TPMA Self-Teach Workbook on the Fundamentals of Promotional Allowance Program Administration

Now, for those who can’t attend a NAPAA seminar on the basics of program administration (a day training program conducted twice a year at a cost of $249 for TPMA members and $349 for nonmembers), NAPAA has published a self-teach manual, designed to provide a foundation of information to those who administer a company’s existing promotional allowance program.

This Workbook:

  • Identifies the purposes of promotional allowance programs, and their role in the overall marketing plan of a company
  • Shows the relationship of promotional allowance programs in the sales cycle, including the dealer’s, the sales representative’s and the media’s role
  • Presents “best practices” involved in processing claims, generating reports, and filing claims
  • Covers potential conflicts and provides possible solutions to real-world issues

Topics covered include:

  • Definition of terms
  • Objectives of programs from different viewpoints
  • Components to be included in a program
  • Proof of Performance guidelines
  • Media alternatives
  • Prior Approval process
  • Claims processing
  • Ad measurement
  • Lifecycle of Claims
  • Common reports
  • Unauthorized deduction management
  • Training those involved in program implementation
  • Conflict resolution
  • The laws that apply to promotional allowance programs

The Workbook is divided into 10 easy-to-read sections, with exercises at the end of each section, to test the reader’s understanding of the material.

It is available at a cost of $149.95 for TPMA members and $229.95 for non-members.
