Ad Progrom to Aid Deqlers
An extensive advertising program to promote the sale of Armstrong ceilings through lumber and building materials dealers was announced at the 12th annual convention of wholesale distributors held April 9 and 10 in Lancaster, Pa. The new ad program is one of the largest in the building materials industry this year. Advertisements will appear in leading national consumer magazines and in a variety of trade publications. Ceilings will also be featured on the company's network television show. Each commercial will direct attention to the lumber dealer as the place to buy ceiling products.
In leading trade publications, a strong program of advertising will announce new products and product improvements. It will also include case histories of building materials dealers who have increased their sales volume through successful merchandising of the ceilings line. As in previous years, ceilings and other building products will be exhibited in 28 regional and national trade shows.
