Your advertisers either accrued their co-op money based on their purchases last year or have had a few months this year to accrue funds in 2024. This is a great time to start thinking about promoting “all things spring.” I don’t know about you, but I am tired of being cold! Add in a couple of 50 to 60-degree days to tease us, and then it is right back to freezing temperatures. We will have both the time change (giving us some more evening daylight…Yay!) and the start of spring this month, so we should consider our upcoming flower beds and vegetable gardens. If you are sick of the same old flower beds and growing the same old vegetables, there are plenty of Spring Home & Garden shows to inspire you.

Here are just a few of the upcoming shows:

  • Home & Garden Show April 5 – 7, 2024 Novi, MI
  • Windsor Home & Garden Show April 5, 2024 Windsor, ON
  • Spring Home & Outdoor Living Expo April 19 – 21, 2024 Tulsa, OK
  • Provo Spring Show April 19 – 20, 2024 Provo, UT

Below are just a few brands that offer co-op funding for those brands that everyone needs to get “Spring Ready.” Hopefully, you have clients selling some of these brands and can utilize their available co-op funds:
