The 2024 AEP Toolkit was created for insurance agents looking for new Medicare prospects. Available free of charge for agents listed on the Association’s Find A Local Medicare Agent online directory. The toolkit that contains professionally prepared press releases is available for non-listed agents for $149.
The annual package of marketing tools has been updated for 2024. We’ve added a few items that should make material of particular interest to community newspapers.
Agents listed on the Association’s directory will receive notification via email. Those who wish to purchase should call the organization at 818-597-3227.
Seniors still read newspapers. Especially the many free community newspapers that contain local news. The toolkit contains professionally prepared press releases that you can personalize and provide to local newspapers.
Local newspapers like to print local news and information that is of value to readers in the community. The press releases satisfy both. Local news, local expertise and very relevant information for senior readers.
When a newspaper publishes a news story, there is no charge to be included. That’s called free publicity. And, best of all, it’s something you can do. We show you how. Plus we give you the professionally prepared tools to make it happen.
Yes, it is. Agents listed on the Association’s FIND A LOCAL MEDICARE AGENT online directory get it free. It’s primarily for AEP 2024. But if you read this after AEP is over you can still request the toolkit. The first release is good anytime (not just during AEP).
As we explained previously, agents who are NOT listed as part of the Association’s directory, can purchase the kit for $149. But a 1-year listing on the Association’s directory costs only $189. Plus, being listed gives you the opportunity to be contacted by seniors searching for a local Medicare agent. The directory gets especially heavy usage during Medicare AEP.

We’ve done the part most insurance agents are afraid of doing. That’s writing press releases that will be of interest to newspaper editors. They decide what gets printed. And what doesn’t.
The press releases are written by Jesse Slome. That’s me and I spent a career undertaking highly successful campaigns for major companies. Yup, I was one of the publicity people responsible for the launch of the Cabbage Patch Kids dolls (which was ages ago). Publicity is truly my first love and I do everything I can to help you be successful.
Your job will be to identify newspapers in your community. There’s probably one thrown onto your driveway (like mine). If not, I’ve produced a simple Youtube that explains how to find your local media that are most likely to put you into their newspaper.
Then, your job is a simple 2-step process. Firstly, take our fill-in-the-blanks prepared releases and fill in your personalized information. Secondly, get them to the media – via Email, fax or regular mail. I’ll explain how to decide which way is best as part of the 2024 video.
When your name appears as part of an article in the local newspaper there are 3 very special benefits.
First, people will see you. Your clients will say “hey, that’s my agent. I guess we have a good one because the newspaper just quoted him or her”.
Second, prospects will see your name. And because of the way we create the material, the newspaper may include your contact information. Will it generate calls? That’s the goal.
Finally, you can cut out the news items that mention your name for reprints. If you want to stand out today, one of the best ways is to show that you are an expert. If the newspaper trusted you enough to quote you …

“My listing has had a great ROI for my business and has also helped to legitimize and support my local presence and expertise as a Medicare insurance agent. It is amazing how well Medicaresupp.org shows up on Google. My website would never show up in the top-10 results for “medicare insurance agent / broker”. Highly recommend posting!”

“I have been listed in the “Find An Agent Directory” since February 2016 and I have been very pleased with the results. As a result I opted for a 3 year listing in March 2017, figuring that one sale would more than cover the cost (which it has), and more importantly, exceeded those expectations. This has been an excellent Return On Investment (ROI) for my marketing dollars, to say the least!”

“Since adding my listing in January of this year, I’ve already received five leads. The first policy sold more than paid for my listing. What a real value to agents seeking new consumer leads.”

“A few months after my listing went live I got my first lead which is turning into my first sale. That one sale will more than pay for my three year listing, making this a good lead-gen investment.”

“I signed up not knowing what to expect but figured if I got 1 deal it would be worth it. In my first year I didn’t get 1 deal, I got 3!!! Consumers said they searched Google for local brokers and this directory ranked tops. Glad to be part!”
