When most people think of co-op advertising funds they think of New Automobiles. It is no secret that co-op funding for General Motors (think Cadillac, Chevy, GMC, etc.), Ford, Stellantis (Dodge, RAM Trucks, Fiat, etc.), KIA, Hyundai, and many other automotive brands gets the most attention (and the most co-op funds earned and spent)! Automotive Parts & Services has numerous opportunities for co-op, yet it’s the New Cars that get all the “shine” (pun intended!). Let’s look at some of the other categories that offer co-op funding. I am sure you will find at least a few of your advertisers carry products in these areas.
- Motorcycles, ATV’s
- Jewelry
- Boats and Personal Watercraft
- Medical Supplies
- Windows & Doors Carpet, Tile, Hardwood Flooring
- Tires
- Kitchen & Bath Cabinets
- Firearms and Hunting Supplies
- Power Tools
- Tractors, Tillers, Harvesters
- Mattresses
As you can see by the short list above, the categories are very diverse and so are the brands that offer co-op funding to their reseller network. Let’s look at just a few of the brands that are in Localogy’s Co>Op Connect database that appear under a couple of these categories:
- Andersen Corporation – Windows and Doors
