News & Views: March Madness

Newsletter – Wednesday, April 1, 2015
Basketball

Some believe March madness is a basketball state of mind. I believe it is the condition that overtakes us when we’ve had just about all the winter dreary-wearies we can handle. Here in Western PA we enjoy all four seasons but around the end of March we go just a little nuts waiting for ‘true spring’ to arrive.

My brother-in-law is an amazing guy and there is no one I know that is more of an all-around fan of nearly every sport – he loves them all! He recently commented that these next 2 weeks of April are his absolute favorite time of the year. In his ‘single-guy’ days it would look something like this: watch NCAA men’s basketball finals Friday and Saturday. Maybe get a first round of golf in for the year on Sunday, go to opening day of baseball Monday and then watch the NCAA finals Monday night, take 2 days to rest and then OD on the Master’s golf tournament. Sigh – it is a sports junkie’s heaven.

Having a ‘smorgasbord’ of options is a great way to satisfy ourselves. When it comes to sports, ESPN may just be the most important institution around. When it comes to E&S business, I am hoping Tuscano is the institution you rely on to satisfy your insurance brokerage needs. If there was an ESPN for insurance (I’d call it Extraordinary Service Producer’s Network) I would like Tuscano to be that channel.

If you know much about Tuscano or have been doing business with us for any length of time, I’ll bet you can relate to the wide variety and complexity of business that we can help you place. In the Tuscano Network, we have excellent markets to work with – both binding and brokerage. That means our professional team of underwriters has options when working with you on your client’s unique insurance needs.

Now that spring is officially here and the Easter holiday is around the corner, think about how we can serve you with all of your seasonal accounts. We can write everything from a vacation home to a taco truck. We love to help you with the special short-term events going on in your town and we definitely can help with the contractors and tradesmen whose businesses will be ramping up as the weather warms. Of course we love to help you with motorsports, watersports and everything else your clients bring you that are classified as ‘toys’.

Please note that Tuscano will be closed this Friday, April 3rd for the Easter holiday. We’ll be back at our desks and ready to write your business bright and early on Monday.

Happy Spring!
