PROMOTER MEMBERSHIP

 

IASCA has always been an advocate of supporting those who want to "bring it to the next level"; our promoter members are equally as important to us as our dealers and industry members. Over the course of the last few years, we have been working to design a promoter membership package that gives promoters not only the benefit of sanctioning IASCA events for dealers or other events, but the tools to make that happen.

We've designed a package that allows you to sanction IASCA events within an area of responsibility that is yours and supply you with the rule books, CDs, banners and materials, everything that you need to successfully run an IASCA event. Our goal is to empower you to host shows, show others in your area what IASCA is all about and bring it to the next level!

For more information, contact our office at (386) 322-1551 between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.

 

DEALER MEMBERSHIP

 

Presenting your shop as an Authorized IASCA retailer elevates your position in the marketplace; the IASCA plan is to suggest the tools to accomplish this. Certain requirements must be met to become an authorized IASCA retailer.

Your shop must:

  • Have a bonafide storefront and business license.
  • Have at least one enclosed installation bay.
  • Maintain proper tooling to perform competition sound systems.
  • Have qualified personnel to perform high end system installations. MECP certified standard preferred.
  • Have performed the installation of at least one competition caliber sound system.
  • Have a URL and website of even the simplest nature.
  • Have shop representative(s) participate in IASCA forum topics and blogs.
  • Have all employees related to car audio have a better than working knowledge of the IASCA SQ rules.
  • Use IASCA rules on your sales floor.
  • Perform at least one soundoff every year as a member.
  • Display an IASCA Authorized Dealer Banner in your showroom.

Some 20 years ago, the soundoff was developed to give your customers a place to play with all that equipment they purchased from you. Boom systems, crankin’ car audio; it’s what we know and love to do. Dealers held promotional soundoff events in their parking lots to expose their trade to the public; and it worked! The more consumers got involved the more they liked it. NEWSFLASH: They still do! Soundoff events held at your shop are great fun for your customers and give you the promotional opportunity to gain more of them, especially when you provide the fun! IASCA has made it easier to hold an event at your location without a major production and without costing you an arm and a leg.

Competition in the retail trade is fierce. With the advent of big box stores and internet retailers, independent retail stores like yours are finding it increasingly difficult to stay competitive in today's global market. Independent retailer needs an edge. Branding your shop name along with a world renown brand like IASCA is a powerful statement that your shop is qualified to install intense systems and if you can do that, you can perform the simple “Indash and 2” Bread ‘n Butter jobs.

Using the IASCA rules of competition on your sales floor enables you to show your customers the high standards you follow when working on their vehicles and help to establish your shop as the "go to" dealer in your area. But, like any of the tools you have in your shop, they won't work for you if you don't use them.

IASCA's Retail Membership program offers you a number of tools to use in your shop:

  • An IASCA Logo door sticker.
  • An Authorized IASCA Retailer Banner
  • Your own page on our website
  • Your address in our search database
  • Two copies of "The Rules", IASCA's competition rule book
  • Two each of IASCA's Sound Quality and SPL CDs
  • An IASCA Dealer handbook, filled with tips and hints about hosting a car audio competition and notes on how to use the IASCA sales tools on your showroom floor.
  • Email and phone support for event production assistance and consultation.
  • An SPE (Single Point Event) sanctioning fee at no cost
  • A $25.00 credit towards IASCA score sheets for the event
  • Example copies of all of our competition format score sheets and one competitor membership for your shop.

Our goal at IASCA Worldwide Inc. is to help you establish yourself as the "Pros to go to" in your market area. We also offer a search engine on our website for browsers who are looking for dealers in their area; as an IASCA Retail Member, your store info is added to that search engine list so anyone in your area looking for a dealer will see your store name. Web surfers who come to our site and see your store being advertised sends the strong message; "We are The Standard By Which Great Mobile Electronics Performance Is Measured".

INDUSTRY MEMBERSHIP

 

IASCA's original conception was based on creating a "marketing tool" for the mobile electronics industry; it had many tools at the beginning and many of them were powerful, however the "machine" called the "Soundoff" became all consuming and many other great tools were cast aside for the path of least resistance...

In those days, IASCA was headed up by a panel of industry executives from all walks of the mobile electronics industry; today, we are a group of individuals, all related to the car audio industry, who share a common passion of seeing this industry grow. We come from all walks of life; retailers, competitors, manufacturers and combined, we have over 100 years of mobile electronics experience.

In the last five years, we have worked hard to create an organization dedicated to the proliferation of this industry, through programs such as the IASCA Retail Membership Program, designed to help independent retailers establish themselves as the professionals in their market area, to the Auto Sound Enthusiast (ASE) Program, which links web surfers to their local retailers and gets them in the dealers' shops, instead of buying equipment off the Internet.

These are but a couple of the programs we have been working on, designed to stimulate our target demographics; in achieving these goals, we can now create demographic reports that show manufacturers who is buying their equipment and where they are buying it from, bringing valuable information to our manufacturers and earning their support. We have formed an alliance with NOPI, hosting IASCA Multimedia Expos (mini vendor expos) at all of their major events, designed to expose manufacturers, distributors and retailers to the target demographic we serve; our association with the NOPI Nationals for the IASCA World Finals exposes mobile electronics manufacturers to over 100,000 people (all within our target demographics) over two days in September. In a time where major mobile electronic expos such as CES are losing the wind in their sails, IASCA is targeting the key people who don't attend these events in order to expose our industry to those who are not familiar with it, bringing that wind back into the sails of the industry.
