Introducing the IDA's Consumer Website, DetailingNearby.com!

Tuesday, January 24, 2023   (0 Comments)

Hello IDA Members,

We are so excited to be able to announce the full launch of our consumer-facing website, DetailingNearby.com! This site showcases who the IDA is, provides consumers with knowledge and tips to maintain their vehicles between professional details, and most importantly, helps consumers connect with you, our members and Certified Detailers, for your professional detailing services!

This project has been several years in the making, and we have to thank the fantastic team that helped bring it to fruition: Josh Buckler, IDA Marketing & Communications (MarComm) Committee Chair, 2021-2022; Noah Dixon, IDA MarComm Committee Chair, 2023; Oscar Hernandez, CD-SV, and Ian Rammelkamp, CD, IDA Board members and liaisons to the MarComm Committee; and the full IDA MarComm committee. These members have volunteered their time and expertise over the past two years throughout the planning and development stages, and they will continue to work hard to make sure this tool remains a valuable resource for you, our members, and consumers in an ever-evolving digital landscape.

As we have mentioned before, the most important aspect of this site is the member locator directory and map. Consumers can search by location and service to find IDA members and Certified Detailers near them who can provide the necessary services for their vehicle. Be sure to keep your IDA profile up-to-date with all your current contact information, locations, services offered, and hours of operation to help us make this the most accurate professional detailing directory in the world!

Each company has its own profile page – check out yours in the member directory here! Search by city or zip/postal code, or allow the site to access your current location. From the results page, click on the "Details" button for your business to get to your profile page. From your profile page, copy the link from the address bar. Then, click here to download the digital business card to add to your website! Not sure how to do this? Visit the IDA Booth #935 at Mobile Tech Expo for live demos throughout the show!

Be sure to also add the digital business card and link to your social media pages, email signature, print materials, and anywhere else you advertise your IDA membership and certification. The more visibility we can create, the more legitimacy we can continue to build for our association and industry.

Want to refer a fellow IDA member or Certified Detailer to a client outside of your location or area of expertise? Use the directory to find a recommendation!

The next time you have a customer that asks about your IDA membership and/or certification, be sure to direct them to DetailingNearby.com, where they can learn more about what the IDA is and the importance of working with a professional detailer. We have provided print files for you to print your own Detailing Nearby business cards that you can hand out to customers. You can also pick up a limited number of pre-printed business cards from the IDA Booth #935 at Mobile Tech Expo.

Although the priority of this website is the detailer directory, another important feature is the consumer-focused blog. This resource is meant to give consumers the knowledge to best maintain their vehicles in between professional detailing services, and prepare them to be more educated about what goes into a professional detailing. Are you interested in contributing an article or video to the blog? Contact us here!

If you have any updates for your profile page, please be sure to make those changes in your IDA profile; information will be pulled from there and updated on a weekly basis.
