Even if its .10 cents a letter, when they fill my mail box DAILY with these letters they are wasting a crap ton of money doing it.
Postage is only one cost of it as well. The envelope, multiple pieces of paper, then actually assembling it and getting it to the post office all costs money. It wouldn't surprise me if the "Cost" of each letter isn't at least 50 cents each when its all said and done. There is no disputing the magnitude of money wasted with this ineffective advertising all the while they keep sticking it to the ones who actually pay their premiums and make minimal claims.

I've had nothing but good experiences with AllState (Dave_L). Rates haven't gone up, hes actually recommended coverage for me and listed out the pros/cons. No pressure at all for signing up either. Recently went to him for advise about roof damage, he basically held my hand through the situation. AllState cut a check on the spot, roof work was done this week, and inspection is planned for Friday.
In the past i've normally always shopped for insurance, but I think i will stick around.![]()

My Feedback
I know what you mean about the mailings. I started getting them a few years ago after I applied for s job at State Farm. For years I thought they just kept my resume on file so they could send me crap, and didn't realize it was everyone. The most common for mailings seems to be State Farm and Geico. I don't think it's really fair to assume that the reason for rate changes is due to the marketing budget. There are probably over 100 insurance companies most people have never even heard of because they don't send mailers or buy television ads, that suffer big loses after paying out catastrophic claims just as the big advertisers do.

Just switched auto form Safeco to Liberty Mutual and added my 17 year old daughter. Premium went down even adding my daughter!!!!
Same coverage. $90 less a month.

This is the problem in CO right now. Combine this with the frequency of hail storms:
