How the partner marketing fund works
Dollar for dollar reimbursement for approved marketing
It’s best to apply for funding and gain pre-approval for your upcoming marketing spend on activities or events.
- Gold and platinum partners can claim up to $5,000 in a financial year for funding
- We’ll cover up to 50% of the cost of approved marketing activities up to the $5,000 limit
- Your marketing fund entitlement refreshes for every new financial year
- If you’ve got queries or need help, please check in with your Xero account manager
Using partner marketing funds
You can use the funds to attract new clients or raise awareness of Xero among your existing clients.
- Examples of what can be funded include the costs of advertising, editorial and Xero collateral; travel and accommodation are excluded
