and you
don’t spend
another
penny.”

A Il you do is use the money

you have for Ca-Op Advertising.

Co-Op for those of you not
familiar with the term, is short for
Co-Operative Advertising. This is
advertising paid for jointly by the
manufacturer and the retailer.

Over 500 manufacturers current-
ly offer Co-Op programs which pay
50% or more of your advertising
costs.

You may not realize it but there
could be advertising money available
now to your business because you're
stocking and selling certain merchan-
dise. Co-Op advertising dollars come
right from the supplier to you.

It's that simple.

Call me, or your sales represen-
tative, to find out more about in-
creasing your advertising budget ~
without spending any more money.

It won't cost you anything to
find out about Co-Op.
