Targeting co-op brands based on prior year purchases!

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.
