Indianapolis - March 17, 2015 - Angie’s List (Nasdaq: ANGI) today announced its first exclusive paint manufacturer relationship with America’s Favorite paint, color and coatings brand, Benjamin Moore. The alliance identifies Benjamin Moore as the paint of choice by Angie’s List and provides members with contractor services through its private marketplace.
Angie’s List members will have access to best-in-class products and services while helping Benjamin Moore contractors strengthen and build their businesses with a professional and co-branded certification program.
“At Angie’s List, we are passionate about continuing to deliver increased value to our members,” said Pat Brady, president of Marketplace for Angie’s List. “We want to develop narrow but deep relationships with the best manufacturers in the business and we’re excited to count Benjamin Moore as the first of what we hope will be many such relationships.”
“In 2014, Angie’s List members spent an estimated $2 billion painting their homes with Angie’s List contractors,” said Ron Schuller, Chief Marketing Officer at Benjamin Moore. “As the preferred paint among professionals coupled with the growth and demand for painting services, this is the perfect opportunity to connect members to premium Benjamin Moore products and certified contractors.”
