Targeting co-op brands based on prior year purchases!

2009-01-08T16:45:00.003-06:00

Targeting brands with good co-op programs is always key to finding co-op dollars! Even more important is targeting brands with co-op dollars available in the 1st quarter of the new year when purchases are slow to get started. The Co-op Queen's secret is targeting brands with accruals based on prior year purchases - so co-op dollars are available right NOW or as soon as the mfr can run the new numbers! You and your retailer can run a good guestimate -- Red Wing Shoes & Boots -- figure 2% of his prior year purchases! It's Easy! Now he's ready to run co-op ads in Rodeo/Sports sections!

Also target co-op plan expiration dates that are other than 12-31. Look at the plans now for example that expire 4-30, 5-31 and 6-30!

Rolling and quarterly plans are also great to target right now! These plans have on-going co-op available - plan an annual program with these brands!

It's SO important right now to help the small MOM-POP shops work their co-op and promote their business! If we don't - we'll have Walmart, Home Depot, and Kohl's and that's it!

One in four small businesses are predicted to fail this year. Let's target those business NOW - and help work their co-op for them!

Most brands will support online advertising if you just submit an advertising proposal along with the print program. The media just needs to be approved.

Good luck! Let's gear up for 2009!

Here's a Great Success Story I received today!

2008-03-19T13:26:00.002-05:00

Hi Janie,
I used your doors and windows list published in co-op queen blog and had great success. A new rep came to me to research Bertch Cabinets and we worked the program from start to finish.
We found $600 for a dealer who had no idea he had $$. VERY cool. He is using it to run in our H&G section next month. $600 may not seem like alot but we know it adds to our bottom line!
Thank you so much for sharing these tips on the blog. I use them alot. Another rep has asked
me to pull up a list of HOT brands for him!

God bless.
Karen C

Comment from Janie:
This is great news! I love to hear success stories like this! $600 is $600 to the new advertiser you just developed! That could mean $1200 in advertising or even more!

I love this co-op treasure hunt! It's a win-win-win for everybody! Keep these successes coming!
Good co-oping!
