Co-op Funds Expiring Soon

Your Microsoft Co-op Funds Are Expiring. Let’s Fix That.

Most Microsoft Partner Co-op funds need to have activity in market by 30 June. If you don’t have a compliant campaign live, that money disappears. We help you claim it before the deadline hits.

Microsoft Co-op funds are use-it-or-lose-it. No campaign in market means no claim, and no claim means the funds vanish at the end of the period.

Don’t let your marketing budget disappear
The Problem

You have Co-op funds available. You’re just not set up to claim them.

Most Microsoft Partners we speak to aren’t fully utilising their Co-op entitlements. Either they don’t know what’s available, they’re unsure of the compliance requirements, or they simply haven’t had time to get a campaign live before the deadline. The result? Funds expire. Money that could have covered your marketing costs goes back to Microsoft unclaimed. This isn’t a marketing problem. It’s a financial one.

Why This Works

A compliant campaign, built fast, so you can actually claim your funds

Is This For You?

Built for Microsoft Partners who’d rather claim their funds than lose them

This sprint is designed for Microsoft Partners, MSPs, and Solution Integrators who have Co-op funds available but don’t have the time, team, or expertise to get a compliant campaign live before the deadline.

  • You’re a Microsoft Partner with Co-op funds and no campaign in market to claim them
  • You’ve let funds expire before because the process was too complicated or you ran out of time
  • You want a campaign that actually generates leads, not just one that exists to tick a compliance box
  • You need it done properly and fast, because the claim window is closing
From Inception Marketing

“We built this offer because we kept seeing the same thing: Partners with perfectly good Co-op funds sitting unclaimed because they didn’t have a campaign ready. That’s not a marketing failure. That’s money walking out the door. We wanted to make it dead simple to fix.”

Kayla — Founder, Inception Marketing

Frequently Asked Questions

Co-op (Co-operative Marketing) funds are marketing dollars that Microsoft makes available to eligible Partners. They’re designed to help you run demand generation and marketing campaigns. The catch? They expire if you don’t use them within the claim period, and you need a compliant campaign in market to submit a claim.

That’s part of what we do. When you get in touch, we’ll help you check your Microsoft Partner Centre to identify any available Co-op entitlements, including their expiry dates. Many Partners are surprised by what’s sitting there unused.

We build a complete demand generation campaign that includes email sequences, a dedicated landing page, and social media assets. The campaign is designed to meet Microsoft’s compliance requirements while also driving real results for your business, not just ticking a box.

Typically 2 to 4 weeks from kickoff to a launch-ready campaign. We move quickly because Co-op deadlines don’t wait. The exact timeline depends on your claim window and how quickly we can access your Partner Centre details.

In most cases, yes. The Co-op funds you claim back from Microsoft can cover a significant portion, if not all, of the campaign cost. You’re essentially using Microsoft’s marketing budget to fund your own demand generation. The alternative is letting that money expire.

Absolutely. Many Partners find that once they’ve seen the results of a properly executed campaign, they want to keep the momentum going. We offer ongoing campaign management and marketing retainers specifically for Microsoft Partners and tech companies.

Yes. Co-op funds are available across different partner tiers and programme types. Even if you’re not sure whether you’re eligible, it’s worth checking. We’ve helped partners of all sizes uncover funds they didn’t know they had.

Your Co-op funds expire whether you use them or not. Let’s make sure you use them.

We’re only taking on a handful of these sprints each month because they’re hands-on. Get in touch now to check what’s available before your claim window closes.
