Our turnkey campaigns and digital/traditional marketing support take the guesswork out of co-op marketing, so you can focus on running your business.
Think of us as your built-in marketing team—helping you stretch every dollar, attract more customers, and grow your business.
Co-op marketing is a simple, cost-sharing program where manufacturers provide funds—known as co-op dollars or MDF—to help distributors promote their products. You earn these funds based on your purchases, and they can be used for digital ads, trade show materials, sales collateral, promo items, and more.
The problem? Many independent distributors leave this money on the table because they lack the time or resources to manage it effectively.
That’s where Rivet|MRO comes in. We find the funds, build compliant campaigns, and handle all the paperwork—so you can focus on selling and growing your business.
