Giving to those in need

Instead of doing a traditional gift exchange at our office, our staff decided to participate in the Christmas basket program through Lutheran Community Services (an outreach of the First Lutheran Church). We chose two families to "adopt" and based on their wish lists, we bought both Christmas gifts and grocery items. Staff took an afternoon to wrap the gifts and decorate the boxes, then delivered them to Lutheran Services for distribution. We enjoyed this so much that we've already volunteered for next year.

The Christmas gift basket program starts accepting applications in September. If you're interested in participating, please contact Kim Collum at 937-592-9914 and she'll be happy to get you started. If you're not local, we're confident that programs like this exist elsewhere.

If you're anxious to help sooner than Christmas, Our Daily Bread food pantry (also part of Lutheran Community Services) is always accepting donations of nonperishable and canned items. You can call in advance to see what items they need most- 937-592-6325. Hunger knows no holiday, so next time you're at the grocery, throw a few extra items in your cart. They will be very much appreciated.

The Insurance Goddess appeared as a panelist at PIA of Ohio's 2011 Agency Management and Profitability conference. The session, entitled "Using Technology to Move Forward", offered real-world applications of technology such as social media and e-mail marketing.

The Goddess spoke specifically on personal branding and how she is using it in her community and the world at large, utilizing a variety of social media outlets.

You can read her blog post about the experience.

You can also view PIA of Ohio's event photos on Facebook.

This was truly an honor and a big thanks goes out to PIA of Ohio for asking and allowing The Insurance Goddess to share with the best insurance professionals around.

Erie Insurance recently included an article about The Insurance Goddess in "The Bulletin", their weekly marketing  publication for their agents. We thank Erie for their continued support of our agency and The Insurance Goddess. We couldn't do what we do without our companies help.

2nd Annual Customer Salute

For two days, we honored our customers with our 2nd Customer Salute. We began the celebration with Sweet Treat Thursday and the office was overflowing with homemade goodies such as cookies and cupcakes. The following day was "Thank Goddess It's Friday", with our resident celebrity available for pictures. We served hot dogs (grilled on the spot), chips and drinks to all who dropped by.

Both days offered opportunities to sign up for lots of cool prizes. We thank everyone who joined us and we are truly thankful for your business. We're already making plans for next year! 

If you have any suggestions for next year and/or want to comment on this year's event, head over to our Facebook Page and write on our wall :)

Agency is a stop during "Night at the North Pole"

On December 3 from 5-8 pm, the Downtown Bellefontaine Partnership hosted "Night at the North Pole", a winter wonderland complete with Christmas-themed activities such as horse-drawn wagon rides, cookie decorating with Mrs. Claus, and a live reindeer display. Merchants were open as well, giving away refreshments and small gift items such as craft kits & candy. We gave away hot chocolate and within the first two hours of the event, gave away 500 cups! We thoroughly enjoyed seeing everyone that walked through our doors and thank the Partnership for allowing us to participate.

Second Annual Christmas Open House

On December 9 we opened our doors wide and welcomed customers and friends to an afternoon of homemade cookies & candy and warm drinks. We also gave out freebies such as calendars, tote bags, chip clips and car litterbags. We appreciate everyone who braved the elements to spend the afternoon with us.
