Nationwide Insurance Offering Major Discounts to HBCU Alumni

Nationwide Insurance Offering Major Discounts to HBCU Alumni
Posted By: Will Moss on February 23, 2011

Who’s Trying To Connect with YOU? Nationwide Insurance

We like to highlight some of the companies that are making a specific effort to reach out to HBCU alumni, and in this issue, we coincidentally are featuring two insurance related companies.

It may be a coincidence that we happen to be highlighting two insurance companies, but best believe it is no coincidence that they are both seriously looking to establish a strong relationship with HBCU alumni and maximize their brand presence with you.

HBCU CONNECT has been working with Nationwide Insurance company since 2002, assisting them in their efforts to initially reach out to black college alumni and students to offer employment opportunities. You must give credit to this company for thinking outside of the box early on in working with a ‘start up’ company like ours at the time, but that kind of outside of the box thinking as paid off well for Nationwide in their efforts to connect with HBCU alumni.

Currently, we have not seen much of the Nationwide recruitment brand in front of the HBCU audience at all, but we have seen an upswing in their marketing efforts to reach out to alumni and offer some of their great services (at a pretty significant discount).

Ok, get ready to take advantage of this, because if you are a member of HBCUConnect.com, Nationwide Insurance is running a very successful program to offer you a real discount on your auto insurance. I actually called in and got a quote and made sure I asked for the HBCU Connect discount, and sure enough, I received a quote (and purchased) a new auto policy that saved me about $500 a year. Not sure about you, but I HATE paying insurance, so saving on this particular bill felt really good.

HBCU Connect is always looking for meaningful ways to create more value for their user base and Nationwide Insurance has demonstrated time and time again of being ‘On your Side’ so join other HBCU Alumni and take advantage of this real discount on your auto coverage. Plus aren’t we in a recession!? We need to be saving money and supporting companies that spend dollars within our community to do business with us.

Contact Nationwide Insurance and ask for the HBCU CONNECT member discount under the affinity program list!

I spoke with Nationwide and I was told since there is no Nationwide in Louisiana, Dillard University doesn't qualify for the HBCU connect member discount.
