Overview
How the program works
You run your own advertising in your market. Once a campaign is approved and running, it earns you co-op credit worth 3% of your Apollo sales over the year that follows, up to 50% of what you spent on that campaign. You keep control of your own website, phone, and leads.
Every campaign begins with pre-approval, and credit is earned as you sell. That means you spend and submit proof first, and then we add credit to your account as your sales come in. When you submit photos and video with a campaign, that campaign earns at a higher rate, so documenting your work pays off every time.
- 1
Get pre-approval
Before you spend, send your planned creative, channels, target area, dates, and budget using the pre-approval form. We confirm in writing before you run it. No pre-approval, no credit.
- 2
Run your approved ads
Use approved assets from the dealer portal, or build your own from the supplied clips and flyout graphics. Keep Apollo featured and the creative as approved.
- 3
Submit your claim
After the campaign runs, send the credit claim with your proof of spend and proof the ad ran. We verify it, then credit 3 to 5% of your Apollo sales over the following year, up to 50% of your spend.
The details
Program terms
- How credit is earned
- An approved campaign earns you 3% of your Apollo sales over the year that follows it. The rate is 4% if you submit photos with the campaign and 5% if you submit photos and video.
- The cap
- A campaign never pays more than 50% of what you spent on it. That is the most any single campaign can return, no matter how much you sell.
- Photo and video credit
- Submit photos with a campaign and it earns 4%. Add video as well and it earns the full 5%. Both photos and video are needed to reach 5%, and the rate applies to the campaign you submit the footage with.
- Earned after the campaign
- You spend and submit proof first, then we add the credit to your account. No credit in advance.
- Qualifying spend
- Paid advertising that features Apollo systems and uses approved creative, including Google Ads, Meta (Facebook and Instagram), and print placements such as magazines.
- Website requirement
- Your website must feature Apollo louvered pergolas as one of your services, presented in line with our website integration guide.
How credit works
You run $2,500 in approved Meta ads. You provide photos and videos of your most recent jobs. Over the following year you sell $50,000 in Apollo systems, which at 5% is $2,500. The campaign doesn't go over the 50% cap so you receieve the full credit on your spend which is applied to your next Apollo order.
Run the numbers
Co-op credit calculator
Estimate what a campaign earns before you submit it. A campaign earns a share of your Apollo sales in the year that follows, your rate rises when you submit footage with it, and your ad spend sets the ceiling. This is a planning estimate and is confirmed by Apollo at claim time.
Ad co-op credit
A campaign earns 3 to 5% of your Apollo sales in the year after it runs, capped at 50% of its ad spend.

Video only adds to the rate when photos are submitted too, so 5% needs both. The rate applies to this campaign.
Getting your credit
Verification required to earn credit
- Verification of spend. The platform invoice from Google or Meta, or the publication invoice or insertion order for print, showing the amount actually charged. A reporting screenshot alone is not enough.
- Verification the approved ad ran. For digital, a screenshot of the live ad or a preview link. For print, a tearsheet of the printed page or the publisher's proof of publication.
- Completed claim form. Amount spent, dates, and where the ad ran, attached to the items above.
Higher-trust alternative for digital: in place of invoices and screenshots, you may grant read-only access to your Google Ads or Meta account by sharing it with apolloopeningroofmarketing@gmail.com, and we verify spend directly at the source.
Getting your credit
Proof required to earn credit
Marketing assets we provide
Photos, video clips, and logos in the dealer portal and via Google Drive, along with our website integration guide, a how-to document, and ready-made square videos for social ads.
Social collaboration
When you post Apollo content on Instagram or Facebook, add Apollo as a collaborator (co-author) on the post. Once we accept, it runs on both your grid and ours, so your work reaches our followers as well as yours. Your account must be public for this to work.
Territory coordination
Apollo also runs geo-targeted campaigns in dealer regions. To avoid bidding against each other on the same search terms, share your target area and keywords during pre-approval so we can coordinate.
Meta ads
Facebook and InstagramThese are grouped by the kind of business you run, so the hook matches your work while Apollo stays as one of the featured services. Use these options as a jumping off point.

Lift your rate
Earn up to 5% with footage
Great footage of installed systems is one of the most valuable things you can share with us, and it is often hard to come by. Submitting it raises the rate your co-op fund accrues at. Photos of a completed job add 1% and video adds another 1%, to a maximum of 5%. Because footage comes from a job that is already built, the higher rate applies to your next order. Footage is subject to our approval and current needs.
Base rate
Every approved order accrues at 3% before any footage. This is also what a first order earns, since there is no completed job to film yet.
Add photos
Send clear photos of the finished install and your next order accrues at 4%. Best from the clean side of the louvers, in a finished space.
Add video too
Add photos and clips of the system opening and closing, ideally with a homeowner testimonial, and your next order accrues at the full 5%.
What we need to see
- The clean side of the louvers, with a full open-and-close cycle for video
- Video clips of roughly 20 to 30 seconds, so we have room to edit down to the 15 to 30 second range that performs best on Meta
- Vertical (9:16) or 4:5 framing where possible, 1080p or higher, in focus, stable, and well lit
- Finished outdoor spaces that look ready to enjoy
What to avoid
- Construction gear in the shot: no ladders, tools, materials, or packaging
- Incomplete or unfinished yards and landscaping
- Competitor branding, logos, or signage
- Audio containing names, addresses, or other identifying details
Footage terms
- License to Apollo. You grant Apollo a perpetual, royalty-free, non-exclusive right to use, edit, reproduce, and share the footage for marketing purposes, including with other Apollo dealers and in paid advertising, with no fee and no time limit.
- Right to grant it. You confirm you have the right to provide the footage, including written permission from the property owner shown in it. We may ask you to provide a signed homeowner media release before the footage is used.
- Crediting. Footage is used under the Apollo brand and is not tied to your business in the ads of other dealers.

Questions
Co-op program FAQ
How much credit do I earn?
We add credit equal to 50% of qualifying ad spend to your Apollo account, up to your rolling co-op fund. To use your full fund in credit, you spend twice the fund amount, since we match half.
How is my co-op fund calculated?
Your fund builds at 3% of your Apollo purchases over the last 365 days, measured from the date your ad is approved. It is a rolling window rather than a calendar year, so the fund moves with your most recent twelve months of orders. There is no separate startup fund for new dealers. You earn the same 3% from your first order onward, and approved ad spend from before that first order still qualifies once the order lands.
Can I earn more than 3%?
Yes. Send photos of a completed job and your accrual rises by 1%. Add video and it rises another 1%, to a maximum of 5%. Because footage comes from a job that is already built, the lift applies to your next order, not the one the footage came from.
What advertising qualifies?
Paid advertising that features Apollo systems and uses approved creative, including Google Ads, Meta (Facebook and Instagram), and print placements such as magazines.
How do I earn and use my credit?
Get pre-approval before you spend, run your approved ads, then submit the credit claim with your proof of spend and proof the ad ran. Credit is earned after the campaign, which means you spend and prove first, then we add it to your Apollo account toward your next project. It is not a cash payment.
What footage should I send?
Photos of the finished install and a clip of the system opening and closing work best, ideally with a short homeowner testimonial. Submitting footage raises your accrual rate rather than paying a flat fee, so photos add 1% and video adds another 1%, up to 5% on your next order. See the footage section for the full quality guide.
