Installer Assistance
A lack of installers is the single biggest obstacle to a dealer’s ability to grow their business. That’s why we created Career Connect, the only online employment marketplace dedicated to the industry. Think of ZipRecruiter or Indeed where the only employee candidates are those with film installation experience. The charge for a dealer to post an open job to Career Connect is minimal and all proceeds go toward a worthy charitable industry foundation – Tinters for a Cause.
Sales Support
We know that your success is our success and we’re here to support you every step of the way. Not only will you have access to an EPD outside sales representative, but we also offer online training modules, ongoing webinars, and annual dealer conferences to further your knowledge of the industry.

Marketing your business to consumers and end-users is of the utmost importance to us. That’s why we help you.
First, 3M makes available co-op money to its qualifying dealers to help absorb the cost of marketing.
Second, 3M makes available digital assets such as product images, logos, installation photos, videos, and much more.
Third, we can partner you with our digital marketing company to create and manage your online presence. Xponent21 can get your business online quickly offering web design, content creation, SEO, SEM, social media management, and paid advertising.
Finally, if you meet the requirements, 3M and EPD will list you on their dealer locators to make it easier for an end-user to find you.
