I was a member of the Professional Detailing Association when I first started and they didn't ask for anything other than dues (initially about $25 a year) and sent me out a certificate and sticker for my car. They had no idea if I was a good detailer or a hacker. I got a quarterly newletter and occasionally I would get free samples from distributers. When they raised the dues to $80 a year, I quit. Just not enough benefit.
What is important in any such organization is a way to verify their members are who they say they are and offer tangible benefits. Too often, you have to jump through hoops to get the perks (sort of like with rebates, make it hard enough and few will actually take advantage). What kind of assurances do we have your organization will be different? Not trying to slam you or anything, I'm just curious how you will go about all this.
