Buy Local… Insurance

 

The Buy Local movement, a strong and growing force in New Hampshire’s economy, reminds people of the many benefits of doing business locally: local businesses employ local people, support other local businesses, volunteer for and give to local charities, and are more likely to spend their profits locally as well.  A growing number of people factor in this “big-picture” mentality when considering the overall value of a given good or service.  While the buy local movement is best known for promoting local food and small retail shops in downtown areas, the same thinking can and should be applied to local professional service providers, such as local, independent insurance agents.

 

All the reasons listed above for buying local apply to insurance as well: An independent agent provides significant local professional employment, supports other local businesses, and dedicates resources to worthy non profit organizations, while keeping earned profits within the community. Additionally, a local insurance agent understands the risks here in New Hampshire and can help customers obtain an appropriate level of insurance coverage, neither more nor less than they need.  With access to multiple respected insurance carriers (most agents handle at least eight different carriers), rates for most customers are similar to, or significantly less than, dealing directly with one national carrier.  And when it comes time for a change, or a claim, the local agent is locally available to guide their insureds through that process.
