Insurance is one of those monthly/annual bills that really annoys a lot of people (myself included!). You pay for home-owners insurance, renter’s insurance, car insurance, life insurance (and more), hoping you never need to use it, so you get frustrated seeing all that money flying out the window. But…if you really do have something happen, you are certainly glad you have it. Even a little crimp in a car bumper seems to cost over $1000 to fix these days. If you have any Insurance Agency advertisers, you better believe that there is a lot of co-op funding available to them to utilize in their advertising.
DID YOU KNOW? – The origin of Insurance was marriage engagement!
Over time, the word evolved to become ‘assurance’ developing into ‘insurance’ with its modern meaning. The official concept of the term insurance can be traced back to ancient civilizations. In fact, the first known Insurance Contract was signed in 1347 in Genoa, Italy.
