Introducing the IDA Member Referral Program!

One of the best marketing and lead-generating tools in the detailing industry is “word of mouth.”  That’s true for the IDA, too!  To encourage and recognize those IDA members and volunteers who are ambassadors of the IDA and advocates to their industry peers, the IDA is happy to introduce the new Member Referral Program.

The process is a simple one.  We have added a “Referred By” field to the membership application form.  When you encourage someone new to join, remind them to put your name in this field!  The more members you refer, the more your name appears in that field, and the more chances you have to be rewarded!

Rewards are two-pronged so that both high-volume recruiters are recognized and those who get even one new member to join during a reward cycle can still have a chance to win.

• Top Referring Member Award: The top referring member during a reward cycle will receive their member dues waived for the next year (or will have the option to gift the dues waiver to a friend or colleague).
• Member Referral Prize Drawing: Every member who has referred a new member during the reward cycle – whether you have referred 1 or 100 in that time period – will be entered into an annual prize drawing.*

The Member Referral Program takes place from January 1 to December 31 – an annual reward cycle – and it’s open now!  We will close the first round on December 31, 2023, to pull referral counts and complete the prize drawing.  The next round will begin on January 1, 2024.

The IDA was created by detailers, for detailers – we recognize and thank all our members who are representing the association positively to potential members, demonstrating the Code of Ethics every day, and embodying what the IDA is all about: community, education, and raising the bar for the industry as a whole.

*Prizes still TBD, likely a donated machine/equipment/product from one of IDA’s generous Supplier members, or IDA swag merchandise of the winner’s choosing. A prize of a machine or product does not constitute endorsement by IDA of the machine or product, or of the brand who has donated it. All Supplier members will be given equal opportunity to participate in the Member Referral Program as a product donor. More information coming soon!
