Hold the presses..

Hold the presses! is a term that I always imagined that a reporter or editor would say when they want to add an important update to the news: I will use this subject term in the Post every time I want to add something of an off subject here.

Here is why Martha Stewart makes me mad today. After choosing one of her colors last year called "Potters Clay", which I was already against since I love Benjamin Moore paint mostly. I just didn’t feel good about it but went with it..

 

Yesterday I went to Home Depot (where I originally purchased it from a large display area) only to learn that she sold the colors to Glidden instead of the original vendor which was Home Depot.  What that means is that Home Depot now has to use a Glidden base to mix the paint rather than their own which REALLY means that it won’t match where I need to touch up or finish painting and every wall will now have to be repainted!
 

Ok so she basically went to Glidden I imagine for the extra cash they offered over Home depot even though they were the original host of her launch.


I think that is really terrible and this completes my interest in anything Martha in branding. So take this as a warning NOT to get involved with Martha products.
