What is co-op
advertising? Co-op advertising is
the art of combining funding resources to pay for advertising that an
individual budget could not afford.
Advertising is an important part of any business, and without
advertising a business will not become known or popular. As the co-op owner, you have the
responsibility to consult with co-op members and use the advertising fees in
appropriate ways for all members. Large
co-ops can be created with the right marketing and advertising. For instance, you may take out a magazine add
that advertises the websites of all members or other pertinent contact
information.
Benefits or co-op
advertising. There are two big
benefits of co-op advertising and they are spreading risk and happy
members. Co-op advertising allows you to
spread risk by doing advertising as a team so that no individual will be at the
mercy of one bad advertising campaign. You
lose your advertising input if your ad copy is bad and does not generate new
prospects. For example, if you spend $40
on a bad ad you individually suffer the loss on one bad ad. However, if you increase your advertising
budget with other co-op members, the risk is spread over several ads or one big
successful ad. Your upside potential
increases and you lower individual overall risk. You have several brains thinking and not just
one.
Platform to
advertise. You will need a platform
to advertise and to market your co-op advertising business. A website with a blog, press kit,contact
form, information page, and locked page are helpful. You need a website to build your clientele
and to explain in detail your advertising and marketing efforts. A blog will help you keep member’s up to date
on advertising and marketing efforts and can build your clientele through your
website contact page. You can be writing
blogs to website that has member’s links, articles to ezines, and writing
articles for press releases. A locked
page can be the page where paying member’s visit for feedback and to post new
ideas, and to collect the advertising cost.

startup cost, then co-op advertising is the business for you. This article introduced you to some beginning
