Two New Programs - Refer-a-Friend and Share your Story!

Introducing the Refer-a-Friend for iHOUSE and IDXPro Customers:

The new Refer-a-Friend Program is for all existing iHOUSE Website and IDXPro customers. When referred friends sign up for either iHOUSE Websites or IDXPro MLS Search, our customers who sent the referral can choose a "Thank You Reward" - either a $40 gift card or a $40 credit to their accounts. Additionally, the newly referred customers will each receive a $40 credit.

There are no predetermined limits to the number of referrals and potential accumulated rewards. An iHOUSE customer can significantly reduce his or her own web site hosting or IDXPro service costs by sending occasional referrals if they become customers. To activate the reward process, referred customers must fill out the form located at www.ihouseweb.com/bin/referral.php. More information on the program is also available at www.ihouseweb.com/referral.html.

Introducing our Share Your Story Program:

Our hope with our NEW Share Your Story Program is to hear about your experiences using our products to promote your business and your listings, and share them with our existing and potential customers. And in return for taking the time to share your story, we will enter you in a contest to win a free iPOD Nano. The drawing is held four times a year, and you'll be entered into the drawing for the same quarter in which you shared your story.  Its easy to get started - there are links on the iHOUSE admin panel and log in page.
