Today’s Tip: Co-op your marketing dollars – Avenue Magazine

Some industries have long used this practice to boost their advertising. Typically, a major supplier or manufacturer will pay part of your advertising costs in return for having their logo or brand displayed. If you have seen a tire ad you have likely seen this practice.

What if you don’t have a major supplier to offset your costs? There are likely still opportunities available to you. KS2 offer’s our own version of a co-op program – right now featuring Avenue magazine. This is an ideal solution for new and renewing clients whose demographic profile fits with that of Avenue Magazine.

The combo packages 3 elements:

- A complete Internet marketing package on YellowPages.ca™ and CalgaryPlus.ca
- A 2.5 inch wide x 4.5 inch high ad located on a full-page ad within the magazine (2 other companies will exist within the ad – non competing) value is $845
- Special offer for the KS2 Rewards program of $50 for shopping at the 3 locations specified in the ad (applicable for purchases made within a 1-month period at participating stores)
