TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MARKETING REIMBURSEMENT PROGRAM
IA&B members in Pennsylvania and Delaware: You are eligible for the Trusted Choice Marketing Reimbursement Program through our affiliation with the Big I.
What is this program? The Marketing Reimbursement Program helps member agencies offset the cost of various marketing activities to grow their businesses.
How does it work? Reimbursements are made at 50% of cost with a maximum reimbursement amount of $1,000 per agency for 2025 expenses. You can use the funds for DIY digital marketing, working with a Trusted Choice preferred vendor, or marketing education.
All members qualify for the program, even if your agency used it in the past. Funds are limited, so Trusted Choice recommends applying early for reimbursements.
Where can I learn more? Visit the Trusted Choice website for more information, or contact trusted.choice@iiaba.net.
