2020 Pricing
Over the last ten years, our price increases have averaged 1% or less. For 2020, pretty much all we've done is round out most of our list prices to even dollar amounts. Taken together, all of our price increases for 2020 average out to 0.25%. Our 2020 pricing will apply to all orders placed on or after January 1, 2020.
You can download our 2020 Pricelist from our Retailer Portal on our website. No username or password is needed. While you're there, check-out all the terrific images, Retail Staff Sales Training, printable rack signs, and other resources we've added to support your marketing efforts and your staffs.
Gamblin MAP Policy
We would not be where we are today without the support of independent retailers. We strongly believe that healthy brick and mortar art supply retailers are critical to the growth of the arts and creativity.
More important than the details below, know that we enforce our MAP Policy with these things in mind. There are no changes to our MAP Policy for this year, but we encourage you to review it. Under our MAP Policy, there are six months when our painting materials may be advertised at discounts up to 40% off list:
Fall Back-to-School: August and September
Winter Back-to-School: January and February
Spring Sale: April and May
The rest of the year, the Minimum Advertised Price on Gamblin painting materials is 25% off list. Gamblin printmaking materials have a Minimum Advertised Price of 15% off list, year-round. Gift sets may be promoted up to 40% off list during the promotional periods above and also during the months of October, November and December.
We are independent, family-owned and we take the long view. Thank you so much for your longstanding support of Gamblin. We wish you and your families a very happy Thanksgiving.
