READY TO BE NOTICED OUT THERE?  COOL!  THEN HIRE THE AUNT.


Dear Aunt Shurance™ (DAS) is a refreshing alternative to the standard insurance promotional fare. This entertaining and promotional CD presents a series of Q&A "advice columns" and insurance quizzes.  Both have their own unique style and formula. The “advice columns” set up the answer (which unabashedly promotes you and your agency) with outlandish situations; ones that parody the serious advice columns found in many daily newspapers. The quizzes are where DAS turns the tables on your prospect — asking them a policy-specific multiple-choice question. The humor is in some of the wild answers.  Click on the images [above] to see two examples... a fun Q&A "advice column" and an entertaining insurance quiz — both about jewelry insurance.

DAS helps people to laugh, particularly about what is generally perceived to be a very serious business.  This approach allows you to let people relax a little, hopefully enough to pick up the phone and call you — or at least visit your Web site.  Furthermore, it’s a wise strategy to establish your office as a “creative” enterprise.  This important label helps when you are competing against better financed rivals.  Prospects imagine that if you are creative in your agency’s promotional activities, then your approach to providing for their insurance will be equally innovative.  Use the DAS “advice columns” and insurance quizzes to help you accomplish this.  Combined, the entertaining, informative tools on this CD help to get your agency noticed in a very crowded marketplace.

Dear Aunt Shurance™ is solicitous of the multi-car, home-owning, jewelry-wearing suburbanite. As we all know, these consumers often generate considerable long-term income for agencies and companies alike.  It’s why the competition for their business is so brutal and eternal.  It’s also why so many suburban neighborhoods are bombarded with mailings, ads, and inserts from the nation’s most aggressive insurers.  Their big budget marketing typically touts premium savings of “up to $XXX dollars.”  To stand out from this cacophony, your message must be significantly different.  DAS provides you with a set of fun and original alternatives.

Enjoy complete flexibility.  The many templates on the CD present sample text only.  You may leave the content in the columns and quizzes unchanged or freely change their wording to correspond with your own sense of humor, etc.  Click here for a list of CD contents.  CD requires Microsoft® WordAll templates are Word files.
