It's Digital Marketing Month!  
 Exclusive Member Social Media & Google Optimization Programs Available Through February 28  

It's no secret that the Internet has fundamentally changed the way many of our consumers research and buy insurance - and that includes how they choose an agent. As this trend continues to grow, those agencies that truly embrace digital marketing as a means to maintaining their competitive advantage are the agencies that will also continue to grow.

 

Given the significant opportunity that lies before us, IIAN, Trusted Choice® and Project CAP have designated February 2013 as Digital Marketing Month and are introducing two new agency marketing programs that have already delivered proven results and new revenue for early adopters.

February is Digital Marketing Month, and Project CAP is offering special digital marketing packages to help agencies and producers connect with consumers online and achieve new levels of success this year. These packages deliver trackable results and generate real business.

 

For more information - including educational videos and peer reviews (including raves from IIAN member agency and early adopter SafetyNet Insurance Services in Central City) - click here!   

 

Don't wait!   Program availability is limited and many of the incentives we've arranged will end February 28. 

Make this the day you make the decision to grow your agency.   Make this the month you start to make it happen!
