Home Improvement Stores

Summary

Before VOC's were a hot topic, ECOS Paints was in the R&D phase to develop water-based paints that not only were free of harsh chemicals and VOC's, but were also extremely durable. Today, ECOS Paints sets the bar in environmentally friendly paints safe enough for people with multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS). They even have a line of air purifying paints that actually absorb VOC's. Unlike other paints that are often diluted to achieve what amounts to be a green-washing certification, ECOS Paints have been developed from scratch with a proprietary mixing process and pigmenting system. In terms of durability, they are tough enough for painting floors and even lane markings.

With established brand cred, this is one retailer sure to deliver a solid conversion rate. With a majority of consumers now seeking out low VOC paints, ECOS Paints is being successfully marketed beyond niche demographics. Higher ticket items, such as 5-gallon paints, return $25+ commissions and an outstanding EPC on targetted traffic.
