The average auto insurance rates for women differ than those from men. They also differ depending on the age group. Drivers under 25 get the higher rates for car insurance while senior drivers get the lowest ones. This is because statistics say that teenagers are causing more accidents than other drivers. Marital status also seems to count because married drivers and families get lower premiums than unmarried drivers of the same age. There are also discounts for women because they are considered safe drivers. Combining all the information above we reach the conclusion that the highest average auto insurance rates are being paid by men under 25 years old.

Being a local insurance agent has its advantages. You can market to a local area, you have a deep understanding of what items most commonly affect homeowners and you know where your potential clients are located! Many insurance agents establish a small office and then target their local area through relationships, meetings, and when they really want to turn on their business; direct mail.

The challenge for many insurance professionals is they send the stock letter that corporate provides. This letter is usually sent with a “see through window” for the address and the company logo as the return address. An envelope like this ends up in the trash can in less than 10 seconds without the letter even being read. It’s hard to get calls for new policies when your envelope doesn’t even get opened.

Consider sending an insurance letter that piques the interest of prospects, gets them to read your letter, and empowers your favorite customer to pick up the phone. Before you send your next direct mail campaign for new insurance prospects, consider the following:

This simple envelope will look different when you take the time to handwrite the addresses. Before you think that will take “too much work” ask yourself how expensive it is to send out a letter that doesn’t get read.
2. Letter – Ditch the picture of yourself in the corner. Your prospect doesn’t care about you when they open your letter, they care about themselves. They likely have insurance already, and you have less than 10 seconds to prove to them why they should read your letter and consider a switch.
3. Call to Action – How easy can you make it for them to find out more? Do you have a free report on your website they can download? Can they come to a free seminar on a Saturday to discover what to look for when it comes to choosing insurance? Provide 1 clear call to action in your letter to make it easy for them to take the next step. Continue Reading
