CO-Op Advertising Program

ABC-IL members are invited to participate in a co-operative advertisement in local bridal specialty magazines.  The co-op advertising program is a benefit of membership to all current Consultant and Vendor level members.  Participation in this program provides the benefit of print media at an affordable rate which may otherwise be prohibitive to the member.  Typically there is the added benefit of listing the member’s information on the magazine’s website.  All programs differ slightly and costs vary by publication.  The Co-Op Advertising Program is handled locally.

Novice
members are not eligible to participate in the co-op advertising program.  However, if a novice member meets all the requirements to advance to the consultant level category of membership by the publication date of the magazine, the novice will be allowed to participate in the co-op advertising program.  All documentation must be submitted for approval to the national office in CT.
ABC
-IL currently participates in 3 local publications.  They are:

     *  Bride’s Chicago
     *  Chicago
Style Weddings
     *  Wedding Guide

For additional information or questions regarding this program, contact the Illinois State Coordinator.

Only consultant level members of ABC are eligible to participate on the Illinois Branch website.  Please contact the State Coordinator for additional details and costs or fill out the 'ABC Illinois Website Listing Form'.
