In the industrial world, print still matters. It shows up at the counter. It rides along in trucks. It gets passed across desks and referenced on job sites. And when it’s done right, it drives real buying decisions.
At Rivet|MRO, we create strategic print marketing solutions for industrial, electrical, safety, plumbing, HVAC, and building supply distributors that earn their place in the field. From sell sheets and product catalogs to line cards, sample box inserts, buck slips, signage, direct mail, and trade show collateral, we design print materials that are built to spark conversations, support promotions, and move inventory.
Not just look good. Perform.
We’re not a generalist agency trying to “figure out” industrial marketing. This is our lane.
We understand how contractors, purchasing managers, plant managers, and counter sales teams actually use printed materials in the field. That insight shapes every piece we create.
Our approach to industrial print marketing and distributor marketing campaigns prioritizes:
And just as important — we know how to balance brands.
Your materials should feel like your distributor brand while still honoring supplier brand standards and product guidelines. We design print collateral that reflects your identity — your colors, your voice, your positioning. The result? Marketing that strengthens your brand equity without jeopardizing co-op eligibility.
Peerless sales team credits the materials for helping create more than ten new conquest accounts! In the first year alone, those co-op marketing funds generated a 7:5:1 ROI!
If you’re investing co-op dollars, you should expect measurable return.
Rivet|MRO has proven success helping distributors maximize supplier co-op advertising funds to increase campaign reach and improve ROI. We don’t just design the piece — we manage the process from concept to reimbursement.
We help distributors:
Our team ensures your co-op eligible print marketing materials are compliant, strategic, and optimized for reimbursement — while still delivering strong creative and clear messaging. That means fewer headaches for your team and more value from your marketing budget.
Our case studies and project portfolio highlight successful print and integrated marketing campaigns across the industrial supply chain — from counter days and product launches to seasonal promotions and multi-location distributor programs.
By tapping overlooked co-op dollars, Rivet|MRO refreshed Peerless Supply’s print materials into a high-impact sales toolkit that boosted brand awareness and helped the sales team close new accounts—delivering a striking 7.5:1 return on investment.
The best print pieces don’t sit in a drawer. They get used.
We take time to understand your unique sales team structure, internal dynamics, branch footprint, and go-to-market strategy. Inside sales vs. outside sales. Counter-driven vs. territory-driven. Centralized marketing vs. branch autonomy. Those details matter.
That’s why our solutions are never templated.
Every piece is designed to:
By combining strategic messaging, strong visual hierarchy, and deep industrial marketing experience, Rivet|MRO delivers high-performance print marketing for distributors and manufacturers that drives awareness, increases program participation, and supports long-term growth.
