... GAP by Emily Huling Agents and clients have different priorities. A recent Independent Insurance Agents of America study revealed that 59% of Personal Lines customers want to access policy information online, but only 6% of agents thought this was a priority. While 87% of consumers want 24-hour customer service, only 33% of agents cited this as an important benefit. It's a shock to learn that such a large disparity in perception exists.

... personality into your Web site enhances your credibility and competitive edge. A site devoid of agency personality remains an under-developed and ineffective marketing and communication tool. In this document, Steve Brightbill describes the attributes of a Web site that competes for, and gets, attention.
