Norvax Participates In Employee Benefit Adviser Panel To Discuss What Emerging Social Media Offers Brokers
Jeremiah Desmarais, Norvax vice president of marketing, reviews online social media trends and how they will challenge and empower agents and brokers.
Chicage, IL (PRWEB) August 19, 2008 -- Jeremiah Desmarais, vice president of marketing for Norvax, the #1 provider of technology and Internet tools for insurance sales, discussed the growing importance social media tools for employee benefit consultants and brokers during a webinar panel hosted by Employee Benefit Adviser (EBA) magazine.
The EBA is the leading news source for employee benefit brokers, advisers and consultants in the U.S. The webinar panel was presented to EBA subscribers to review how social media and online networking tools can help employee benefit professionals. EBA Editor Robert Whiddon moderated the discussion.
"Facebook and LinkedIn.com have given everyone a peek into the powerful opportunities social media offers to all marketers, especially employee benefit brokers and consultants," said Desmarais. "But that's just the tip of the iceberg. Social media provides an effective place for brokers looking to network and exchange successful strategies -- as well as to generate more sales leads."
Consumers and businesses are already using the Internet to seek out information for both offline and online purchases. They are now increasingly turning to social media channels, such as blogs, forums and networks, to share information about vendors, products and services.
Desmarais pointed out how Norvax uses a blog on its health insurance website, www.GoHealthInsurance.com, to comment on and deliver the latest health insurance information to consumers. Health insurance shoppers visit these blogs to research their buying decision, but many also share their opinions and observations to make blogs a more interactive experience.
Desmarais also noted that social media provides an online platform for both producers and consumers, and everyone in between. As businesses and consumers continue their move online, employee benefit advisers, brokers and consultants need to be there as well to meet and serve them.
For example, he discussed how Norvax also hosts webinars geared for health insurance agents and brokers, their primary clients. These social media efforts are in addition to the websites, emails and trade show presentations that are part of today's marketing campaigns.
