New business..

Posted on March 1, 2012 by Scott Smith

We did something a little different this year…we had a booth at the Adult Entertainment Expo in Vegas.  Okay, I know it sounds wild, and really,  it was wild, but from a business marketing plan it worked for us. We were the only insurance agent with a booth. We promoted “toy” insurance for cars, boats, aircraft etc.  We are also working on product liability, commercial general liability, personal life insurance and more.  Specialty insurance products are what we do.

While it might not have been exactly what we anticipated, it was successful.  It was also fun and an experience of a lifetime.  Both my kids (don’t worry, they are 22 and 24) and my partner (and spouse)  helped develop the marketing plan and work the show.  Since they are all involved in the business they had an input into how we would work this event. Question we are always asked…Would I go back?  Yes.

Anyway, if you or anyone you know, needs “toy” insurance or anything else that is unusual, give us a call. We like the specialty markets.

Oshkosh traffic issues.

Posted on June 24, 2011 by Scott Smith

A good friend and fellow EAA (along with he works for the EAA) sent me a note talking about the traffic issues and construction in the area. Thanks Trevor!

Hello,

We have a lot of road construction in and around Oshkosh this year. Here is a map and guide to plan your drive in and out each day.

"Two Weeks To Taxi" Adds Amphib

Posted on February 3, 2011 by Scott Smith

As many of you know, I am a fan of many kit planes and the Glasair Aircraft (Sportsman, Glastar, Glasair) is one.  This is just one more great product added to their line.

This article was reprinted from AVWEB…

Glasair has added an amphibious version of the Sportsman 2+2 to its “Two Weeks to Taxi” program, which provides builders with two weeks of support at the Arlington, Wash., factory. The company is offering an introductory price of $199,000. The Sportsman is “a go-anywhere, do-anything airplane, and it’s fun to fly,” says company president Mikael Via. Two kids can ride in back, or the seats can be quickly removed and provide a roomy space for camping gear, golf clubs or fishing equipment. The amphibious version provides more options for backcountry excursions. The amphib has a useful load of 950 pounds, a cruise speed of 110 knots, and a 600-mile range.

Glasair’s two-week builder-assist program provides a step-by-step building program. Customers get access to the company’s tools and expertise to accelerate build time significantly, “without violating the spirit or intent of the 51-percent rule,” according to Glasair. Owners can choose from a variety of instruments, avionics, engines and propellers. Kitplanes editor Marc Cook built his Sportsman in the program; click here for a 2009 video report on the airplane by AVweb editorial director Paul Bertorelli.
