Dallas, TX – February 23, 2017 – Dal-Tile (parent company of Daltile, Marazzi, and American Olean brands) is officially launching its own “Why Tile” campaign on National Tile Day 2018. The campaign is designed to complement the Tile Council of North America’s ongoing Why Tile campaign that promotes the use of tile. The foundational messaging of the Dal-Tile campaign is presented via a
“four Ts” message.

“Communicating the reasons why tile is an excellent flooring choice and how tile stacks up against other flooring categories is an important 2018 goal for our brands,” said April Wilson, director of brand marketing for Dal-Tile. “Along the lines of ‘the four Cs to look for when purchasing a diamond’, we have created ‘the four Ts’ of tile to help in-store sales reps and consumers clearly understand why tile is such a smart choice for flooring.”

“We will feature this messaging in our brands’ POP merchandising, digital endeavors, sales training, and advertising,” said Wilson. “We want our distributors and retailers to feel equipped to engage in conversations with their customers about the benefits of tile. During the life of our new campaign, we will educate on why tile ‘Sets the Standard’ for flooring.”

The attributes of tile as presented by Daltile, Marazzi, and American Olean’s campaign are:

Tough — Tile is Tough. Tile is innately durable and resists decades of heavy traffic. It is stainproof, scratchproof, waterproof, and fire resistant.
