Co-Op Advertising Platforms
Manage regional co-op advertising funds with automated contributions, geo-targeted campaign coordination, and transparent reporting that shows every participating franchisee their return on investment.
Co-Op Funds Are Difficult to Coordinate
Regional co-op advertising requires collecting funds from multiple franchisees, coordinating campaigns across territories, and reporting results back to each participant. Without a dedicated platform, co-op programs create more administrative overhead than marketing impact.
Co-Op Challenges
- ✕ Manual contribution collection and tracking
- ✕ Campaign geo-targeting overlaps between locations
- ✕ No per-franchisee ROI reporting for shared campaigns
- ✕ Difficult to coordinate messaging across regions
- ✕ Compliance documentation created manually

Frequently Asked Questions
How do co-op advertising groups work?
Co-op groups are defined by geography (DMA, state, custom region). Franchisees in each group contribute to a shared advertising fund. The platform manages contributions, coordinates campaigns, and reports results back to each group.
Can we run both BDF and co-op programs simultaneously?
Yes. The platform handles BDF (corporate-level) and co-op (regional-level) funds independently or as integrated programs. Each has its own contribution structure, allocation rules, and reporting.
How are co-op campaigns managed?
Corporate or regional managers build campaigns through the platform. The system automatically geo-targets ads to participating locations' territories, manages budgets, and reports performance back to the group.
What if a franchisee is in multiple co-op groups?
The platform supports multi-group membership. A franchisee can participate in a state-level co-op, a DMA-level co-op, and national BDF programs simultaneously with separate contribution tracking for each.
How do franchisees see their co-op ROI?
Each franchisee sees their individual contribution amount, the total group fund, campaign performance metrics, and their share of results through the franchisee portal.
