The Messages:
‣ When you know who you're writing to, and
what they're interest is, it gets easier.
‣ "The right message, to the right person, at
the right time.”

Best Practices:
‣ Subject Lines:
‣ Title Case bumps response
‣ “HaveYou Been Sued Before?”

Best Practices:
‣ Personalization:
‣ 22% bump in open rate. 
(MarketingProfs,“10 Best Email Practices”)
‣ “Liam, AboutYour Car Insurance.”

Best Practices:
‣ Body Copy:
‣ Write conversationally, like a HUMAN.
‣ “Hi, Bob. I was looking over your insurance files
this morning. I'm really uncomfortable about
something. Can we talk for a minute or two?”
‣ Deliver on the promise.
‣ The subject line is the "set up.”- Deliver quickly.
‣ (and use power words, not weakling words)

Subj: “I'm worried about your family's protection.”
‣ “Bob, maybe I worry too much! 
But I go a little nuts when my clients have their
insurance plan helter-skelter all over the place. 
Maybe I'm wrong, but I think your insurance
plan is uncoordinated. 
And that can be dangerous. 
Here's why”…

Subject lines, words, matter.
155,000 subject lines, corresponding
to a total of 24.6 billion emails sent
(and growing), making this the
biggest study of its kind.

Best Practices:
‣ Less is (usually) more.
‣ 20% less than average.
‣ Get to the point.

Best Practices:
‣ Responsive design, or don't bother.
‣ Your website.

Best Practices:
‣ Use "power words"
‣ “I'm nervous about your situation.”
‣ “I'd be worried in your situation.”
‣ “This can hurt you financially.”

Welcome Kit

Lead Follow Up

Lead Conversion

Cross Sell Campaign
‣ Any "A" but not“B.”
‣ Almost unlimited opportunity.

Account Review

Claims Campaign
‣ When your customers are stressed, 
(and we're usually out of the loop) 
and they most need a friend.
‣ Triggered by a claim.

Lost LeadWarming Campaign
‣ The single most expensive mistake in
insurance marketing:
‣ Throwing out unsold leads.
‣ Statistically, high probability prospects.

Account Renewal Campaign
‣ Start 90 days out.
‣ Step 1: "Positive Feelings" survey.
‣ Then drive them to a landing page.
‣ Boost retention.
‣ Boost policy/customer.
‣ Reduce E&O.

Lost Soul Reactivation Campaign
‣ Tell them you're sorry.
‣ Ask what it will take.
‣ Drive them to a landing page.
‣ Again… statistically speaking, high
probability prospects.

Nurturing Messages
‣ This is the fertilizer that grows everything else.
‣ Safety, protection, care, personality, useful
information.
‣ Agency‘A’ v.s. agency‘B’
‣ “Why does he get better response than me?”

Disaster Preparedness Campaign
‣ Hurricane, Earthquake, wildfire, tornado,
flood, etc., etc.
‣ “I know you probably think I worry too much.
But that's my job, because I'm worrying
about you. About my clients, their families,
their businesses. 
So...here's what I'm getting at.When disaster
strikes, it's too late to prepare for it…"

"If all we’re doing is defending the status quo,
the game is over"
