I recently returned from a sales summit targeted towards the home improvement industry.

I came away with dozens of insights for companies with anything to do with consumer sales. Let’s face it, that’s what […]
The window film and PPF industries have been buzzing with news recently. It started last week when Eastman announced its intent to acquire the business and assets of Matrix Films LLC, marketer of PremiumShield Performance Films, including its extended line of automotive film patterns.
