A History of Choice Since 1896, independent agents have insured
American's homes, farms, businesses and families.
Here's a television ad that ran back in 1984 during the Presidential election.
Do you recognize the actor?
The issue that was important back in 1984 is still important today: CHOICE.
Choice is one of the big differences between independent agents and other
insurance agents. Only independent agents can offer a choice of insurance
policies from a selection of companies. This
ability to choose helps consumers by keeping rates low while providing the
coverage that is right for them.
In 1896, the National Local Association of Fire Insurance Agents started
offering American consumers a choice in their insurance. Over time, the
association evolved and it's name and logo evolved with it.
The current logos for the Independent
Insurance Agents and Brokers of America came out in 2011. Michigan agents
displaying these logos are independently owned businesses carrying on a long
tradition of providing choice in the insurance marketplace.
Exercise your right to choose! Look for
these logos when you are shopping for insurance!
