It sells, quietly

Something you sell, in every issue.

Each issue puts one policy in front of your clients: auto, homeowners, life. Short, friendly and never pushy.

At least once a month there is a nudge to call you for a review. Have you checked on your life insurance lately? Any life changes we should know about? We might be able to save you money.

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.

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.

$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.

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.

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.
How often does it mention something I sell?
Every issue features one line, such as auto, homeowners or life insurance. At least once a month there is a prompt to call you for a policy review.

Be the agent they remember.

Two issues a month, with your name and face on them. Totally done for you.
