"Value is determined by worth rather than the price."
- Steve Parrish




The main focus of the ILTA is helping our Developer Members. We open up our resources and knowledge base to assist our Members. We provide more than just literature - we offer phone support; access to our extensive Resource Library; Lists of Facilities to visit; Business Plan reviews; Laser Tag Equipment Contract review; and much, much more.

Our Members range from India to Indiana, from San Francisco to Singapore, from Kentucky to Kuwait, ILTA Developer Members span the globe sharing the common mindset - To Succeed! We have one new member joining every five days since January 1, 1998. Read what our Members are saying to us at the bottom of this page.

Available to those interested in starting a laser tag center; the Developer Membership offers the most value for the dollar. It provides the following benefits:

SERVICES -

· Business Plan Review ·

Your business plan will be reviewed for potential fatal errors and flaws that could derail your funding possibility. All business plans are treated confidentially. After unlimited reviews, we can provide a letter stating that your plan has been independantly reviewed and is within industry guidelines.

· Laser Tag Equipment Contract Review ·

After operating 3 different types of laser tag equipment and gathering lessons learned from our members worldwide we will review your sales proposal before you sign anything legally binding. We do not provide legal advice but we can find flaws in contracts that may void your warranty and/or your protected territory. We can recommend key items to negotiate so that both you and the equipment vendor generate a win-win relationship for your long-term success. All contracts are treated confidentially.

· Arcade Contract Review ·

The revenues generated in your arcade can be up to 25% of your facility gross sales and a bad agreement can cost you tens of thousands. Avoid that mistake by having the ILTA review your arcade contract in advance.

· Soft Drink Supplier Review ·

Does your agreement from your soft drink supplier come with a check? Many successful operators are able to get additional sums of money from the soft drink supplier in addition lower case prices. The ILTA Test Site received a check for $10,000 just to switch vendors.

· Laser Tag Equipment Supplier Review ·

You need an unbiased point of view regarding the most appropriate laser tag vendors for your project. The ILTA will not recommend any one particular vendor but we can aid you in determing the two or three suitable vendors based on your project guidelines.

· Facility Design Operational Ease Review ·

No, we don't design your facility - we have great members below that do that at a discount! But, we are happy to review the floor plan for the facility and the arena for operational utilization for greater efficiency and profitability. In one non-member designed review we found two extra door frames that were not needed which saved the Developer approximately $1000 in contruction costs.
