Steve Rothenberg is your IOA Member Services Rep and has been working on great member business benefits and Hudson Insurance provides up to a 10 % insurance premium discount for all member companies achieving safety certification with IOA. Certified operators and employees receive a Certification Badge” to demonstrate their proficiency for knowledge of industry safety standards. Please contact Steve at st***@*****************rs.org and we thought we’d highlight both the member savings programs as well as invite you to join.
IOA is a 501c6 non-profit association organized for the benefit of its members. Everyday business benefits have been established with national brand resources like AT&T for communication, asset, and vehicle tracking, Enterprise Truck Rental with great rates negotiated for members, Constant Contact Email Marketing, and most recently Connecteam app for communication.
The Connecteam app was brought to us by an interested member and now has begun expanding into dedicated support from Connecteam, up to a 35% discount for start up of services, and credits applied for existing users. IOA templates and a dedicated account is also being developed with member resources in the palm of your hand, linked to and just as helpful as the app.
In peak times of demand for business, truck rental becomes necessary and the Enterprise Truck Rental discounts remain one of the most useful of all negotiated pricing discounts for all member businesses. Speaking of transportation, use the National Car rental for car rental even on personal trips. Need auto parts and supplies, perhaps a replacement battery for a mobile rock wall or vehicle in your fleet or in your driveway, AUTOZONE provides up to a 40% discount on purchases with access to the IOA member number. All of this info is available to you through your member portal “Member benefits” page.
We have been made aware of scams created to deceive customers with party rental, but as a member of IOA, you create your trusted member credentials by completing the member profile information. This provides a listing on the “IIO Directory page” associated with the IOA Website thank ranks high for industry authority related to internet search. Once your membership is active, also access the IOA Logo and copy the membership badge link to place the VERIFIED IOA Association logo directly on your company’s website. Your Badge is located under your IOA “My Account” page in the portal.
As EARLY REGISTRATION prepares to launch for the 2027 IOA Inflatable Safety Conference and Amusement Expo in 2027, almost the entire $299 Inflatable Industry Operator membership fee is saved through “Member Only” registration discounts as well. IOA Conference is now in it’s THIRD YEAR and provides in-depth inflatable industry training for business development from a host of professionals successful in the business and willing to share. As an association focused on safety and risk management, members can sit for safety training and obtain “Owner/ Operator Level 1” safety certification as a respected industry credential.
IOA is founded on industry collaboration and provides membership to Inflatable Industry Operators (IIO), Industry Resource Providers (IRP), and Inspection / Compliance Professionals (ICP). When working with all industry professionals, communication is important and having IOA Certifications demonstrates a professional commitment to the inflatable industry.
Join IOA and learn more through the IOA Website. Mid-year is a great time to get active as business is busy and the best savings for early registration are prepared to launch. Early registration will allow members to send more staff members and save significantly in excess related to the amount they invest for membership within the association.
