LIBERTY, MO – Spectrum Weather and Specialty Insurance, Inc., a leading domestic broker of weather insurance, prize insurance, and other promotion-related insurance, has become a Supplier Member of the Jewelers of America. Serving the weather insurance and prize indemnity needs for retail jewelers across the U.S., Spectrum will develop a greater role in providing for the weather promotion insurance needs of Jewelers of America Members.
The retail jewelry industry has long been a market that has utilized special promotions to attract new clientele and foster new customer relationships. Chief among those promotions are those that are based on the weather, such as wedding day rain, snow on a holiday, the occurrence of a 100 degree temperature on a specified date, or other weather promotion insurance applications. Other popular options are promotions based on the outcome of high-profile sporting events or contests based on more random variables, such as a dice roll or dealt cards.
“We are very excited at the prospect of an enhanced working relationship with the members of the Jewelers of America (JA). It is our goal to help the members come to a better understanding of the applications of weather promotion insurance and prize indemnity insurance, as well as the current availability and overall weather insurance and prize insurance marketplaces”, said Robert Holmes, Spectrum’s founder and President. Most current providers are either agents for a single insurance company, or offer non-insurance options, such as contracts of indemnity. As a specialty broker, Spectrum can offer a variety of options and explain the chief differences between them.
