We have something similiar to what you are talking about Grumpy with the Manufacture advertising. We get a percentage of our costs picked up for yellow pages, logos on our vans/uniforms/invoices, a certain number of free radio/tv spots and a discount on running them at other times than the block they purchase. It all depends on how far you are willing to promote and use that manufactures products. I would talk to your local dealer rep. or if you are looking at a certain manufacture, find out who the local rep is and express interest in promoting your business and their products. Be aware that some companys will want you to use their products solely and not sell another competitors products.
