3. Billboards
For high‑visibility marketing, consider customizing a billboard through Cenex Shop. Co‑branding your cooperative logo with the Cenex brand elevates your professional image and helps your message stand out.
Choose a high‑traffic location, such as a busy highway or main road, to maximize impressions and increase brand awareness across your service area.
4. Rolling stock
Some of the most effective marketing methods are the kind that never stop moving. Brand your fleet using pre‑approved Cenex artwork available on Cenex Hub. Rolling stock not only increases visibility but also reinforces your brand every mile your team drives. This makes it simple and seamless to create a consistent, professional look.
Check out the Rolling stock and bulk storage graphics page on Cenex Hub for more information.
5. Apparel & merchandise
Co‑branded apparel, such as polos, T‑shirts, jackets, vests, and hats, creates a polished, cohesive look for your team. Because your employees interact with customers daily, professional apparel strengthens your brand’s presence and credibility. Plus, branded merchandise makes great employee appreciation gifts and helps build team pride.
