A Great Marketing Idea From A Longtime TufShield™ Retailer


Marisol Marine in North Vancouver, BC, Canada is a longtime TufShield™ retailer who has a great idea on not only how to display the products themselves but to illustrate the great finish that TufShield™ produces at the same time.

They have created shelving finished with TufShield™ Base Coat and Top Coat Gloss to display the product cans themselves and of course it's a great way for people to see what the actual finish looks like.

On the shelf third from the bottom, you'll see the Base Coat and TS Reducer cans together, on the next shelf down are the cans of Top Coat Gloss, and on the bottom shelf is the Top Coat Satin.

You can also see that on top of some the Base Coat cans, the staff have left TufShield™ brochures available for customers to pick up and take home that helps them learn more about the products.

If you're a TufShield™ retailer and need to get additional brochures to display in your store or to give to customers, please send an email with your mailing address and desired number of brochures by clicking here.









Here is a closeup shot of the shelving to give you a better idea of how nice the finished wood shelving looks in person.
