Bradite’s One Can roadshow got off to an impressive start in January with visits to builders’ and decorators’ merchants in London and the South West.
Supported by the brand’s Wally One Can mascot, the one-day events introduced trade customers to the many advantages of using the quick-drying coating.
Launching the roadshow at Winterstoke Decorators Supply in Weston-super-Mare were Bradite Technical Sales Managers, James Burton and Matt Tomkins. WDS took its first delivery of One Can at the end of last year and set up the special event with their trade customers.
‘It was a very successful event and we were pleased by the number of customers that turned up,’ said WDS owner Debra Knapp. The day included technical demonstrations and visitors left with a free sample.
‘The product has some unique attributes,’ she said. ‘In particular, the quick drying saves time. The stain blocking is also popular, for those repainting rental properties.’
The roadshow then moved on to Builders Depot in West Hampstead. Senior Stock Controller, Adam Bohan said:
‘What was really good was the fact that the product was being explained to our staff as well as the trade customers,’ he said. ‘We wanted the event to be a staff training event as well so they can help customers in future.’
The event also saw an increase in One Can sold: ‘We sold out of the black eggshell very soon. People who have used the product are coming back for more.’
James Burton, Bradite’s Technical Sales Manager comments:
“The plan is to make up for lost time. Having been in and out of lockdown for the past two years it has been difficult to see customers face to face. Both Matt and I are making plans for further events over the next 12 months and hope to be introducing the Bradite products to new customers and meeting up with existing users.
“Wally One Can will be joining us on the trip for photo opportunities and to give away samples and goodies. A great start to the year at WSD and Builders Depot.”
