I’m doing some repairs and painting an old decrepit shed in the back of our property. I anticipate the neighborhood newsletter will feature this headline.
Old Decrepit Man Paints Old Decrepit Shed
Anyway, I needed some help choosing a primer, so took this brochure from the local home improvement store.
I think they missed a great opportunity when designing that piece.
Maybe it’s just my decades of sales and marketing career experience, but that piece just screams at me to be retitled. What do you think of this?
I don’t want to stir up controvery, and I can’t paint a pretty picture of guaranteed increased sales, but I won’t gloss over the fact that mine is a more catchy title. Even my friend Matte agrees.
But what top color should I paint it? For almost 60 years now, the Rolling Stones have been dispensing the same advice. Concert video from 2 days ago follows. Rock on, Stones!
But the shed will be a dark green. Sorry, Mick & Keith.
