The end of February is the beginning of all the Spring Home and Garden Shows across the country. There are plenty of brand-name products at these shows that offer co-op funding. Your advertisers can use the funds for participation in these shows or can use the funds to promote their presence at the shows (via newspaper, direct mail, online display banners, social media, and more).

If your advertisers sell items such as lawnmowers, patio furniture, BBQ grills, outdoor lighting, outdoor furniture, pool chemicals, spas, and fertilizers (and much more!), this is a perfect time to advertise these brands.

Here are just a few of the upcoming events:
