Vendor Marketing Development Funds Campaign

A successful vendors Market Development Funds (MDF) campaign can generate enough funds for you to run your total marketing campaign from funds provided by your vendors. When conducted by Davis Consulting, these annual MDF campaigns often raise 1% to 2% of your company's total purchases to support your aggressive marketing efforts.

Aggressive marketing is an important part of running a business, but constantly running costly marketing campaigns can strain your budget. Many building material vendors have discretionary market development funds (MDF), but few building material dealers are even aware of these funds. A successful MDF campaign coordinated by Davis Consulting gives you the ability to remain aggressive and expand market share while your competitors are pulling back on thier marketing efforts.

Jon Davis has been very successful in developing and implementing MDF campaigns for a number of clients. Davis Consulting will work closely with your senior management team to plan and launch your MDF campaign, negotiate with your vendors and develop the marketing campaign to effectively spend the funds.

Forward thinking vendors need to establish key partnerships with selected building material suppliers with an effective marketing strategy. If you are a strong competitor in the markets you serve and are focused on increasing market share, vendors will support your MDF campaign.
