Progressive Auto Insurance

GEICO, the Government Employees Insurance Company, and Esurance Insurance Services, Inc are two auto insurance based in the United States. In their advertisement, GEICO features a piglet, Maxwell, attempting to obtain a driver’s license from a snarky old clerk using the insurance information on his phone. On the other hand, Esurance depicts an elderly woman, Beatrice, in the process of showing her friends her “wall”when, in good faith, her friends corrects her, causing Beatrice to “unfriend” her. GEICO and Esurance, in attempts of persuasion, use pathos, ethos, and logos to sell their product

Through the use of a celebrity endorsement, Progressive gains the trust of the audience before even having to mention anything about their company. Many view celebrities as a credible source, so with the use of Michael Buffer in their commercial, Progressive is reaching a wider variety of potential customers. If a viewer wasn’t necessarily interested in the company before and then see an influential celebrity supporting the company, it may be powerful enough for the viewer to consider the use of the company and their

Besides the product and geographical focus, Progressive also emphasizes on strengthening the relationship with the over 14,000 agents to distribute its products and services. By discipline pricing, Progressive demands adequate rates to achieve underwriting profitability and is willing to forego volume if necessary to achieve profit objectives.

In addition, they will promptly respond to claims reported by local claim adjusters, which deliver effective control of the claim resolution process.

The United States require every driver to have car insurance in order to drive legally in the United States. The problem, however, is choosing the right one. Two of the major companies today are Allstate and State Farm. In the Allstate commercial, a man portrays “Mayhem” to show drivers the risks they experience while driving on the road. The man says he is modeling a blind spot, explaining that drivers may not see what hides in them, resulting in an accident. In the State Farm commercial, two situations are on display, one of which a teenage girl getting her first car, and the other a grown man getting his car broken into, demonstrating that State Farm is there for everyone. To endorse their product effectively, both of these brands apply pathos, ethos, and logos to their commercials.

The target audience for this commercial is car owners. If you are too young to own a car, an insurance agency advertising car insurance will not interest you. A person who does not own a car might get a kick out of the humor in the commercial but will not bother thinking about the commercial much further.

The Progressive culture has historically tried to emphasize the client with a “Fast, Fair, Better” mantra. A review of the change in vision shows that it has been changed significantly in the recent past from a long winded mission like statement as shown in Progressive (2016a) to a simple and clean “Become consumers’ number one choice and destination for auto and other insurance” as shown in

Today, advertising is as much a part of our lives as breathing. Whether we’re driving, listening to the radio, or watching T.V we are constantly being bombarded by thousands of companies telling us why we should buy their products or services. Some advertisements prove to be effective, while others can be easily dismissed. One very popular industry in advertisement is auto insurance. Every year companies like Geico, State Farm, and All State invest millions of dollars, hoping to convince audiences that their service is better than their competitors. Because auto insurance is a requirement for every single individual who owns a vehicle it is a very competitive market where various ad campaigns can be found. State Farm stands out amongst

In conclusion, car insurance is not just another thing that you need to buy just because it is the law. Car insurance can be helpful in the most unexpected situation that will ever happen. GEICO tries to tell us this by basically using a metaphor. That they can be your friend when you need them the most. Just like a real life friend, but they use squirrels and a station wagon to get this point across. I hope by the time that you read this last sentence that you will understand this commercial better now. The way that I do, maybe you might even laugh a little bit like I

While choosing a representative to speak to an item, advertisers can either pick a big name or make a representative. An advertiser who makes spokespersons can control their improvement by giving them qualities that are both compelling with the intended interest group and compatible with alluring attributes of the embraced item.

Changes in tax laws, government benefit programs, and other State and Federal regulations can affect the insurance needs of clients and how agents conduct business (Abraham & Herman, 1998). Courses in psychology, sociology, and public speaking can prove useful in improving sales techniques (Abraham & Herman, 1998).
