Some travel insurance policies cover the loss of or theft of your belongings while travelling. However, the insurance company will not pay your claim without a police report.

Re: Internet Seach Company
What your ultimate goal and marketing budget? If you have enough budget, it's a good idea to hire an SEO company that specializes in optimizing insurance sites, attracting a target audience and gathering insurance leads. These are some of the things you need to consider.

Re: What websites or app are agents using?
I use tons of tools and applications, most of them in marketing, sales and lead generation. I use a CRM which is basically a contact manager that lets you keep track of any and all information you have about a person. It's a must have!

Re: Online Insurance and Leads
Online insurance leads are okay, but you need to be cautious in buying them. One of the things to consider when choosing an insurance lead company is the type of lead you want. Is it Shared? or Exclusive? I prefer Exclusive leads, but they much more expensive and difficult to find.

Re: What is the Purpose of An Agency Website?
Good points! I think an agency website should be informative too. It should not be all about marketing. Readers must be able to get helpful resources in the website. Of course, you also need to make sure you include an online quote tool that WORKS.

Re: Book recommendation for starting an agency?
Get the book entitled "Power Position Your Agency: A Guide to Insurance Agency Success." I read this book a few years ago. It's a good instruction book on how to grow any size agency with simple approaches.

Re: Identity Theft coverage
A good option is to get identity theft protection from a company that does ONLY theft identity protection. Never get it from homeowners insurance company. Get the experts in your area.

Re: Misleading Advertising
False advertising is never a good strategy. It can sure catch attention but it can never lead to increased sales. It will just annoy people. False, misleading and deceptive selling should be reported to the proper authorities. Everyone has the right to receive truthful messages about the goods and s...

Re: Marketing Marketing Marketing
We've been using social media sites in marketing and promotion, and it's been great so far. I think social media marketing (through FB, Twitter, etc.) is here to stay. Facebook, in particular, offers many ways to get the word out and bring the people in.

Re: Social Media
Social media sites are a good platform for promotion and even lead generation. We've been using the PPC campaign Facebook to promote our services. So far, so good. It's totally worth it. We also have an FB page to communicate with potential clients.
