# Can I run a joint campaign with another dealer?

Yes — you can run a joint campaign by starting a **Multi-Partner Campaign** and inviting the other dealers to participate.

### How joint (multi-partner) campaigns work
There are two supported ways to run a joint campaign:
**1) Template-based (Lead Dealer / Channel Partner)**
* The lead dealer selects a **Multi-Partner template**
* Invites participating dealers **before** campaign setup begins
* After all dealers accept, the lead completes setup and books the campaign
* Each dealer submits **their own reimbursement request** with their own **invoice** and **proof of action**
**2) Initiative-based (Sales Rep / District Manager)**
* A sales rep initiates the campaign and creative is prepared on request
* The advertising material is checked for compliance (e.g., Emil Frey review)
* The initiator sends the material to the print provider
* Each participating dealer submits **their own reimbursement request** with **advertising material + invoices**

### How to start a Multi-Partner Campaign (template-based)
1. Go to **Explore**
2. Select a **Multi-Partner** template
3. Select participating dealers and set:
    * **Total campaign amount**
    * Per-dealer allocation (**fixed** or **%**)
4. Click **Send Invitations**
5. Wait for all invited dealers to **Accept**
6. Complete the campaign setup and confirm booking

### Important to know
* Invitations are sent **at the very start** to avoid setup work if a dealer declines.
* If any dealer **declines before setup starts**:
    * The setup flow is **terminated**
    * The lead dealer must **restart** the campaign from the beginning
    * Redistribution / proceeding with fewer dealers is **not supported**
* Non-lead participants have **read-only access** during setup.
* Reimbursements are always **individual per dealer** (even though the campaign is joint).

### What happens next
After the campaign is booked:
* The platform auto-activates **separate reimbursement flows** for each participating dealer
* Each dealer uploads:
    * Their own **invoice**
    * Their own **proof of action**
