Gamblin’s ever cool, only annual TORRIT GREY promotion is available from March 15 – May 31, 2009!
Usually complementary, always complimentary
Every spring, to celebrate Earth Day, the paintmakers at Gamblin Artists Colors clean the Torit® Air Filtration system and collect the mixture of all the pigments used to make Gamblin Artists Colors. Then all of the pigments are mixed together to make Torrit Grey. Because the mix of pigments changes, every batch of Torrit Grey is different. In 2008, over 20 different shades of Torrit Grey were created. Gamblin Artists Colors Co is pleased to announce the 16th annual Torrit Grey Promotion and Contest! Shelf signs are now available for your Gamblin Artists Colors merchandising display to inform your customers that Torrit Grey is coming again soon. This is recommended as a gift-with-purchase promotion for this popular limited edition color. Advertising the promotion is a great way to drive extra foot traffic to your store. Images and copy for your flyers, newsletters, and websites are now available on Gamblin’s new retailer portal at Gamblincolors.com. Many artists collect this complementary color each year and seek out the unique qualities of each edition. To better support our retailers, we are extending the promotion through May 31 this year to maximize the opportunity the promotion creates.
Participation in the Torrit Grey Painting Competition continues to grow each year. 160 submissions were received in 2008 representing a 35% increase. The artists came from 31 states and 5 Canadian Provinces. Along with increased participation, the overall quality of entries continues to challengejudges during the jurying process. Visit Gamblin’s Torrit Grey Web Gallery to see all of the submissions at Gamblincolors.com.
