Education Market Leverage Leverage Plaid's presence in education and youth arts through schools, libraries, and educator networks. Pitch bundled classroom kits that combine Mod Podge, FolkArt, and Delta Ceramcoat with new EttaVee sets, targeting procurement officers and teachers, highlighting USA-made quality and reliable lead times to win school and district orders.

New Product Expansion Capitalize on the December 2025 EttaVee launches by accelerating wholesale and retailer partnerships for the new paint sets and art accessories. Propose co-branded kits for classrooms, camps, and studios, and cross-sell with Arteza and Martha Stewart lines to deepen category penetration.

Ecommerce Capabilities Utilize the robust e-commerce stack (Magento, S3, Cloudflare) to scale direct-to-consumer and wholesale channels. Develop targeted digital campaigns and account-based programs focused on DIYers, teachers, and craft retailers; explore marketplace partnerships and private-label opportunities to expand reach.

Cross Brand Synergy With a diversified portfolio across Mod Podge, Arteza, FolkArt, Martha Stewart, and more, position Plaid as a one-stop supplier for retailers and institutions. Build a consolidated wholesale program that simplifies purchasing for buyers and enables cross-sell across brands and product families.
