Advertising

The Exchange has the expectation of supplier support for all advertising it performs in its media channels to promote and sell suppliers’ products. As such, advertising costs associated with the promotion of a suppliers products will be billed to that supplier via claims with terms of Net 30 days. After that period if the obligation is not met, the claim will be deducted from the next processed payment.

If there are existing advertising accrual programs, the costs associated with the advertising will be debited to those accrual programs. Advertising rates for The Exchange media are contained in our rate card which is available by request to the Trade Promotion Management group.

Direct advertising inquiries or requests for the rate card to:
