Is your insurance agency thinking about using web seminar marketing to improve lead generation in the coming year? Usually a webinar initiative is accompanied by a supporting insurance eMarketing campaign. Web seminar marketing is a great idea for most B2B oriented agencies, start by asking these top 10 web seminar marketing questions: 
  1. What are the quantifiable and measurable goals of the insurance webinar program?
  2. How many  eMarketing Campaigns per month should be sent?
  3. Should I use graphically rich HTML emails, text emails or multipart mime?
  4. Should I send emails out using my Outlook or a cloud computing eMarketing solution?
  5. Should I enable click through tracking on my eMarketing campaigns?
  6. What is the best duration for a webinar and what type of speaker should I use?
  7. What type of topics work best?
  8. What type of webinar technology should I use, and can I record my webinars?
  9. If the webinars are recorded, should I post them to my website, YouTube or both?

Benjamin Franklin - Democrat or Republican

If Ben Franklin were alive today, would he be a  Democrat, Republican or Independent? If Ben were to visit Washington some 220 years later, I wonder what he would think of our current political system. When reading his autobiography, one can see that Ben had quite the curriculum vitae, he was the first United States Ambassador to France, the first Postmaster, founded the first lending library, invented the lightning rod and the Franklin Stove, and started the  first police and fire departments.  He preached the value of thrift, hard work, education, community spirit, self-governing institutions, and believed it was the first responsibility of every citizen to question authority.

Insurance Agency Marketing – Continuous Refinements for Agencies Large & Small

As our party of four entered the security gate of our Marriott hotel, we inserted a key for entry. Below the key slot, was a simple reminder. Call Pizza Hut for room delivery, dial extension #4141. A tiny marketing refinement from a mega corporation. Shouldn't Marriott be more concerned with branding, vacation club sales, airline promotions and other major marketing initiatives.
The little reminder worked on us, as we called room service and ordered pizzas as soon as we got back to the condo. Pizzas, chicken wings, a large salad and a bottle of Pepsi arrived promptly from the Pizza Hut located at the Marriott Vacation Club. This is a good example how minor marketing refinements can have a big impact on any business. This corporation took the time to add a tiny sign to a security gate, resulting in a new order. Insurance agency marketing can and should work in a similar way. Beyond the major marketing initiatives, such as:

  • Insurance Agency Websites
  • Web Seminar Marketing
  • Insurance Agency eMarketing
  • Social Media Marketing (LinkedIn, Facebook, Google+, YouTube, Twitter)
  • Insurance Blogging
  • Insurance Agency SEO
  • Telemarketing and other direct Insurance Lead Programs
There are many other refinements for agencies seeking to move to the next level:

  • E-brochures (including your Insurance Agency Overview)
  • Insurance Agency Microsites and Landing Pages
  • Agency Client Testimonials and Case Studies
  • Digital Email Fulfillment, E-collateral
  • Insurance Agency Value Proposition Video (agency home page)
  • Line Specific Agency Videos (website and YouTube)
These small refinements can make a big difference to your agency. They can help your agents land that new client and improve your close ratios.
