At Senior Marketing Specialists we are committed to helping independent insurance agents in the Senior Market stay up-to-date with the latest industry information.

The official dates for the 2012 AEP: October 15 - December 7.

Internet Marketing Generates Leads for Insurance Agents
"The internet typically pulls clients to you instead of you pushing your product to them. This can shorten your sales cycle considerably. Also, marketing on the internet requires you to invest little time, a flat rate and all the results are measurable. It is easy for you to see how many people came to your website and exactly what they typed to get there." To read more, check out the full article on Linkedin: Internet Marketing for Insurance Agents

Helpful Information for Insurance Agents in the Senior Market!
1. Here's a really cool promotional video idea for independent insurance agents! Just think, you could have a similar video made for your own website or social media sites! If you are seriously interested in this, let us know and we'll see how we can help you. https://www.travelersagentvideo.com/VLP173CB4.aspx
2. When people are looking for answers, the common practice today is to "Google it". When seniors are looking for an insurance agent in their area, they are more likely than ever before to jump online and see what results the search engines pull! So, the question is, does your website and do your social media sites appear in search results for your key words? Maybe you don't already have a website or social media sites? Maybe you don't see the need? We would like to argue that there is a strong need for insurance agents in the Senior Market to have an online presence! You may be surprised by this, but seniors are actually active online these days! Here are some statistics that support senior activity on social media sites. http://www.linkedin.com/news?actionBar=&articleID=593315083&ids=0SdjoRcjkOejkIe38Ue3sTcjARb3kPejkRd3cVdiMUdjwOejgNejkIcPwMdj4PcPAR&aag=true&freq=weekly&trk=eml-tod-b-ttle-80. So, if you don't already have your information online, you should consider investing a little time and money to ensure that your business is found on the web! And we would be glad to help you, if you are contracted and writing business with Senior Marketing Specialists. This is one of the many services we provide to the independent insurance agents working with our team!
