Sometimes it is About What You Know

The Powder Coating Institute (PCI) is dedicated to ongoing efforts promoting the use of powder coatings. The association takes pride in committing resources to focus on goals that are important to PCI members and the industry. As part of this continuous effort, PCI has strategically organized a campaign to expand awareness about the benefits of powder coatings.

The campaign is composed of two video series. One targeting the consumer audience, and the other targeting product manufacturers, or more commonly, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Each video series will emphasize a message that powder coatings are Stronger, Greener, and Better. Viewers will see and hear this message highlighted throughout the storyline along with the appearance of the PCI Powder Coated Tough Stamp.

Within each video series, PCI will produce additional videos targeting specific consumer and industry segments, with each delivering a relevant message to the audience. For the consumer audience, the expectation is to promote awareness and inspire consumers to purchase products with a powder coated finish. For the OEMs, these videos will outline the value of producing a product with a powder coated finish. Additionally, these videos will encourage OEMs to use and leverage the Powder Coated Tough Stamp in their marketing and product promotions.

The PCI Promotions

Committee is gearing up for the release of the first two videos, one for the consumer and another for the OEM audiences. Introduction plans include distribution through traditional consumer and industry outlets, as well as via PCI social media channels. The videos will also be part of PCI’s promotion at the upcoming FABTECH 2016 tradeshow in Las Vegas in November.

We are excited about this endeavor and consider it a vital part of our association mission, which is to educate and promote the use of powder coatings. We look forward to your feedback on this project and many others as we jointly work toward strengthening the future prosperity and growth of our industry.
