Western Timber Frame also offers up to 25 percent off for premium dealers that agree to only sell the company's pergola kits. Dealer benefits include: custom pergola design; technical support; sales leads (for exclusive premium dealers); aggressive commission structure; referral incentives.

Ecologel has a program for any landscape contractor who offers Hydretain as part of their maintenance or installation package or as an add-on service. The Hydretain Advantage Program provides participants with free marketing materials, company listing in the online applicator directory, product training and ongoing product tech support. In combination with the existing maintenance routine, Hydretain is designed to keep greenscapes healthy during season drought and daily wilt cycles, and allow contractors to witness real and significant savings in utilities costs. Reportedly, these savings will more than cover the cost of the service.

Allan Block has offered a contractor program for many years that rewards its trained and certified contractors for building with company retaining wall products. Once the contractor has attended one of the certifications, they can be part of Allan Block's rewards program. The first part of the program is the contractor wall program. Over the years, a contractor moves from being a certified to an experienced to finally a master wall builder. Upon this achievement they receive a leather jacket. This is a one-time reward. The second part of the program rewards them yearly for each project that is submitted that year. The more walls they build, the closer they get to becoming a master wall builder.
