Advertising Reminders
Any type of sales or advertising materials, including print ads, TV
or radio scripts, flyers, or direct mail pieces must be submitted to
the Home Office for written approval prior
to publication or use. Please allow two to three weeks for the
review and evaluation of your piece. If state approval is required,
expect additional delays. Some tips for getting your piece approved:
1. Clearly identify the full name of the Company, United American
Insurance Company, at least once in the body of the
advertisement, preferably near the top.
2. If the advertisement is for a Medicare Supplement policy, you
must also include the
Medicare disclaimer at the end of the piece in no smaller than
10-point type. The disclaimer should read: United American
Insurance Company is not associated with Medicare, Social Security,
or any other government agency.
3. Clearly identify the products and services mentioned in the sales
piece.
4. Use words and concepts that your intended audience can clearly
understand. Avoid "industry" terms that the average person
would not know. Also, avoid using ambiguous terms such as
"comprehensive," "the best," or "the
only."
5. Use only the most recent facts and figures available when citing
general financial information or statistics about the Company, its
products, or its ratings. Always provide the source and date for any
statistic, and source dates should not be more than two years old. |
