So, why join the HCA and why did we start it?
Simple, as the three founders, we all have businesses in this industry, we know how challenging it can be to get your company noticed. We all have limited budgets to spend on marketing, and even if we use free marketing resources like social media and YouTube, that can be a full-time job on its own. So, with all members putting a small amount of money into a pot, we believe that alone we can make a small dent, but together we can explore more avenues, reach more clients, and make a bigger impact. So, what’s included in the membership?
GROUP ADVERTISING – member BENEFIT
Everyone knows that reaching the ‘end clients’ can cost a lot of money and most companies have to be very selective where they invest their limited marketing budgets. This is where HCA group advertising can help. Rather than individuals working on their own to create exposer for their own businesses, we pull a small amount of advertising revenue from members yearly subscriptions to create group advertising, promoting the Home Cinema Alliances website, social feeds, Member Locator, and adverts with editorial in two client facing publications.
social media - FACEBOOK - INSTAGRAM - X – MEMBER BENEFIT
These are the ideal platforms for showcasing your completed work. Send us your best pictures of your latest and greatest install, together with a brief description and the products used. We will then post them on our platforms for people to see. Visit Facebook - Visit Instagram - Visit X
YOUTUBE – MEMBER BENEFIT
If you run or have every explored running a YouTube channel, you know that the key to driving your platform and gaining followers is consistency. Regular uploads keeps both YouTube and your subscribers happy. This of course can be challenging in an industry where we produce bespoke high-end Cinema Rooms. Using a similar philosophy as with group advertising we ask members to submit their content for us to display on the HCA Channel. This gives us regular content that we can upload weekly and keep subscribers coming back regularly. If you are not using YouTube, carry on reading. Visit YouTube
Media Services – Member Benefit
“An image is worth a thousand words”, but some companies struggle with this. Building on years of experience developing the founding members websites and social media accounts. We can assist HCA members with creating and promoting their creations. This starts with capturing photo and video content of their work and then editing and creating bite size and full form media for promotion on their websites, social media, and YouTube. Not good with social media or don’t have a YouTube page? We can help.

A popular platform for clients looking for inspiration for their property aspirations. As an official Houzz affiliate, you can apply to have the Home Cinema Alliance member badge on your Houzz profile, as well as sharing pictures of your most excellent work via the shared projects folders.

SPONSORSHIPS – member BENEFIT
Every year we look at different ways to promote our members via sponsorship. In 2024 we started working closely with the Apex Indi Film Awards as head sponsor to support indie filmmakers. The synergy between APEX and HCA is clear and we’re excited to work together. They we’ll be showcasing our members amazing Cinema Rooms across their platforms, and we'll be promoting their indie filmmakers’ projects
Client facing exhibition – member BENEFIT
If you have ever done a client facing exhibition such as Grand Designs or Home Building and Renovating you know how stressful these can be. As a business owner you have to design, pay for and staff the stand before one future client even visits the show. As an Alliance of companies the HCA take the same ethos used in group advertising and use this in group exhibiting. All member companies put an amount of money into a pot to pay for and create the exhibition stand. Then each company can then send company representative to man the stand during the opening days of the event and share in the client leads.
