Cooper’s Review

Dear Clients and Friends,

Welcome to our summer client Newsletter. We appreciate your

business and friendship. It is a privilege to serve you and we

hope there will be at least one item you can take from this

publication that you will find interesting, or helpful.

We are proud to announce that John Moore has earned the

Safeco Insurance Award of Excellence. This award is for

outstanding underwriting performance and partnership with Safeco.

Congratulations, John! We know that John is committed to working with

customers to find the right coverage at the right price, and Safeco

Insurance does too! This award is only given out to a limited number of

independent agents.

Washington Summer is here, and many are not

accustom to working and playing in hot temperatures.

Drink plenty of water

Eat lightly

Doing more strenuous jobs during the cooler

morning hours

Wearing light-colored, cotton clothes and keeping your shirt on. Desert

nomads don't wear all those clothes for nothing.

Avoid caffeine and alcoholic beverages. Many cases of heat exhaustion

occur the day after a "night on the town"

Summer Means It Is Time To Get The Toys Out

When it comes to RV, motorcycle, or boat insurance, having

options can be a very important way to save money. Putting

money back in your pocket is one of our primary goals. There

are few joys greater in life than being able to escape the

daily grind. Regardless of whether you are relaxing on your

boat at the lake, traveling through the Washington coast,

camping with friends and family or enjoying the open road on

the bike of your dreams; you need to take the proper steps

to protect what you have worked so hard to enjoy.

We know and understand the boat, motorcycle and RV insurance market. This allows us to provide you

with the best possible combination of pricing, coverage and service.

Insurance Rates

RV insurance rates differ from company to company, so it really pays to have us shop your

insurance. Some markets offer better rates for trucks, RV and campers, while others can offer

better rates for motorcycles.

How To Save On Toy Insurance

There are many things you can do to keep your auto rates at the lowest level possible.

Review your deductibles. According to the Insurance Information Institute, raising your deductible

to $2,500 could reduce your Collision and Comprehensive costs by 15 to 20 percent.

Look for discounts. There are many different discounts offered by insurance companies. These

include multi-policy, good student, and more.

The kind of RV, boat or motorcycle you own can have an impact on the insurance costs. Do some

research about a RV, before you buy it.

Is your coverage appropriate based on the type of RV you have? If you have an older RV it may

benefit you to consider raising your collision deductibles.

Get your policy up to date. Have you experienced changes like a new address, divorce or marriage?

Call us for a policy review.

Spring Maintenance Tips

Grilling Safety

Summer is here… well

almost. But we know that

many of you may be

getting ready to fire up

your grill. Fire up the

grill, bring on the steak,

it is time to barbecue.

But be safe. Did you

know that there were

over 8,000 home fires

that started form gills? 27% of these were

stated on a balcony or porch. Every year over

7,000 people are injured while grilling.

Clean your gill before you start the new

season.

Always check for leaks on gas grills.

Keep paper and other flammables away from

the grill.

If you use a starter fluid, use only charcoal

starter fluid. Never add charcoal fluid or any

other flammable liquids to the fire.

Never BBQ inside, in a garage, on the roof or

on a second story deck

Never leave your grill unattended.

Never store or use flammable liquids, like

gasoline, near the grill.

Open the grill lid before you light it.

Don’t wear loose fitting clothing.

Keep a fire extinguisher outside or close by.

Never bring the propane tank into the house.

Make sure you use the grill 10 feet away

from your house.

New: The Washington State Department

of Insurance has recently stated that the

maximum gift amount that can be awarded

any one person is $25 in total for a one

year period. We can no longer provide a

larger quarterly award as that violates

their rules.

Here’s how it now works:

If you refer a friend you will receive

a $10 Safeway gift card! (Under the

new regulations, you can only receive

$25 per year). Additionally, we will

continue to pledge $10 per referral

into our charity bank all year long.

If your referral signs a policy with us,

we will pledge an additional $10 into

the charity bank.

At the end of the year, we will draw

2 names from all of the individuals

that have referred business to us

throughout the year. We will then

make a charitable donation on their

behalf to the charity of their choos-

ing.
