7 Academic View Co-op, MDF What s the Difference? Co-op MDF Co-op programs are arrangements in which a manufacturer shares the cost of advertising with its resellers for featuring their brand of products. Both the manufacturer and the reseller get more advertising per dollar by sharing expenses. Co-op funds are accrued as a percentage of sales and offered to all eligible resellers. MARKETING EXPENSE Discretionary funds provided by manufacturers to their resellers that are offered to meet specific marketing objectives. MDF is generally negotiated by a company's sales force with their resellers to meet competitive offers, respond to other "vendor programs," or to target funds to a specific geographical area or product emphasis. Often require less complete proof of performance documentation than traditional co-op programs. CONTRA-REVENUE 7
8 What s Going On? Most vendors are funding MDF programs but are not reaping the benefits because a majority of the funds go unused. VARBusiness, % of Five Star caliber vendors offer MDF to partners. CMP Media Institute 25% of Vendor s MDF program dollars go unclaimed annually. AMR Research, 2001 Over $750 Billion is budgeted annually on trade promotions in the U.S. alone. $187 Billion left on the table!

10 Trends Impacting Programs Shift to investing in channels Return to channels Compliance Measurement Benchmarks Maintain and extend channel partner relationships The product does not get to the enduser without the channel Leverage trade promotions budgets to achieve corporate objectives Understanding, targeting, and growing vertical markets Co-marketing effectiveness A move from traditional print and directmail methods to more effective comarketing efforts with vendors Channel influence on sales Direct interaction with end-users.
11 Trends Impacting Programs Shift to investing in channels Return to channels Compliance Measurement Address Federal Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Rules and Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance: Marketing expenses vs. contra revenue Verifiable internal controls Identification and classification of ALL expenditures Real time, proper accounting of all MDF/co-op payments Benchmarks
12 What Are the Issues? How did the likes of Enron and WorldCom change our world in channels? Enron and WorldCom misreported earnings to shareholders and engaged in purposeful and fraudulent activities to cover up their true financial conditions. Ahold claimed $880M in allowances they hadn t earned (mostly volume rebates). Many companies reported most trade allowances as marketing expenses. Moving to contra-revenue can cause significant sales decreases.
13 Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) Key SOX Requirements: Sec 302 establish and maintain disclosure controls, and evaluate those controls and procedures within 90 days of filing. Sec 404 perform an annual assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting. Evaluate internal controls over financial reporting quarterly. Sec 409 Disclose to public on a rapid and current basis information concerning material changes to financial condition or results of operations. Sec 906 The period report containing financial information complies with the Exchange Act and fairly presents financial conditions and results of operations. Overall Control Objectives All reporting is accurate and free of material omission All matters that should be considered for disclosure are communicated to corporate executives in a complete and timely fashion. All transactions are captured, recorded, summarized and reported in accordance with GAAP and SEC rules. Assets are compared to accounting records.
14 Expense vs. Contra-revenue FASB Rule 01-9: Classification of Marketing Expenses (must meet all 4 tests): 1. The payment covers a service by the partner that offers a clear benefit to you; 2. The benefit is clearly separable from the sale of the product; 3. The benefit could be purchased by you from a source other than the partner; 4. You have obtained proof of performance to reasonably estimate true costs. Marketing Expenses Advertising (print/web) Broadcast (television/radio) Catalogs Direct mail/ enewsletters Seminars & Webinars Telemarketing Trade Shows Contra-Revenue Certification Training Demo equipment Sales incentives Funded Headcount Recruitment
15 Contra-revenue vs. Expense Contra Revenue vs. Expense Model Examples Example 1) Allowance granted: No POP req d 2) Reasonable claim: POP req d & submitted 3) Reasonable claim: POP req d but not submitted 4) Claim for $10K is reasonable 5) Claim for $10K is 2 times market value, but is still approved Contra Revenue Marketing Expense Re-classify Yes, from expense $5K $5K Yes
