The Value of Featuring Your Products the Highlights Plus Publication

Please, understand that your CO-OP funds help to pay for the production of our 128 page publication.  This gives you broad exposure to our customers and to
OUR CUSTOMER’S CUSTOMERS. 

  • Multiple customized versions of the Highlights Plus bear the unique brand identity of our larger customers
  • A total circulation of around 34,750+ copies per quarterly edition 
  • On-line versions of the publication are targeted on major buying groups and organizations

Definition:  Catalog Product Selection
Products are selected for publication in the Highlights Plus based upon availability.  Products that are In-Stock in our warehouse and products that are easily drop shipped are given high priority.  We feature Products that we can easily provide to our customers.

Definition:  Vendor Pre-Approval of Pages
Sorry, the Highlights Plus features products from over 300 Manufacturers.  We CAN NOT submit pages for pre-approval.  Products are selected based upon what we have to sell not based upon what you want to feature (See above).

Definition: “Display Space”
Please understand that we are creating a catalog publication. The product spaces in this publication are not “Ads” like advertisements in a newspaper or a magazine where the customer can submit the actual layout, artwork and design.  We are providing “Display Space” for your products in a catalog publication. The design and layout of this space is created to produce consistency and ease of use.

Co-Op Display Space is invoiced at a rate of
$5 per square inch

Definition:  Feature Page
The Highlights Plus and Highlighs publications offer another kind of page space.  This is when a product is placed on a feature page.  Front Page, Back Page and New and Special Products pages (Usually Pages 2-5) are all feature pages and the cost per square inch is slightly higher.

Co-Op Featured Display Space is invoiced at a rate of
$6.60 per square inch.

Definition:  Highlights Plus
The Highlights Plus is our quarterly publication.  It is released at the beginning of each quarter (January 1, April 1, July 1 & October 1).  This 128 page publication features the top-selling items from all of our active lines.
