Although a majority of paint customers are making purchases in-store, according to the J.D. Power 2019 U.S. Paint Satisfaction Study, Generation Y and Z customers are more likely to make their paint purchases online than boomers or pre-boomers and satisfaction among those who purchase online is higher than those who went in-store for purchases.
“Paint brands are challenged by the need to provide consultative experiences for in-store customers while catering to the technologically reliant younger generations who want to buy paint online,” said Christina Cooley, director of the At-Home Practice at J.D. Power. “Channeling more resources into their websites—while maintaining current in-store experiences—will only help paint brands in the long run.”

BEHR and Sherwin-Williams rank highest in a tie in the interior paint segment with a score of 852. Valspar ranks third with 851.
