COOP RULES 2019
CO-OP PROCESS
•The eligible retailer must send Saint Hilaire a request with the project details (media, size, cost, target…).
•To accept the request, Saint Hilaire will study the pertinence of the ad and the credit status of the retailer. Please confirm your eligibility directly with your representative or with Julie Lévesque.
•We must approve the final version of the project before it goes to print, or we will not be able to do the credit, even if we accepted the request before. Once the layout is approved by Saint Hilaire, we will not accept any modifications.
•We need at least one week to validate a final version. If we do not have this lead time, we cannot guarantee anything.
•On receipt of the invoice and ad copy, Christiane will credit the account.
