EXECUTIVE SAVES MORE THAN $40,000 A YEAR
NSCA member finds “perfect coverage” for his business

CEDAR RAPIDS, IA, November 5, 2007 — Tom Karr was thrilled to learn he would save more than $40,000 per year with his new insurance policy through NSCA‘s SystemsPlus™ Insurance Solutions program. The vice president at Audio Video One in Chicago had no idea his membership would provide such a bonus. NSCA member companies, like Karr‘s, had been requesting insurance relief for quite some time. Last year, NSCA announced the launch of SystemsPlus Insurance Solutions to address this demand.

Karr is in the rental and staging business and needed the proper standard market insurance. Because one of his offices is in Florida, some companies wouldn‘t even consider his business due to potential hurricane damage. Another issue Karr had was insuring people outside his company.

“In our business, if I run out of something, I need to get it from another vendor and they need coverage,” Karr said. “(Now) if I rent something from someone else, they‘re covered.” Not only did Karr save money on his premiums, but he‘ll actually receive more insurance coverage to boot.

Karr said the SystemsPlus coverage was comprehensive. “In a nutshell, it covers everything,” he said. “I don‘t know why anyone would use another insurance company.”

NSCA Senior Director of Member Services Jodi Montgomery wonders that too. “This industry-specific insurance program is a tremendous benefit to NSCA members,” she said. “Current policyholders are saving an average of 20 percent or more over their previous coverage. Plus, SystemsPlus representatives understand what our members do, which is often one of the biggest hurdles in securing the proper coverage for your business. I encourage all members to compare the program to their current insurance programs.”
