I wouldn't mind paying $75 just for "Professional Detailer's Association Member" on my cards/brochures/site, but here is what you get for $75:
1. For the first time, Detailers can now buy Health Insurance at group rates through Association
Pros and PDTA Health Care Plan. This plan can cover you and your family, and also your
employees.
2. Business Insurance through Consumer Insurance Services. This policy is written especially
for PDTA members and avaliable all across the United States.
3. Member access to the Technical Service Bulletins -- Only dealers and manufacturers see
these. We currently haveover 37 OEM TSB's in our library relating to vehicle finish conditions
and correct repair procedures.
4. Networking opportunities with your peers. We are planning several PDTA member only
events around the country where members can network together . We are planning a Detailers
Round Table at next years Mobile Tech Expo, plus some social events for the evenings.
5. National Promotions . We recently finished our first promotional activity, with our most
detailed car of 2004 poll, this was picked up by several magazines , and will be even bigger next
year. We will also be working with detailers and their own local media to promote professional
detailing in the next year in association with some of our supplier members.
7. Your business listed in our "find a detailer" section. This page is one of the most popular on
our web site , regularly receiving 2-300 visits a week.
8. Discounted car rental through Avis . Save over $50.00 on becoming a member of Avis
Preferred , and get 5-10 % off of published rates.
9. Permanent Discounts and special limited time offers from some of our supplier members.
I guess it's worth it to me.
