... for you than all the year-round advertising you could dream up. One of the greatest ad programs was done by a Denver man who sells beach towels nationwide.The company that makes the towels sent people to see him to find out what his secret was. He simply took high-quality beach towels and printed Beech Aircraft' on them, and then invited people to come see a Beech airplane and pick up a beach towel. No one sells more beach towels than he does, and he's a thousand miles from the nearest ocean. Sometimes ideas like this can hit. If you find something that may work, capitalize on it. Look for a concept. One of the highest forms of intelligence is to take an idea and add to it. RADIO ADS When you're working with a radio station or a newspaper, they immediately try to tell you that you should advertise regularly. They of offer discounts if you do. Negotiate with them. Tell them that you want an annual contract along with the benefit of a lower rate, but you want to spread out the advertising to fit your needs. By having ads air only at the best times, you can get greater impact for the same cost or similar impact for less money. Here is one way you can do this: With the advent of computer billing, most of us are used to paying our bills around the first of the month. Also, most of the renewal bills are issued the first of the month. So if you concentrate your advertising during the last week of the month and the first week of the following month ...

... x No Thanks Loading.. Advertising For Help 4/30/2013 by Al Diamond , CompleteMarkets Editor 1 Verified Reviews - 5 of 5.0 1 2 3 4 5 INSURANCE Licensed P/C agent. Benefits Call Sonja at (856) 555-5555 (Cost $27.36 for Sunday insertion) How attractive is this advertisement? Would you be tempted to answer this ad if you saw it in the newspaper? Perhaps if you were out of work and actively seeking a job you'd note this position and respond. But the best prospective employees are already working and feel that they're 1) under-appreciated, 2) have no advancement opportunity, or 3) bored. They're the people that you'd like to attract, aren't they? Does this ad appeal to that type of employee? Treat advertisements for employees just like you'd treat marketing for new clients because, in fact, you're soliciting someone who'll help you make and keep hundreds of thousands of dollars during their tenure. You'd never advertise in the newspaper for clients like this: Insurance Available — Call Joe at (856) 555-5555 Although it tells people that you provide insurance, it does nothing but minimize cost. Many agents spend a great deal of money and time marketing to and contacting prospects who will return $500 or $1 ,000/year in gross commission. If you have the wrong employees in place, it degrades your retention because your clients don't feel that the relationship with your agency extends beyond their relationship with their producer. The agencies with the highest client retention are those with whom the clients feel close to their service and ...

... x No Thanks Loading.. Using Publicity To Enhance Your Agency's Image 4/30/2013 by CompleteMarkets Editor , LuNell Gilliland This content has not been rated yet. As money gets tight, many agencies instinctively react by cutting back advertising. To save money, they decrease the size of their Yellow Pages ad, drop local newspaper ads and radio spots, and cancel direct mail projects. No one discounts the importance of advertising, even when business is down and ads regrettably are cut. There is, however, an attractive alternative that will enable you to keep your firm's name in circulation without spending money: publicity. Because it's free, publicity is downright inviting. But many agencies fail to take the time and effort to use it to their advantage. This article will lead you down the path to free advertising through publicity. Publicity consists of any information or action that brings a person, event or idea to public notice. You must supply information that is factual, interesting and newsworthy to the media. And since you don't directly control the media, you gain publicity only by earning it through interesting material. Publicity shapes the way customers, prospects and employees view your agency. Use publicity correctly and you control the public's perception of your agency. If you don't control that perception, competitors will do it for you, and not very favorably. To take advantage of publicity, first devise a plan and be clear about your message. You must: Define you publicity goals. Identify your audience. Appoint someone to take charge of publicity. Measure your success. To help ...
