ANYONE CAN DO IT!
GLIDDEN PAINTS AND WAL-MART TEAM UP TO TEACH YOU TO PAINT LIKE A
PROFESSIONAL
Christiansburg, VA- Dec 8 2012—Are you painting your house, redoing your kitchen,
painting over that ugly hallway color? Every Saturday between May and October
participating Wal-Marts will be hosting outdoor paint workshops. There will be dry
board cut outs for participators to test paint colors. Paint professionals will be there
to give tips and advice for rookie painters. There will be a raffle and 15 participants
each Saturday will receive a quart of Glidden paint with the color of their choice.
The purpose of these workshops is to improve the perception in consumers mind
about Glidden paint, and to raise awareness that they can purchase all their paint
and accessories from Wal-Mart. They will also have a chance to ask all of their
questions about painting to a professional.
Glidden and Wal-Mart will team up with Better Homes and Gardens to sponsor
these workshops. We will place ads in the Better Homes and Gardens magazines.
Better Homes and Gardens will also offer a free six-month subscription to their
catalog to ten participants every Saturday.
To gain experience and knowledge about painting and free giveaways come join the
Glidden crew at Wal-Mart any Saturday between May and October.
