Co-op Funds and SAMS

    ● It is possible to recapture 100% of your catalog budget through co-op funds and vendor advertising.
    ● One complete invoice from SAMS captures the entire catalog expenditure providing proof to each of your vendors.
    ● SAMS provides backup detail based upon our customers' preferred format.

Can my catalog qualify for vendor co-op programs?

Many vendors offer co-op marketing programs to support their distributor's local marketing efforts. Manufacturers base their reimbursement levels on the amount of products purchased within a sales territory. The typical manufacturer reimburses 2-3% of sales of their products. When your catalog project is complete, SAMS provides a final statement, as well as a template, which you can use to assist in collecting co-op program funds.

Are there other ways to offset my catalog cost?

In addition to manufacturer co-op programs, vendors purchase advertising space in their distributors' catalogs. SAMS helps organize the inclusion of advertising inserts, section openers, back or inside covers and more!
