We discontinued this program a few years ago due to the fact that we
were not informed by Hobbs/Herder Insurance Marketing Systems of a hefty
renewal licensing fee at the time we signed up for the program.
This bait and switch tactic alienated many agents who signed up for
the program the same time that we did and I am not aware of anyone in
our original group who continued with the program.
There was also an issue with some agents who purchased the canned
advertising program due to the fact that an expensive desktop publishing
program needed to be purchased before you could view, manipulate, or
print the files.
This program is expensive in both time and money and the insurance
department here in Utah is of the opinion that this program is rebating
and therefore illegal.
If are contemplating using this program, I would strongly recommend
clearing it with your respective state insurance authority before you
invest any time or money. Nothing ruins a business faster than
making commitments that you find out later that you cannot keep.
If you would like further information, please give me a call. You can
also contact Jan Shaw at the Utah Insurance Department. You can reach
her at (801) 538-3290 or by e-mail at jshaw@utah.gov.
Use extreme caution when dealing with this
company.
