Protect Your Jewelry Gifts with Jewelry Floater Policy with Encharter

The holidays are coming and what are some of our favorite gifts? Jewelry! However the Jewelry Insurance Brokerage of North America warns us about jewelry purchased from ‘big-box’ retailers and department stores. Their warning comes from the appraisals that you receive when you purchase a new piece. Many times you will see a piece of jewelry from one of these stores accompanied b y a GIA (Gemological Institute of America) certificate and an appraisal. The GIA grades the stones and describes them for color, cut and clarity but they do not assign values. Often these appraisals are done by a third party who provides inflated appraisals over the real value and should be watched out for.

If you receive a new piece of jewelry for the holidays you should have it appraised by a reputable, local jeweler. At Encharter Insurance we can then help you get the coverage you need for your jewelry. Many Watertown CT homeowner’s insurance policies provide limited coverage for jewelry and do not cover the loss of a stone or the piece itself. With a jewelry floater insurance policy from Encharter Insurance you have more comprehensive coverage and we can insure that your jewelry is protected.

Moving? Let Encharter Insurance Make It Easier!

While moving can be scary and stressful, it can also be very exciting. I moved this past March and there were certainly some aspects that I could have lived without. But, I will admit that the overall experience was fun because it was the beginning of a new chapter. One thing that I find most interesting about the process is learning more about the community into which you are moving: the history of the area, where the best places to eat are, and, if you’re a parent, determining the quality of the school system. A good way to do that would be to check the average standardized test scores of the state and/or town in question.

On July 16, the Hartford Courant issued an article based on the 2010 Connecticut Mastery Test scores. The article reports on general improvement of scores of elementary and middle school students in Connecticut. If you are new to Connecticut, or new to an area in Connecticut, be sure to check out this article and use the links it has to investigate the school system in the area.

Another thing to keep in mind while you are preparing for your big move is insurance. Encharter Insurance can help you with all of your personal insurance needs for CT Homeowner’s Insurance, CT Car Insurance, CT Life Insurance and even CT Business Insurance.  We are an independent agency, which means that we can take care of the policy shopping for you and you can be sure you’re getting the best possible policy for the best possible price.

“It’s The End Of The World As My Business Knows It” in New Haven

Owning and running a small business is a lot of work and it takes a special kind of person. If you are one of those people, you know exactly what I am talking about. You’ve also discovered that traditional methods of marketing your business are increasingly more expensive and increasingly less effective. So what is a small business to do?

 Well, like you, Encharter Insurance is a small business and, like you, we had to figure out new ways of increasing our brand awareness. We have found that the key is to leverage the power of the Internet. More and more of your customers and prospects are researching and shopping for products and services online, using Google© as the new phonebook. If you know that’s true, and that Youtube© is the second largest search engine in the world, and that Facebook© sees more web traffic than any other website, shouldn’t your company be on the Internet where the majority of your clients are spending their time? Yes! And we are here to help you figure out how.

Come to our social media seminar, “It’s The End of the World As My Business Knows It”, at the Greater New Haven Chamber of Commerce at 8am on July 29. Not only will we show you why social media networking and digital marketing has become one of the most effective ways to increase your brand awareness, boost your search engine optimization (and, thus, boost your Google© Search Results rating), but we will show you HOW you, as a small business owner, can leverage this tool for your competitive advantage.

 If you’re interested in learning more, be sure to RSVP by July 22^nd by email to EndoftheWorld@encharter.com or you can call 888-865-1244.
