—staining, wiping, sanding, dusting, plus two, three, four coats and a coat of polyurethane. There are a lot of questions inexperienced wood finishers may ask, if only they knew what those questions were. A newer generation of products is much easier to use, which gives experienced wood finishers a great opportunity to improve their trade and gives your beginning customers a chance to take on that interior stain project without fear.

Identification Before Creation

Inexperienced customers need more confidence as they journey into the world of wood stain. An ideal introduction would be on wood surfaces that have not been previously stained, since they won’t have to start by removing a finish. For previously stained items, smaller is better for a first-time stainer.

If a customer can’t identify the wood, ask for a picture. It will be easier for you to recommend the correct products once you identify the type of wood. It can also be crucial to see a photo of any damage so you can recommend a repair, which can be as minor as a touch-up with a stain marker or as in depth as a total refinishing. After you know what surface your customer is working with, show them how the wood itself influences the final color of the stain.

“Most stain labels show the stain as it appears on red oak, but they tend to look lighter and cooler with less red and more gray on woods like pine or maple,” says Jessica Bahn, brand manager of interior wood care at Rust-Oleum.

“Knowing they can complete a project quickly and easily is great motivation for DIYers.”

—Jessica Bahn, Rust-Oleum

Setting Up to Stain

DIYers will be more likely to take up wood ﬁnishing projects if they can start off easy, says Old Masters director Robert Reints.

“The first step is to find out which type of surface they are covering, for example new bare wood, a previously finished surface in good condition or a finish, including old paint, in poor condition,” he says. “If the finish is in good condition, after sanding and cleaning, it can be covered with stain or a clear finish to complete the project.”

One of the most common issues DIYers run into with staining is blotchiness. Softer woods such as pine, ﬁr, maple and poplar can absorb stain unevenly and become blotchy and may need a wood conditioner.

“Old Masters Wood Conditioner is a clear wood sealer which enables uniform stain application with either oil- or water-based stains,” Reints says.

Once the surface is ﬁlled and conditioned, Reints recommends the company’s Wiping Stain for beginners.

“Its thick, rich formula is easy to use and allows DIYers to achieve a rich and uniform color on most surfaces in a single application,” he says.

Another option is to recommend a stain that doesn’t require a conditioner, such as Varathane Premium Fast Dry Stain, says Bahn.

“It only needs one coat and has a one-hour dry time, so they can complete projects in an afternoon,” she says. “Knowing they can complete a project quickly and easily is great motivation for DIYers.”

The Quest for Imperfection

Michele Margotta Neary, vice president of marketing at UGL, advises retailers to tell customers staining isn’t what it used to be, both with the products themselves and the idea of what a “good ﬁnish” looks like.

“If you are in Generation X and were brought up in a family of woodworkers, you probably remember heavy smells of paint and varnish

Recent design trends have made it easier for staining to become a popular project. Rustic decor doesn’t require the end project to be perfect, so DIYers who are new to staining may end up with a trendy result, even if their technique isn’t spot on

remover,” she says. “You probably also remember the labor it took to remove clear ﬁnishes which were probably shellacs—much different than the polyurethanes of today.”

Along with modern products being more eco-friendly and easier to apply, modern styles make these projects more fun as imagination triumphs over perfection. A haphazard ﬁnish that may have brought up feelings of indignation two decades ago often ﬁts right in with modern decor.

“Interior design styles today are not as polished as in the past,” says Neary. “Two-tone, milk-washed and glazed all leave ﬁnishes a little heavy in some areas and a little lighter in others. Personalization of a custom-blended color or a project with two colors makes ﬁnishing more an art rather than a science.”

To further help DIYers overcome their jitters, encourage them to start their staining on a piece of upcycled furniture.

“Restaining an old piece is an inexpensive way to test your talents without a signiﬁcant investment,” says Neary. “If you like the outcome, keep it; if you don’t, put it on Facebook Marketplace and recoup your product costs.”

Neary says some stains, including ZAR from UGL, can be applied directly over previously coated surfaces.

“Start with a light color,” she says. “If the surface is coated with a cream or white paint or stain, it is OK to apply ZAR on top. ZAR is a full-bodied stain that adheres like paint. If you want to see the grain, strip the coating and reapply the stain or clear ﬁnish.”

Feed the Wood

For customers who might want to spruce up their wood surfaces, Howard Products Feed & Wax is an easy-to-use product that can be applied over old or new finishes as a wood polish and conditioner.

“This product enhances the natural beauty and depth of grain and also helps prevent drying and deterioration of wood finishes,” says Howard Products national sales manager Justine Evans.

“This product is suited for DIYers who want to polish and protect antiques, dining tables, kitchen cabinets or wood doors and trim because it’s a perfect, easy-to-apply satin wax finish for any stain.”

Tackle Box

If your customers are already in the market for paint, take the time to show them additional decorating ideas.

“Inspire the customer with displays of products and pictures,” says Mike Mundwiller, ﬁeld development manager at Benjamin Moore. “You can also highlight signage which leads DIYers to ask questions.”

Find out as much as you can about the goal of their project, the history of the surface in question and the current state of that surface. With this information, you can advise them on key performance beneﬁts that certain products offer to address their speciﬁc conditions. Mundwiller recommends starting small.

“As they get more comfortable, they can consider scaling up to doors or cabinets,” he says.

Mundwiller agrees that stain is easier to use today, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t prep. While new products have made stain easier to manage for many DIYers, it does take

• Restor-A-Finish is a unique finish-penetrating formula that restores wood finishes while blending out minor scratches, blemishes, and abrasions

• With a simple wipe-on, wipe-off process, most finished wood surfaces that seem to need a complete refinishing job can be restored in a few minutes

• Removes white heat rings and water marks, sun fade, oxidation, smoke damage, etc.

Restor-A-Finish preserves and restores wood finishes without having to strip, sand, and refinish. It penetrates faded lacquer, shellac, and varnish finishes to bring back the original color and luster. Restoring the depth of grain in wood finishes, it goes much deeper than temporary “scratch cover” products. Restor-A-Finish penetrates and permanently restores most wood finishes without removing any of the existing finishthis is why it is very popular for antiques. Restor-A-Finish maintains the original "patina" of an antique finish, maintaining its character and value as an antique. To protect the newly restored finish Feed-N-Wax is recommended as a follow-up to Restor-A-Finish.

DIYers have the option to customize the finish of the final product. SamaN’s One Step can be used over existing coatings and can result in different levels of shade and shine.

“Advancements in waterborne alkyd technology provide easier application and cleanup while still maintaining the ﬂow, leveling and durability of the older oil-based products,” he says. “Surfaces should be cleaned and free of dust, dirt, grease and mildew, then sanded to remove any loose ﬁbers.”

Facing Your Fears

Lindsey Ray, PPG’s marketing manager for Olympic Woodcare Products, says new DIYers may not know where to start when they are browsing your wood-ﬁnishing department. Being overwhelmed by the process might make them take a step back. Another sticking point is a lack of product knowledge, she says, for example not understanding why they can’t use the same products for aged paneling and kitchen cabinets.

“Over the last decade, advanced formulations in coatings technologies have simpliﬁed and streamlined the interior staining process,” says Ray. “Customers today have a wider range of options in terms of color, durability, stain and scratch resistance, among other features, allowing them to create the look they envisioned without sacriﬁcing performance.”

Simplified Staining

FINISH STRONG

SamaN has built its reputation on simplifying the staining process, allowing users to mix factory colors to make their own discoveries and to get great results in a single coat. SamaN has limited its stain projects to just one step, says Ashley Fleming, SamaN’s vice president of U.S. sales and marketing.

“With SamaN’s One Step—seal, stain and varnish in one formula—you can stain over already stained surfaces to change the wood color,” she says.

Fleming points to a trend of homeowners wanting to change their color but keep the grain visible.

“Darker colors and grays are very popular for this project,” she says.

After cleaning and an optional light sanding, add a thin layer of One Step over existing molding, furniture, cabinets, banisters or other wood surface.

After two hours, an optional second coat adds a deeper color with a bit more reﬂection.

“For contractors who just installed new ﬂooring and now have trim to match, this product can save weeks of work. For DIYers, the easy prep, water cleanup, low odor and fast dry times make this product among our top sellers,” she says. “Some users have said it looks like a factory ﬁnish.”

What’s Cookin’?

Laney Landis, president and owner of Old Village Paints, offers three quick selling points, which should encourage customers to give this brand a try.

“It’s easy to use, customers will get the result they desire easily and the end result will last for many years,” she says.

Speaking of lasting many years, Old Village was founded in 1816, and 204 years later, it’s still giving customers the look and feel of old-time ﬁnishes. It takes some hard work, she says, to make 2020 look like 1820.

“We do not use polyurethane in our products, so it does not look ‘plasticky,’” she says. “We do, however, have some amazing proprietary ingredients that are much nicer than urethane.”

These ingredients make the gel easy to work with, even over a long-haul project.

“Old Village Gel Stain and Glaze does not glob up while staining large areas like many other gels do, so it is much easier to work with,” says Landis.

A user can put on as many or as few coats as they like, depending on the depth of ﬁnish desired. Just like with any stain, remind your customer to test it out to verify how the color looks on the wood.

“All stains are translucent to some degree, so depending on the wood, the ﬁnal shade will be lighter or darker,” says Landis. “For example, walnut starts out as a dark brown wood. Pine is almost white. Any stain color you apply to those two woods will look different. The stained walnut will still be changed but darker than the stained pine.”

How Moule Paint and Glass Has Served Small-Town California for Over 70 Years

Since Bill and Margaret Moule purchased a paint and glass store in 1949 to establish Moule Paint and Glass in Grass Valley, California, the company has always done things a bit differently than your usual paint and decorating retailer.

In fact, Moule Paint and Glass has always operated three distinct businesses under one roof: a full-service paint store, an auto glass shop and a glass shop for selling and installing products such as windows, showers and mirrors.

When Bill and Margaret’s son Jim and his wife, Janice, purchased the store in 1976, they continued business as usual. Then in January 2019, Jim and Janice’s son, Sean took over business operations, continuing the company’s legacy.

“In the past, windows and paint went together better than they do now because most windows were wood windows,” says Sean Moule, CEO of Moule Paint and Glass. “Most were single-pane, putty windows that you had to replace the glass and then paint with oil-based paints.”

He says the same applied to vehicles because years ago, before there was curved glass in cars and trucks, they used ﬂat glass you would do in shop.

“Now it’s so specialized,” Moule says. “Over the decades, each one has become more specialized.”

In the glass department, Moule Paint and Glass sells and installs windows, skylights, mirrors and showers. The company also carries picture frame plate glass, cabinet glass and custom glass. In addition, the store provides screen services, including repairing, replacing and fabricating window screens, screen doors, sunscreens, storm doors and retractable screen doors.

Generations of Customers

“The fact is folks look to us to do auto glass, they look to us for their glasswork, they look to us as their paint shop, to serve them and to keep that connection with them.”

—Sean Moule, Moule Paint and Glass

The auto glass department focuses on windshield replacement and repair plus side and back glass replacement. In addition, the business offers rear and side view mirror replacement services.

“For any employee who comes on, it’s a lot to learn because even though we do our best to become specialized in one department or another, there’s always overlap,” Moule says. “You could be mixing paint at one moment, and then the next, you’re ﬁelding a question about screens. It’s just the nature of the business here.”

The company’s dedication to learning those changes and adapting to the specialization has served Moule Paint and Glass well.

“We have a very loyal and multigenerational customer base,” Moule says. “We have several contractors I can think of whose parents are our customers. If I were to really think about it, there are probably some third-generation contractors and customers.”

Keeping those customers satisﬁed and returning time and again is a key component of how Moule runs the business.

“Customer service is the bedrock of our company,” he says. “The fact is folks look to us to do auto glass, they look to us for their glasswork, they look to us as their paint shop. To serve them and to keep that connection with them, we’ve had to ﬁgure out how to maintain all three because it can be complicated at times.”

Moule says many of his customers come to his store not only for products but also for answers on how to complete their project.

“We are focused on customers and expertise,” Moule says. “A lot of people will come to us and say,

Since Moule Paint and Glass opened for business in 1949, the company has offered an array of glass products and glass installation services.

‘OK, I want to do this. This is the wood I have. How would you approach this? What would you do?’ rather than going into a hardware store and just picking the paint that’s off the shelf. Our expertise and a customer-centric model deﬁnitely set us apart. I’m sure there are plenty of people who just want a blue wall, and they just go buy the blue paint at the hardware store.”

In addition to answering DIYers’ questions, Moule Paint and Glass values its contractor business as well. He estimates contractor sales at his store are approximately 70 to 75 percent of the total business.

“A lot of the contractors here don’t get bulk orders from their local hardware stores,” Moule says. “They’re getting it from either our shop or the other major competitor in town or from a couple of shops down in the next town.”

Training Model

To keep that business thriving and to ensure the company’s 18 employees can provide the assistance their customers need, Moule Paint and Glass is committed to ongoing training. During the slower winter months, Moule invites manufacturer representatives in to go over new products, explain how they work and discuss their benefits. Each winter, they host between three and five sessions. The store recently welcomed Gemini representatives to sit down with the staff, go over their lacquer products, what Moule stocks, and the features and benefits of those products.

Customers of Moule Paint and Glass include DIYers and contractors. Third-generation owner Sean Moule says many customers and their families have stayed with the company for as long as it’s been in operation, including some who are third-generation, like him.

“We want to stay up to date on new products and techniques for preparation and application,” Moule says. “You’re always hiring, and people are coming and going, so to get them beyond just hearing how people are selling to hear it from the manufacturers I think is really important. It’s one thing to sell a product, but to sell it for the right application is challenging. You certainly wouldn’t want to tell somebody, ‘Oh yeah, go over that. It’ll adhere fine,’ and it’s not. You can really get in a pickle if you misspeak. It doesn’t take much. It’s important to us to make sure our employees have training to know what they’re talking about.”

Moule Paint and Glass also wants its staff to feel invested in the business, so staff members are encouraged to help meeting the store’s annual financial goals by rewarding them through a monetary bonus program.

“Each week, I encourage my staff to look at the sales and keep on top of that themselves because I want them to be invested and think about how they could boost sales,” Moule says. “I encourage add-on sales as one strategy, telling them, ‘If you add a paintbrush to that sale, it would be 10 percent more.’ It’s getting them to think what we can do to really increase our sales.”

Maintaining a Legacy

With 70 years behind them, what does the next 70 look like for Moule Paint and Glass? Continuing the legacy of the company, Moule says.

The process actually started three years ago when Moule joined the business to take the helm from his father Jim following his retirement. They executed a succession plan to help smooth the process of passing the business from one generation to the next.

Moule Paint and Glass employees get hands-on training from manufacturers to be sure they are staying current on trends.

“Generational businesses, especially in the third generation, are pretty rare,” Moule says. “With a healthy succession plan, it is possible. Looking back on how my parents and I created our plan, I think it went really well. We readied ourselves personally and prepared our employees and our customers for it so it all felt natural the whole time.”

And while there has been some consideration given to possible expansion, Moule says he’s quite happy with the business as it is.

“Customers have asked whether we’re going to open another location or break into a new market. My parents almost did a few times and had different opportunities presented to them,” Moule says. “I have thought about the same thing, but I think we have a really good thing right now where we are.”

Moule says expanding into larger city markets doesn’t appeal to him. He is proud to have found success as a small business owner in a small town.

“It’s a pretty unique set of circumstances to just be able to have this really loyal customer base, so, truthfully, we’re not looking to expand right now or to break into new cities or new markets,” he says. “My biggest goal is to reﬁne and improve what we’re already doing here, to be more efﬁcient, to be a better shop. It’s a luxury to be in that position.”

Moule Paint and Glass has found success in a small town for more than 70 years, operated by three generations of the Moule family.

A Legacy of Quality

Festool Connects to Customers Online and at Events

Attendees at Festool events represent a broad swath of paint retailers, pro painters and woodworking enthusiasts. The company uses the events to debut and demo its woodworking and dust-free sanding equipment as well as educate attendees on some of these machines’ imaginative capabilities. Festool is proud that people identify so positively with the brand that they’ll travel a long distance just to meet with the people behind the products.

Of course, this year, most socializing and professional events have gone online, and while virtual camaraderie isn’t quite as exhilarating as a national get-together, the company is still staying in touch with its customers.

“Since COVID-19, we have hosted several virtual events to connect with all interested in Festool, such as ‘Festool Live’ every week on YouTube where one of our experts goes in depth on a speciﬁc topic or tool while answering questions online,” says Rick Bush, vice president of marketing. “We want to be safe ﬁrst and foremost, but our in-person events, whether it be a trade show, road show or Festool Connect, offer all attendees great insights on the tools they know and love.”

At Festool Connect, for example, different stations are set up where attendees can learn about each tool and have questions answered by the experts. Shows at lumberyards, paint stores or even at the headquarters for the National Wood Flooring Association are tailored to different market segments. And whether you’re new to the brand or have been a loyal customer for years, it’s still worth the visit.

“At each event, when our team goes into detail on different functions and best practices, without a doubt, someone who has been using Festool for years will say they learned something valuable,” Bush says. “Getting to know your tools and how to operate them at peak efﬁciency and precision is one of our main goals at all of our events.”

Value and Durability

The company is celebrating its 95th anniversary this year, and with 350 patents and 80 awards to its name, Festool is well-positioned to move into its second century.

“Festool USA is based in Lebanon, Indiana, with a team dedicated to ensuring the brand continues to deliver for our dealer network and our customers,” says Bush. “For example, all Festool tools sold in America are covered by our three-year wear-and-tear warranty and are serviced in the U.S. by Festool-trained technicians using original Festool parts. It protects our customers’ investment and is an unmatched guarantee in the industry.”

Because of the quality and craftsmanship, the products have a higher price point than its competitive models. This gives retailers the opportunity to talk to customers about value and savings over time—if a product offers better results over a longer period of time, the money invested now will go a long way plus produce better results, and in many cases, allow a woodworker to engage with more creativity. If a pro painter can save time and money, the extra investment will pay for itself.

“Festool is known for value over the long haul,” says Bush. “Festool customers—people who make a living with their tools—expect premium quality construction of their products, long-lasting and reliable tools, and fast, professional service support.”

A visit to company HQ shows that commitment in action, as products needing to be repaired are organized and turned around quickly, so there’s minimum down time.

Clean Living

While many Festool products are designed for woodworking rather than painting, there is a signiﬁcant enough overlap for pro painters to get hooked. Festool even has a dedicated page on its website tailored to paint retailers who are looking to explore the brand.

“Independent stores that specialize in making the professionals’ job more efﬁcient with better results count on Festool’s tools to deliver quality, durability and service support that is unmatched in the industry. Festool offers best-in-class tools for fast material removal and perfect surface preparation, complemented by a variety of accessories and high-quality abrasives for every paint application,” says Bush. “Our Planex Drywall Sander is a must-have for any painter. Festool also makes several dust extractors, including the CT15 and CT Midi, to keep the job site clean and safe.”

The company has developed a line of abrasives speciﬁcally to go with its dust-free sanding units.

“Festool’s line of abrasives comprises premium products designed to provide high-quality results. While they are only compatible with Festool sanders, they can be sold separately from the tools and are marketed depending on the application,” says Bush. “For example, a painter needing to sand wood-based products would want to turn to Festool’s Rubin line of abrasives, which are designed with a special coating to shed wood ﬁbers.”

Retailers may be surprised to learn what a strong, enthusiastic following customers have to Festool products.

“We have several resources available to retailers who want to learn more about the beneﬁts of carrying Festool tools, including our lineup for painters,” says Bush. “We are launching several exciting new products in 2021 that we believe will be valuable assets in a painter’s toolbox, including a premium dust extractor in our CT line of products.”

Visit festoolusa.com or call 888-337-8600 or refer to learn more about the opportunities that are available to you.

Festool USA products come with a three-year warranty and are serviced by certified technicians in Indiana.

Festool abrasives are sold separately from the machines, so you can continue to be your customers’ supplier of choice after the initial sale.

B4 Ways to Bring Customers Back In-Store

usinesses across all segments of retail had to adjust operations over the last several months to determine how best to serve customers during the pandemic. At this point, all states have transitioned into some phase of reopening operations.

Monitor Feedback

Some consumers are returning to normal shopping habits, while others are hesitant to be indoors with the general public. Avoid misinformation and confusion and prioritize safety with these marketing tips to let consumers know they come back into your store safely.

During times of uncertainty, listen to customers and adjust your in-store retail strategies based on their feedback. Send out an email survey asking for customer input and comfort levels. Call customers and talk with them directly to gauge their level of interest. Let them know you appreciate their business now more than ever.

Announce Your Status

Use social media to let customers know you have resumed operations with safety protocols in place. Create a banner on your homepage announcing your status. Write blog posts about the safety steps your staff is taking. Use outdoor sandwich boards and signs to let customers know your store is open and ready for shoppers.

Continue Social Distancing Services

If you offered curbside pickup or delivery during the lockdown, don’t be surprised if you have continued demand for these services. Consumers have grown to appreciate them and other digital offerings, like live streams of daily deals and virtual tours of new inventory. If you can, offer courtesy PPE or hand sanitizer to in-store shoppers.

Expand Outside

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the risk of coronavirus is much lower outdoors. Consider hosting a sidewalk sale or create an outdoor shopping area for customers who are hesitant to step inside. If properly positioned, outdoor shopping could draw in potential new customers and passing consumers.

PDRA Extends Complimentary Marketing Program Access

The Paint and Decorating Retailers Association acted quickly earlier this year to make its content marketing program free to retailers during the pandemic. The association has extended free access to the program through the end of July, so there is still time to access this valuable program.

“Because in-store trafﬁc has slowed while stay-at-home orders were in effect in many communities, retailers have needed to ﬁnd new ways to communicate trends, sales and other information with their customers,” says PDRA CEO LeAnn Day. “The content marketing program is that resource for retailers to develop a new way to reach those customers who may need guidance while they update their homes, whether it’s a weekend painting project or top-to-bottom renovation.”

The program is an all-in-one digital marketing package, including content and images to use in emails, on social media and on your blog.

“Having ready-to-use content at your ﬁngertips each month helps you develop a regular marketing strategy,” Day says. “When you utilize this program, it’s as easy as plugging the content into your email campaign, a Facebook post or your blog.”

In addition to the content and images, the marketing program also comes with an e-newsletter template and access to professionals who can help you set up a program that works for your business.

Paint Company Steps Up During Pandemic

During difﬁcult times, good people often step up, like the team at Sun Paints and Coatings, an adhesive and coatings manufacturer in Tampa Bay, Florida. At the start of the coronavirus pandemic, they learned ﬁrst responders were struggling to get protective supplies, so they decided to help.

“We looked at the approved World Health Organization’s formula for hand sanitizer and realized we had nearly every ingredient on hand to make it—except glycerin, but we were able to source it,” says company CEO Michael Hyer. “There was a real need and we were able to step in and ﬁll it.”

Sun Coatings donated hand sanitizer to city and county police, ﬁre and rescue departments, MacDill Air Force Base and the Mofﬁt Cancer Center for two months until the departments were able to get sanitizer through normal

supply chains. Hyer says the ﬁrst responders and medical workers were overjoyed to get it and offered to pay.

“We told them, ‘You don’t owe us anything,” he says.

“’You help us and keep us safe and we want you to know we appreciate it.’”

The company’s efforts also created a sense of pride in the Sun Coatings work force. Hyer says the plant workers were happy to make a difference during a time of uncertainty.

To date, Sun Coatings has manufactured nearly 10,000 gallons of sanitizer and continues to make it, selling quart containers through the six Sun Paints & Coatings/Dyco retail locations in west and central Florida. The company is also considering offering the product online for business operators and consumers in areas that continue to struggle to get proper supplies.
