Co-op Marketing

Techline Smart Office Success Story

Recently I was shopping for office furniture, and my journey led me to a local dealer. After I made my selection, the owner shared his concerns about the current business climate. He was convinced nothing could be done and that he lacked the resources for any marketing initiatives.

As a marketing consultant, I suggested he investigate whether co-op funding was available from his suppliers. A week later we meet with a factory representative and presented our marketing proposal. It was accepted, and...

The money was ours.

I've secured tens of thousands of co-op dollars for clients over the past few years. Just a short time ago, with my help, a client received $25,000.

I've learned most companies are willing to invest dollars effectively in order to generate sales. It never hurts to ask. Very often a good marketing plan is all it takes to get the money.

If you'd like my help to secure funding and increase sales, please contact me.
