Many of you may be thinking that I am crazy saying that there are benefits to the H1N1 virus. Getting the flu may not be fun, but if you are are in the business of household personal care items, you could not be happier. Brands such as Johnson & Johnson have been seeing a large increase in sales on many of their germ killing products. Purell hand sanitizer, Clorox, and cold medicine are just a few of their germ products that people are reaching to. Just looking around the office I can see all three of the above products with people using them constantly. With that being said, it comes to no surprise that in October along with Johnson & Johnson saw at 10.7% sales increase. That was the larger increase among all companies in this market.
People are going to do whatever it takes to not get sick, if that means buying a bottle of hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes a week, they are going to do it (at least until the H1N1 virus subsides). If you are a marketing there is no reason why you should not be taking full advantage of this. Especially since we are still in a “recession”, having the biggest sale increase for that market is amazing. For all you green enthusiast who do not want to get sick and do not want to hurt the environment, there is a whole line of environmental friendly disinfectant products. Whatever the case may be, it definitely pays to work with what is out there and target what people are buzzing about.

The term insurance is a common term that is used in law and economics and can be defined with a lot of technical terms. However, at LeadPile, we like to keep it simple. We define insurance as the transfer of risk of loss from one entity to another in exchange for premiums.


Insurance has been around since the 3rd millennium B.C.E. The Chinese Merchants of this day would cleverly distribute their wares on several vessels to help spread losses in case one vessel was attacked or capsize. Conventional insurance became evident in 2000 B.C.E. when a contract was signed between companies issuing capital to traveling merchants. This contract stipulated that should the capital be lost while on transit, it would be a loss to the company issuing the capital and thus, in consideration of bearing such a risk, they charged a ridiculously high interest rate.


The Insurance Industry has come a long way since 2000 years before the Common Era, and that is why there is such a demand for Insurance Leads. Modern insurance today can be traced back to the Great Fire of London, 1966. This disaster cost London a staggering 10million pounds. This triggered the minds of many to insure their property against fires.
