New Site Search Makes Finding Member Articles Easy...Try It Now

This is our new search engine provided by Google, located on our Home Page. Search for just about anything on our site including: articles, photos, reviews, press releases, support, events or questions about membership, press access, how to produce a great profile or any other questions you may have.

It is also a great way to locate specific member articles, photos, videos and other contributions to our site. Use this search now and see how easy it is to access everything on this web site, fast.

Have You Updated Your Profile Recently?

If you have wondered why you may not have been granted media access to a show or event, the answer might be your members profile on our web site.

In every new member email and each time we talk to members, we urge them to work on their members profile. It is the single most important thing you can do to gain access. Yes, a press card will get you in the door at museums and other attractions and you will probably get the VIP treatment at many places showing your Press ID, but for the most difficult events, they will want you to fax them samples of your published work. You can easily print out your articles from our site and refer them to our site to look at your work on the site and of course the web site itself.

Members who attempt to renew their membership and we find they have not completed their profile, may not be granted renewal. Take some time now and work on your profile. To see some great techniques on adding video, slide shows and other features, visit our Forum for tips. Please feel free to visit our president's profile to see how he has integrated videos, slide shows and other code from the many web sites you can upload your photos and videos too....YouTube, MySpace, Picasa Web and others.

January Pay For 12 Get 14 Huge Success

It was the first promotion IPA has offered to our new and current members offering Platinum Members 14 months on a new or renewed membership at the same cost as our 12 month membership. Many of our current members took the opportunity to renew or extend their memberships and many new members also found this promotion a great value.

Based on the success of this promotion and the continued difficult economic climate, we have decided to offer new promotions to help our members continue their membership in IPA and do so by helping IPA grow.

New, Video Explains Benefits of IPA Membership

We have produced a new video that will help you show prospective members the many benefits of IPA membership. Our video takes visitors on a site tour and covers many of the benefits of membership including media access to shows and events as well as many ways to increase their income and find new clients for their current business or services. Check this video out on our home page and on our Benefits of Membership page.

Our video can also be seen on YouTube, Facebook and other sites. Watch it now...

New Member Benefits Section

IPA continues to offer our members greater benefits each year. We are hard at work looking for companies that offer members of the media and IPA members money saving offers.

Visit our improved Member Benefits section after you have logged into our site and see how you can score free passes for international attractions like Disneyland, Disneyworld, Universal Studios and many others. Save money on magazine subscriptions hand selected to be of interest to our members. Find other offers from companies like Buy.com, Amazon, Tiger Direct, Mac Mall and many others too.
