Top Effective Tips For Purchasing Affordable Car Insurance

Leave a comment


News Image

“Getting cheap car insurance is not that hard. Clients should check insurance guides and get free quotes, online,” said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Autocarsinsurancetips.com has released a new blog that explains how to get cheap car insurance coverage, just by following a few simple tips

For more info and free quotes, visit https://autocarsinsurancetips.com/5-tips-for-buying-inexpensive-car-insurance/

Getting affordable car insurance is not that complicated. Of course, there are strict prerequisites. Even people labeled as high-risk drivers can find ways to lower the costs. Shopping around, using the online quotes provided by http://autocarsinsurancetips.com will help drivers compare prices and choose wisely.


  • Safety is extremely important for insurance companies. And for drivers, of course. When analyzing a car, insurance companies will look for accident statistics involving that car model, recent recalls and safety ratings. Choosing a car with really good scores will help drivers get coverage easier and cheaper.

  • Keeping a clean driving record is imperative. Driving history is probably the most important factor when determining the premiums. A driver with spotless records can even get access to some discounts and save money.

  • Bundle policies. We all know that brining more business to a company will convince them to provide some discounts. This is also true for car insurance agencies. The more, the better. However, it is wise to check if bundling policies will help to get lower costs, when compared with getting individual insurance services.

  • Drive less than the average. Low mileage discounts are really valuable and can save the client a lot of money. But first, the client must ask the limits for this type of discount. One insurer may ask the client to drive less than 100.000 miles/year, while other may ask 90.000 miles.

Autocarsinsurancetips.com is an online provider of life, home, health, and auto insurance quotes. This website is unique because it does not simply stick to one kind of insurance provider, but brings the clients the best deals from many different online insurance carriers. In this way, clients have access to offers from multiple carriers all in one place: this website. On this site, customers have access to quotes for insurance plans from various agencies, such as local or nationwide agencies, brand names insurance companies, etc.

Leave a comment


“With triple-digit year-over-year customer growth, Sendoso’s rapid adoption has made it an essential tool for market leaders in technology, real estate, insurance, and more,” said Sendoso CEO and Co-Founder Kris Rudeegraap


SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB)

Sendoso, the leading Sending Platform (SP) for sending anything and personalizing at scale, today announced the hirings of Qaseem Shaikh as Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Sam East as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO), and Rizwan Ansary as Vice President of Product.

“With triple-digit year-over-year customer growth, Sendoso’s rapid adoption has made it an essential tool for market leaders in technology, real estate, insurance, and more,” said Sendoso CEO and Co-Founder Kris Rudeegraap. “These strategic hires join Sendoso at a key time in our company’s growth and we know they’ll play an important role in enabling our customers to make more human connections in a digital world.”

In his role as CTO, Shaikh will lead engineering development and growth for Sendoso. He previously served as vice president of engineering at Thanx and Zenefits, where he distributed engineering teams for the company’s revenue-generating businesses. An early engineer at Amazon Web Services, Shaikh brings almost two decades of experience in engineering and technical leadership.

“As we enter 2020, it is clear that there will be a larger adoption of direct marketing strategies,” said Shaikh. “The prices of digital ads continue to rise and marketing automation tools are delivering lower conversion rates. Sendoso found that businesses increased the number of items sent by 66% year-over-year in 2018. This figure signals a growing need from the market for an automated and intelligent way to execute physical marketing tactics.”

East will oversee the sales leadership of Sendoso and is responsible for company revenue growth as CRO. Prior to joining Sendoso, he served as the senior vice president of sales for Entelo, where he grew revenue 10X in three years. Originally from the U.K., East began his sales leadership career with LoopNet, which IPOed in 2006 and was acquired by CoStar Group in 2011 for almost $1 billion.

“I joined Sendoso because I believe the team is building a transformative platform for connecting with customers on a personal level,” said East. “In the new year, companies will need to enact a predictive methodology for finding new customers. Gone are the days where marketers can blast out a message and hope that it will stick. Leveraging Sendoso enables companies to find customer touch points throughout the buyer’s journey that make them stand out in a digitally fatigued world.”

Ansary will direct all product efforts at Sendoso in his role as VP of Product. He has more than a decade of experience in software product development, including seven years at Bing. Ansary also worked in various roles at CreditKarma, Postmates and HackerRank.

“In the coming year, customer experience is set to overtake price and product as the key brand differentiator,” said Ansary. “We are ready to help brands take the next step in enhancing their customer experience with Sendoso.”

The hirings cap a year of growing momentum for Sendoso that featured notable award wins, including being named a Cool Vendor in Technology Marketing by Gartner as well as winning both a 2019 “Sammy” Award and Stratus Award from the Business Intelligence Group. Sendoso was also named a Winter 2019 Leader in multiple categories including Account-Based Execution on G2 Crowd and was ranked 44th on Growjo’s Fastest Growing Companies in San Francisco.

Why Car Insurance Quotes Are Really Important For Drivers

Leave a comment


News Image

“Getting quotes online will help you find the best coverage options available in your area. Just by spending several minutes online, comparing prices and you can save hundreds of dollars” said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Compare-autoinsurance.org has released a new blog post that explains the importance of obtaining and comparing online car insurance quotes.

For more info and free quotes, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/how-important-are-online-car-insurance-quotes/

Car insurance quotes have become a necessity. They provide valuable estimates and allow the customer to select a policy that meets his financial expectations. Now, customers can get multiple quotes online, by simply accessing http://compare-autoinsurance.org.

Nobody can deny the importance of price estimates. Without the proper knowledge, we would be tempted to buy the first policy we find. There are several reasons for which car insurance quotes are really important:


  • They provide accurate estimates. Contrary to many people’s beliefs, online car insurance quotes can be really accurate. The tricks is to fill in a form that has multiple questions for each relevant category: demographic and social factors, driving experience and record, car make and model and coverage options. In order to get accurate quotes, a client must provide accurate and honest info.

  • They are easy to obtain. Online quotes can be obtained from any place of the world, as long as the client has a good internet connection and a compatible device. In this way, a client can skip numerous meetings with agents and face numerous weather and traffic adversities. Online quotes are not dependent on a shop’s schedule and clients can get them at any hour of day or night,

  • They are free. Online quotes are usually offered for free by insurance companies that want to provide full transparency on their prices. Using an insurance agent involves paying him, if not directly, then indirectly, from an obtained policy. Companies pass the agent’s salary cost to their clients.

  • They can be easily customized. The submit form used to obtain quotes has numerous customization options. This allows the client to modify some coverage parameters, like increasing or decreasing coverage amount or deductibles, and get a policy suitable for his budget.

Compare-autoinsurance.org is an online provider of life, home, health, and auto insurance quotes. This website is unique because it does not simply stick to one kind of insurance provider, but brings the clients the best deals from many different online insurance carriers.

What Details Should Be Analyzed Before Renewing Car Insurance

Leave a comment


News Image

“Before renewing, spend some time analyzing what has changed since the last renewal and if you will pay more or less.” said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Renewing car insurance is important for any policyholder. The alternative is to switch carrier at the right time. Otherwise, having a coverage lapse will make drivers pay more expensive premiums. Before making any change, make sure to get car insurance quotes and compare prices. Use http://www.lowcostcarsinsurance.com to get free car insurance quotes online.

There are a few things to analyze before renewing the contract:


  • Available budget. Check if the rates have increased and they are now more expensive than you can afford. If the income is the same, but the rates are higher, you should give the insurance company a call and seek ways to negotiate and an explanation of the higher premiums.

  • Look for major changes. Some major lifestyle and age change deeply impact the insurance premiums. Some of them can even improve the rates. Top influential changes include moving to a new neighborhood, getting married, driving less to work.

  • Traffic violations. Recent violations will surely increase insurance costs. The company will conduct its own research before renewing and will surely find out about the wrongdoings.

  • Car modifications. If you added new parts to the car, check how the customization will impact the insurance cost. Some devices will make the car cheaper to insure, while others (usually performance boosters) will have a negative effect.

Nest Opportunity Fund Launches in the Midwest

Leave a comment


News Image

On the surface, the concept of an OZ investment seems like a no-brainer for an investor looking for excellent tax benefits and returns with minimal involvement. But if you dig deeper, you discover that communities will benefit greatly from these investments.


COLUMBUS, Ohio (PRWEB)

Beacon Hill Investment Advisory is pleased to announce the establishment of The Nest Opportunity Fund for investors in Central Ohio. The Opportunity Zone (OZ) investment program is designed to deliver a significant return on investment while providing a valuable service for low income residential areas. The OZ targets single-family and smaller multi-family homes for renewal and works closely with the communities to maintain the culture and character of the individual neighborhoods.

“The real estate we focus on is located in Midwest cities with favorable demographics that include stable and diverse employment, potential for population growth, and other criteria including advantageous pricing and rent,” said Clint Edgington, Partner, Beacon Hill Investment Advisory.” We partner with thoroughly vetted, respected contractors who specialize in managing multiple property upgrade projects at once. These homes are built to last, complete with solid wood cabinets, upgraded appliances, tankless water heaters and a catalog of other amenities to help improve the lives of residents.”

The OZ Investment program works like this. Normally, a profit resulting from the sale of an asset is taxed at a maximum capital gains rate of 20 percent. However, in 2017, Congress passed legislation that gives taxpayers the option of deferring payment of capital gain taxes until the end of 2026 by putting that profit into an OZ Fund that reinvests the proceeds. If invested for five years, original capital gains tax liability is reduced by 10 percent, with an additional five percent if proceeds are invested for seven years. The amount of tax deferred becomes due and payable in 2026. If the OZ Fund investment is held for at least ten years, then the Fund’s sale of its OZ property will be treated by the IRS as 100% tax-free. All OZs are scheduled to expire at the end of 2028, but investments made prior to this expiration date will continue to accrue tax-free gains until 2047.

“On the surface, the concept of an OZ investment seems like a no-brainer for an investor looking for excellent tax benefits and returns with minimal involvement,” Edgington continued. “But if you dig deeper, you discover that communities will benefit greatly from these investments. In addition, we’ve also secured grant funding in a public/private partnership.

It’s a win-win for everyone. Investors should recognize, however, that not all OZ funds are created equal. As always, they should carefully review investment decisions with trusted advisers.”

To receive the full benefit of the OZ Fund, investors must invest by year-end 2019. To learn more about the OZ Fund opportunities offered by Beacon Hill, go to nestopportunityfund.com.
