help your customers create a home inventory

January 7, 2010

It’s important for your customers to keep a home inventory — especially these days, with the popularity of flat-screen televisions, iPhones, video games and other expensive electronics.

But the process can be time-consuming and difficult. The Insurance Information Institute’s Know Your Stuff tool can make doing a home inventory a breeze.

Know Your Stuff helps customers enter items by room and upload photos or scanned receipts. Once the information is in the system, items can be sorted by price, date of purchase or type (silverware, major appliances, etc.). Customers can even customize their own categories.

Once completed or updated, the Know Your Stuff report also can be printed, saved on a computer, e-mailed or burned on a CD.

The site has an informative video about the Know Your Stuff tool, giving customers a quick look at the process and the importance of doing a home inventory!
