The problem

Your clients only hear from you when something is wrong.

A claim. A billing question. A rate increase. For most agents, that is the whole relationship. Nothing proactive, nothing friendly, nothing in between.

An example year. The two calls stand for a billing question and a claim.

Top of mind

People don't cancel on someone they know.

If a client hears from you once a year, or only when they call, there is no loyalty to lose. You are a name on a policy, the same as anyone else.

Send something they enjoy twice a month and that changes. They see your face. They see your team. They get a little insurance along the way. When it is time to renew, or a cheaper quote shows up, they think twice.

Oh, that's Joe. I love Joe. I get his newsletter. He seems like a good guy. I see his team all the time. Let me call him first.
Joe is an example. The point is real: be a person they know, not a faceless business.
What if it was good?

Most insurance newsletters are boring.

Coverage reminders. Policy tips. A stock photo of a family. People skim them once and stop opening them. Ours has one job first: be something your clients enjoy. That is what keeps them opening it.

Happy Wednesday! We've got a poll to vote on, a wild claim story and the most terrifying scam we've ever heard of.

The issue we write · Claim of the week

The Farmer, the Cow, and the iPhone

A livestock farmer in England was helping one of his cows through a difficult nighttime birth. It was dark, it was storming, and he was using his iPhone as a flashlight.

Why a newsletter

The agents who keep clients are the ones who stay in touch.

A newsletter is the one audience you own. It goes to everyone, every time, with no ad bill. Big companies know it, and so do the agencies with the best retention.

84%

is the average agency retention rate

That is roughly one client in six gone every year.

Liberty Mutual study, via IA Magazine, 2026
32% vs 24%

reach out at least monthly

Agencies whose retention improved are more likely to contact clients every month than agencies that stayed flat or slipped.

Same study
$10 to $50

back for every $1 spent on email

That is what 65% of marketers report. Email is still the best-paying channel most businesses have.

Litmus, State of Email 2025

It is why big companies buy newsletters outright: HubSpot bought The Hustle, and Business Insider's parent bought a majority of Morning Brew. An audience that opens your email is worth owning. Yours is your client list.

Save one client you would have lost, or pick up one cross-sale, every few months, and it has paid for itself. Everything after that is yours.

FAQ

Quick answers.

Short version: a newsletter your clients enjoy, twice a month, with your face on it. We do the work.

Do I have to do anything?
No. Sign up, fill out one short form, and every issue goes out with your name and photo on it. It is totally done for you.
Can I add my own content?
Yes, and it is easy. Send us your own story, a team photo, a local business you want to promote or new links through a short form, and we put it in for you. There is no software to log in to.
Is it all about insurance?
No, and that is on purpose. Most insurance newsletters are boring, so people stop opening them. Ours is entertaining first: funny memes, crazy claims with photos and insurance stories worth reading. Insurance is worked in where it is welcome.
How does it help me sell?
Every issue puts one thing you sell in front of your clients, such as auto, homeowners or life insurance. At least once a month there is a friendly nudge to call you for a review. And your clients see your name and face 24 times a year.
How much does it cost?
$300 a month. To start you pay $800: the one-time $200 setup plus your first two months. After that it is month to month, and you can cancel any time.
Who writes it?
We do. Our team runs more than 20 local newsletters read by over 175,000 subscribers, so we know what people open.
What if I already send a newsletter?
If you already send one your clients enjoy, on a steady schedule, you probably do not need us. This is for agents who know they should be in front of their clients and are not.

Be the agent they remember.
