Smart Marketing

Customized newsletters that reflect your personal brand and image.

Please judge us by our content.

When it comes to client newsletters, content is king. Sure, a newsletter customized for your agency will put your branding in front of clients and prospects on a regular basis. But you also want them to read what you have to say.

And not all content is equal. The content in every issue of a SmartsPro Marketing newsletter is written to reflect the latest risk and insurance developments and trends that affect your clients. Each issue contains valuable information that your clients can use, information that will reflect your expertise and professionalism.

Before buying, compare our newsletters to those of any of our competitors. We think you’ll agree that if you truly care about the quality of the content that will represent your firm, you’ll choose a SmartsPro Marketing newsletter.

Format options to support any content need you may have.

We can provide your newsletter in print, several different electronic formats or both print and electronic. There are certain advantages and disadvantages to each format. If you also wish to use your newsletter content for social media, blogging or website posting, we offer a variety of formats:

  • PDF
  • Word.doc
  • HTML unbundled — without a style sheet; for adapting articles to your blog or social sites
  • HTML bundled — featuring inline styling to support your header and intros to each article with links to the full article; use this option for posting the entire newsletter to your website with reader-friendly functionality
  • HTML+ — a turnkey service that sends your email newsletter to your list and provides in-depth analysis of who receives and opens your newsletter, which articles they read and detailed information about bounces.
  • Finally, we can also package any SmartsPro newsletters into one of our custom-built websites. These are powerful websites built exclusively for insurance agents with all the features you need to launch an Internet marketing plan that will drive new business to you and build long-term relationships. Get all the details on SmartsPro custom agent websites here.

We now also offer a limited-use Word Doc/HTML format and license you can use strictly for social media and blog posting.  (This feature is included free with our full service electronic and Business Class print editions.)

We give you plenty of newsletter choices, too.

We offer a number of property & casualty and life & health newsletter titles. If you serve different niche markets, you may need more than one newsletter. You may also wish to rotate between different titles. We can customize your newsletter, your format and your newsletter schedule in just about any way you want.

Print vs. Electronic — What’s the right choice for you?

Print: When you want to make a strong impression, you can’t beat a quality printed newsletter. When you send your client newsletter in print format, recipients will hold it…open it…turn the pages. They can highlight articles, make notes and pass it along to a colleague. And even if they don’t read it, they will see your branding and know you value them as clients. With the ubiquity of email, postal mail has become the premium delivery mode. If your marketing budget is limited and you can’t afford print for your entire marketing list, we recommend sending your printed newsletters to a qualified list of prospects as a door-opener. Used in this way, a print newsletter can be a valuable addition to your firm’s business-building arsenal!

Electronic: The best part about email marketing is it’s cheap. You can send thousands of copies of your newsletters at virtually no cost. But cheaper has its downside. If your newsletter makes it past the spam filters, will recipients actually read it? If recipients don’t know you, what are the chances they’ll open your messages? Further, if you’re constantly mass emailing and not keeping your lists clean, spam filters will start bouncing messages from you.

That’s why we recommend using email only for a selected list of those clients and prospects who’ve opted to receive email communications from you. That way, you’ll be reaching people who want to hear from you—people who read email—and saving money.

Both: By combining print and electronic marketing, you get the best of both worlds. Quality, image, reach and cost-efficiency. For suggestions on incorporating a Smart’s client newsletter into your firm’s prospecting and client retention programs, please contact us today!

How Can I Use Newsletters to Effectively Market My Firm?

Client confidence grows with familiarity through brand recognition. We help you get your brand in front of your clients on a regular basis.

But that’s not enough. Your publications need to prompt readers to take action. Each issue of your Smart’s client newsletter will remind readers that you are the expert, and urges them to turn to you when they need more information or advice.

Smart’s brings another competitive edge to your marketing efforts by letting you tailor your newsletter’s content to your firm’s needs. You can introduce special programs and key personnel. Celebrate accomplishments and accolades. And let your clients and prospects know you’re the expert in their industry and your geographic area!

  • Testimonial
  • "The thought of creating from scratch a regular-scheduled customer newsletter, complete with industry updates and relevant articles as well as my insurance brokerage firm's news, is daunting. If I didn't have Smart's Publishing to rely on for the researching, writing and laying-out of our Insurance Buyer's News newsletter, all my time would go toward its production.

    What I like most is its flexibility; I can include as many or as few articles and pictures of my own as I want. If my company has news or an event that I'd like to share with customers, then I can customize our newsletter with self-written articles. Or I can leave it entirely up to Smart's Publishing to produce my company's newsletter, and it's sure to include timely information that is valuable to our customers."
