To this day, a lot of people only think of Automotive when they think of co-op advertising. There are so many brands in different verticals/categories that offer co-op funding for their reseller channel that you have a lot more opportunities for more customers than you think. In the first quarter of 2024, the Co-Op Connect Team researched a lot of requests for automotive brands such as Subaru, Stellantis, and Volkswagen. However, the most requests received were for the five brands below – not a single automotive brand!

Brand – Products/Services – High-Level Guidelines

Mohawk Industries – SmartStrand/Wear-Dated Fiber – SmartStrand and SmartStrand Silk, and UltraWood, along with other Mohawk brands
Dealers earn between 2% – 6% depending on their dealer level (Preferred, Select or Premier) as their accrual fund. Reimbursement is 50% with the exception of select digital products (SEM, SEO, and Social Media) which are reimbursed at 75%.

Whirlpool Corp. – Kitchen & Home Appliances
