Co-op & Compliance Services.
In the automotive industry, maintaining compliance with regulatory standards and maximizing the benefits of co-op advertising programs are crucial for dealership success. Dealer advertising plays a critical role in attracting consumers to purchase new vehicles and building a successful fixed operations business. The more consistent and brand-complementary a dealership’s advertising is, the more powerful and effective it will be. This is why most manufacturers require advertisements to be pre-approved and compliant before it is posted. The submission process for both compliance and co-op programs involves careful adherence to specific guidelines and requirements set forth by governing bodies and manufacturers. Below, we outline the essential steps involved in our process.
Submission Protocol.
First, we gather all necessary documentation that supports compliance, such as advertising copies, disclaimers, service agreements, and data handling policies. These documents are used for the manufacturer’s pre-approval process, noting whether the advertisement is accurate and meets all brand requirements. Once our creative is approved and the advertisement is posted, these are later submitted as claims through Co-op programs. Submitting claims for co-op reimbursement through the manufacturer’s designated systems typically includes uploading proof of advertisement (such as invoices and media placements) and a copy of the approved advertisement.
Feedback Loop.
Post-submission, the documents are reviewed for adherence to compliance standards. For co-op, the manufacturer may approve the reimbursement, request additional information, or deny the claim if it does not meet the guidelines. At Pinckney Harmon, we keep detailed records to facilitate reconciliation and future audits.
Revisions & Adaptations.
Feedback or requests for additional information may follow if discrepancies are found. We monitor the status of the submissions and publish them pending approval.
Documentation & Records.
Navigating the submission processes for automotive compliance and co-op advertising requires careful planning, meticulous record-keeping, and a deep understanding of the relevant guidelines. By trusting Pinckney Harmon to follow these critical steps, dealerships can ensure they remain compliant while maximizing their marketing budgets through co-op advertising programs.
