  • Digital/Internet Advertising – Digital marketing expenses will not be eligible for co-op reimbursement unless the services are provided through PACE or True Radius Marketing.

Manufacturers typically do not allow co-op reimbursement for these internet services performed through other advertising entities due to lack of content control. True Radius Marketing has negotiated with our manufacture partners and assured them that policy is in place to ensure co-op funds are spent accordingly and in support of the brand they are funded by.
