As we are now well into 2015 with the spring and summer storm seasons quickly approaching, we wanted to inform our Authorized Members of new/expanding tree removal programs that we will be supporting this year.
AAA: While HMI has worked with AAA in the past, over the last 90-120 days our relationship with them has expanded greatly. Through the first 2 months of this year, AAA has generated roughly 30% of our tree removal sales, compared with just 1% during the same period last year. While most of this work was in California we are anticipating high volumes across the country this summer.
Allstate: In February Allstate formally launched a tree removal program with HMI in 42 states. HMI has already received referrals from Oregon to North Carolina and I'm pleased to report that our Members have closed 80% of the Allstate referrals we have received. We expect big things from the Allstate program as they are using HMI's network for daily claim volume as well as following catastrophic events.
Farmers: We are excited as well to be launching a new program in March with Farmers insurance in the following states: Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota. We hope to expand to program beyond these states this summer.
HMI is pleased to make these programs available to our Member's as they represent significant opportunities for the acquisition of new clients.
