An increasing number of consumers are now looking to compare insurance rates in an effort to cut costs, and Potrero Media (http://www.potreromedia.com) is responding to the new demand by ramping up its consumer outreach efforts.
Insurance Options in a Down Economy
According to Forbes, unemployment rates have risen 61% since 2007. At the same time, the Insurance Information Institute reports that hospital costs rose 7.4% in 2008 alone. As a result,
consumers are more frequently evaluating health insurance, life insurance, auto insurance and home insurance options. Insurance shoppers have found that by researching and then comparing
quotes, they can find the right coverage at the right price. A recent poll on Health-Insurance.org (http://www.health-insurance.org) showed
that 53% of consumers surveyed feel affordability is the single most important factor when choosing a health plan. By specializing in providing technology that matches consumers
requesting insurance quotes and information with insurance carriers, Potrero helps both consumers and insurance clients be as flexible as they need to be in this down economy. Potrero
provides something that is unique in this industry - the agility to support the marketing needs of large insurance carriers, the sales needs of individual agents, and the
comparison-shopping needs of the consumer. Our infrastructure, built from the ground up using our own industry experience and the feedback of thousands of clients, is optimized to add

Consumers Find Comparing Options to Be the Best Money-Saver

without insurance can be risky, but more and more Americans are choosing to do so in our current economy. Potrero Media strives to provide these consumers with the tools they need to get
