January, February, and early March are the times of year for all the auto, home improvement, and boat shows. For this article, we are going to focus on upcoming Boat Shows. 21 states are holding major boat shows in this time period. As you can imagine, you will see boat shows in Florida, California, Maine, Texas, and all the states on the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and Gulf of Mexico. You will also see some shows in states like Kansas, North Dakota, and Oklahoma, as they have a lot of inland lakes with fantastic fishing.
Not only can you help your client advertise in advance of the show that they will be there (and promote their booth or location at the show), but you can also help your client use co-op funding for the show itself. The great majority of brands do provide co-op funding for Trade Shows!
Below are just a few of the boating-related brands that offer co-op funding for their reseller network. Hopefully, you have clients selling some of these brands:
