Say, “¡Hola!” to New Customers – Independent auto insurance agents now have even more tools from Progressive to grow their Hispanic business.

The Hispanic population is growing three times faster than the general market in the U.S. Now, agents have even more ways to grow their business with this rapidly emerging market, thanks to new tools from Progressive.

Progressive, the largest writer of auto insurance for Hispanics through independent agents and brokers in the U.S., is rolling out a suite of informational and co-branded Hispanic advertising materials exclusively for its agents. These tools are being introduced this week in conjunction with the Independent Insurance Agents of Texas (IIAT) annual conference in Austin, Texas.

“This robust package of materials was developed to be culturally relevant and meaningful for this demographic” said Jonathan Klein, Hispanic marketing manager for Progressive. “With resources to support private passenger and commercial auto, as well as special lines, agents now have access to everything from signage for community events to co-branded advertising materials and handouts for customers that easily explain insurance”
