Excellent idea to call ahead first. Also call US Customs, as you will need to bring the items back across.

The last time I took a truck into Canada full of display materials (about 15 years back), we had to hire a broker to handle the paperwork and to post a bond. Canada wants to make sure that the goods come back to the US with you. You may be able to do this yourself at the border, but call first.

I would imagine that this is a common practice. I've driven across the border many times with sales presentation materials in my trunk, including samples. If I had a truck or anything that would be considered a commercial vehicle, I would plan in advance.
