We can research this for you. We just need a little bit of information about you top-selling brands on our co-op discovery form and authorization to get started. With your cooperation we can research just how much has been set aside for your use.
What if I don’t like the ads I have to run to get reimbursed?
Many manufacturers allow you to alter their pre-approved ads to fit your needs, or we can build an ad around several different required elements. Also, by inserting co-op funded ads into your regular scheduled ad campaign, you are establishing more name recognition and increasing ad frequency, getting more bang for your buck. You still have complete control over your regular ad campaign.
How do I get reimbursed?
Our co-op department is there to help by making sure your ad schedule complies with program guidelines. We will also obtain approval for your ad in advance, and will provide you with an addressed claim packet. You mail the completed claim packet to the manufacturer or distributor for reimbursement.
How long does it take to get reimbursed?
Claim processing time varies for every manufacturer, but we can help minimize the turnaround time by providing you with a memo bill and a claim packet immediately, so you don’t have to wait for your regular statement to submit your claim for reimbursement.
Why do you need to have my customer numbers?
Please know that all information you provide to our co-op department is strictly confidential. The reason we ask for your customer numbers is so when we contact your manufacturer or distributor they have the best possible way to correctly identify your account information.
