The Facebook and social network users buying group has the early signs of being a hit at InsurancePen. It has just been launched and traffic is picking up almost without any effort to market the program.
The group was created as an afterthought. InsurancePen had integrated Facebook Connect to ease the registration process and information sharing utility for our users. It was only after this that interest was shown to actually create a group for these users specifically.
The focus of the first social networking group is on personal lines insurance including auto insurance. The reason being the first traffic from Facebook is focused in this area. In the future InsurancePen has plans to add business insurance buying groups for the social networking groups that have formed at Facebook or at other niche websites.
InsurancePen is the first website for insurance that allows the users to form and create their own groups to leverage their negotiating power. It seems a natural fit for the activity at social networking sites that already group people together for their communications.
Look for more activity in this area, and check out the new group by clicking here. If this gets your imagination going, let the people over at InsurancePen know what your ideas are for creating a group of your own. There are a lot of insurance carriers very interested in marketing to the demographics of these social networking sites.
