To our valued agents:
As we near the end of 2009, I want once again to express my thanks for your support this year. We are preparing to move into the new year with a continued focus on service. MiniCo has made it a key priority to listen to you, our valued agents, and respond with new products, policy enhancements, and customer initiatives to enhance your experience working with MiniCo.
In the past few weeks, we’ve collected your feedback on our service and products from our annual Agent Satisfaction Survey, and we are currently wrapping up our annual Las Vegas contest. Social media helped us stay connected with many of you this year. If you haven’t found us online, we invite you to view our profiles and join the discussion. More information about the contest and our online networking can be found in the articles below.
We see signs of improvement, but economic challenges will remain in 2010 for the self-storage operator. Our goal will be to continue to provide a quality product at a competitive price. As you know, obtaining the right price for the risk is critical to the long-term sustainability of a program. It is our company’s belief that we have an obligation to the self-storage operator and the agent to underwrite and price for profitability. To support your efforts, MiniCo will continue in 2010 to invest in significant marketing initiatives to promote the specialty insurance programs to self-storage professionals and communicate the value of utilizing their local independent agent. MiniCo will also continue to recognize those agents that have been identified as Select Agents, and we will work diligently to help them build their self-storage books of business.
Thank you for your support and for your business. If you would like more information about MiniCo Insurance, please contact our Customer Care Department at 800-447-8383 or customercare@minico.com.

Mike Schofield President MiniCo Insurance
