Declining sales and years of brand and media neglect meant Glidden Paint was about to lose a prime retail distributor. The mission: turn things around without hurting its largest competitor - house favorite, Behr. The plan: inspire would-be painters by proving that painting is not as daunting a chore as it seems. An overhauled in-store experience, a free paint giveaway, and unique placement of TV, innovative magazine inserts, outdoor kiosks and banners all contributed to Glidden's sales jumping up 34 points versus prior year. The dawn of a new era in painting.
