Advertising Tips

1. Whenever possible, send a copy of your advertisement (i.e. radio script; ad for magazine, newspaper, yellow pages; van wrap; etc) in to Steven Fabrics PRIOR to running the ad. This will allow us to send your ad in for prior approval. Prior approval takes only one day and will allow you to make corrections as needed, saving you from a costly mistake.

2. Make sure your invoice & tear sheet are correctly labeled and the dates between the two documents coincide. This small detail is often overlooked and can cause a major delay when trying to replace an incorrect invoice or tear sheet.

3. Refer to your 2005 Advertising Program Policies and Dealer Advertising Guidelines throughout the development of the advertising process. These two guides can answer almost all of your questions concerning coop advertising. Following the rules set in these guides will decrease the time spent waiting for approval and credit for your ads. If you can’t find an answer within one of these two booklets- contact the Contract Steven Fabrics’ Coop Advertising representative.

4.Please allow 5 – 7 weeks for the processing of your coop advertising from submission to the mailing of your credit.

5. Log on to the Hunter Douglas Designers, Dealers and Installers (DDI) website for great ad ideas, pictures & the necessary logos to put together a great ad.
