How the internet has changed the way we should buy insurance.


How the internet has changed the way we should buy insurance.

The internet has got a lot to answer for, and the way we communicate with each other, even in the same house has been changed by our ease of access to technology. Rarely do families now sit around the lounge actually talking to each other, instead communicating with each other and the outside world through a range of devices including smart phones, tablets and laptop computers. 

The way in which we do our shopping has also changed quite substantially, although many, apart from the shop based retailers, will agree for the better as we can now do our shopping online, or reserve products in a store before visiting ourselves to collect the items we need. We can also compared the price of different products before visiting the shop that sells it the cheapest, something we may have had to do on foot, or over the phone previously.

The biggest difference the online world has made to shopping online comes in the financial market, where the purchasing of insurance products has been totally revolutionized. 

No longer will customers be happy to trust their auto insurer that their renewal quote is good value, simply logging onto an insurance comparison site before comparing the cost of auto insurance from over 100 different providers in one place, thanks to one thirty second search after typing their details in once.

To get the same information 15 years ago would have required a customer to make over 100 different phone calls, giving their details 100 different times and spending so long, and so much on their phone bill that it’s actually no surprise most people chose to stick to the same insurer year after year.
Life insurance has also changed substantially, and in the UK at Life Insurance Quotes we’ve seen a huge increase in the number of customers now using our comparison service to find the cheapest life insurance from a number of the leading life insurance providers, instead of paying a mortgage advisor or financial advisors commission through the price they paid for their life insurance in the first place.

The internet means things will never be the same again, but the whole world has become more accessible, and those who sell the best products, at the right price will inevitably prosper as more and more reviews and recommendations point customers in the direction of their website, and their products.

This is a guest post, I'm guessing from the publicist for the owners of the links.  I checked out the links and they appear harmless.  I accept guest posts that are interesting or make sense.   This makes sense for me as this is how I now shop.   Posting this is not, in any way, an endorsement of the links or the companies they represent.  

If reviewing a product, it may have been received free of charge. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.

Remington RM2510 Rustler 17-Inch 25cc 2-Cycle Curved Shaft Gas Trimmer with QuickStart Technology

I haven't had a gas powered weed wacker for several years.   I still find the mixing of gas and oil a pain in the butt.   Since all my gas cans are in use and I didn't want to empty one to test this, I bought a new one gallon can.   The Remington includes a starter can of oil, 3.2oz which you mix with one gallon of gas.   I'm a direction reader so after reading them several times I began.  I installed the shield and repositioned the handle.   Pretty simple and wing nuts are not just goofy people, these wing nuts worked just fine.   It has a primer bulb which you depress ten times and then adjust the choke and pull away.   It is a very light pull and it started after the third sequence  of five pulls.   You leave it warm up and then you are ready to go.   The bump head that is supposed to release the cutting line works but not smoothly.  I was unable to get it to release line on the grass.  I had to "bump" it on the driveway to get it to release.   I
