... , unless they're in the beauty salon industry. Hikari is a scissors manufacturer and distributor. Not just any type of scissors, but very expensive scissors used by hair stylists. A small, five-inch pair of scissors might sell for $400, and more expensive models approach $1 ,000. Considering that the average hair stylist grosses about $30,000 to 35,000, this is a market in which the buyers spend 1% to 2% of their gross earnings for two pieces of metal connected with a screw and washer. You might think that it's a pretty tough market, but the U.S. distributor sells about a thousand pairs per month with a total employee of five. The intriguing thing is that Hikari has never purchased any advertising! They have built their business with seminars and other informational tools that (1 ) help stylists to perform their jobs better and (2 ) help their distributors to be more professional within the salon industry (which benefits all the manufacturers they may represent) . In both cases, the middle-man distributors and the actual hair stylists, Hikari utilizes audiocassette programming and live seminars to carry their message. So although insurance and scissors may be miles apart in product, they're remarkably close when it comes to innovative marketing. Let's first look at the programs for the end user: the hair stylist. Continual research has identified several problems affecting this group. One had to do with the scissors: the distributors weren't taking time to cover all the bases when delivering them to the buyer. Another problem was a high rate of carpal tunnel syndrome among ...

At one time, these cycles occurred fairly consistently at about seven year intervals. However, the last significant hard market came in the mid-80s. A hard market is characterized by increasing rates and/or reduced industry capacity, which leads to affordability and/or availability problems. In addition, both underwriting and claims adjusting usually become more stringent. In the current marketplace, these conditions are exacerbated by increased uncertainty about such loss exposures as terrorism, mold, etc., and by a reinsurance market significantly ...

... Wall Street Journal and the business sections of newspapers throughout the world. What About Insurance? Don't let the national ballyhoo scare you away from infomercials. They can be a viable way to attract new clients and expand your revenue base. When you do consider the infomercial form, concentrate on the educational and informational aspects of delivering your message. Don't think like the "Juice Man"; in fact, the old half-hour program of the late Bishop Fulton J. Sheen is a good model for a simple, educational infomercial. Over 30 minutes, Sheen would use a chalkboard, his persuasive voice, and a straightforward manner to bring his message to millions of Americans. Already some insurance agencies and brokerages are using an infomercial concept, without even being aware of it. Such firms put on topical seminars to solidify their client relationships and attract new clients. They book a conference room and present valuable information to gain more business for their agency. Agency X may sponsor a seminar on retirement planning to attract customers for its financial planning services; Agency Y may conduct a wellness workshop to promote its Health insurance markets. These seminars are nothing more than "live" infomercials with a limited audience. If a camera crew were to videotape the seminar, it could be edited for television viewing. Similarly, an audio technician could adapt the recording for radio. Other agencies have produced marketing videos or audiotapes to sell their services and expertise to potential clients. Such productions can also be considered infomercials, merely employing a different method of distribution. Aggressive agents in a number of markets have been airing insurance ...
