Co-op made the difference It was like having my own private consulting firm — Bui | didn't have to pay them a cent. As a matter of fact, the North Shore News Co-op department found me extra funds that I didn’t even know were there. Timing was critical My business is ski sales and rentals, which is a seasonal business, so timing is critical. With the help of the NEWS Co-op Department we were able to organize my advertising campaign ahead of schedule. When my selling season began, | was ready. »-. LO make my winter advertising program @ great success. What the NEWS did for me -They prepared Co-op proposals for each manufacturer and made certain that all proposals were directed to the right person. We received immediate replies. -They prepared rough layouts to meet manufacturer's requirements and approval. -They took care of placement of all the ads. -They prepared and liaisoned all claiming paperwork to the manufacturers. Made my season Because the NEWS Co-op Department took care of all the legwork and paperwork — down to the last detail — ! had a great season. Thank you Ron.
