ATTENTION HOOSIERS: 🚨

Please check your radar apps, because yet again, another round is officially on the way.

Starting tomorrow, Wednesday, June 17, Indiana is looking at another wave of severe weather that can only be described as absolutely gross. We are talking multiple rounds of heavy rain, high winds, and a very real potential for severe storms and rotating cells rolling into Thursday morning.

After everything that happened last week, I'm honestly not sure when Indiana suddenly became Tornado Alley... but it needs to turn down a different alley immediately. Memory Lane? Lover's Lane? Diagon Alley?

What you need to do today:

📱 Charge everything: Get those phones and portable battery packs to 100%.

🌪️ Know your safe spot: Make sure your basement or interior room is cleared out and ready.

🚗 Park strategically: If you have a garage, pull the cars in. If you don't, try to avoid parking under dead trees.

🗑️ Secure the yard: Bring in the trash cans and patio furniture unless you want your neighbors inheriting them.

Stay weather-aware tomorrow, keep your alerts turned on, and stay safe out there!

🚧 **Pardon our dust, but we are OPEN!** 🚧

If you’ve tried driving down Morton Street (US 31) lately, you already know it looks a bit like an obstacle course out there. The detours and construction are in full swing, but we want to let you know that our Franklin office is still fully open and ready to serve you! (Monday-Friday: 8am-5pm)

Don't let the orange cones scare you away. While the route might take an extra minute or require a little zig-zagging, our team is inside, the lights are on, and we are thrilled to see you.

🚗 **Quick Tip:** We highly recommend checking your GPS before you head out, leaving a few minutes early, and following the local detour signs to find the easiest path to our parking lot.

Thank you all so much for your patience and for continuing to support us through the construction chaos!

At Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance, your safety is our top priority. We want you to know that we are here to help before and after the storm.

To help you navigate any potential impact, we have attached our After the Storms Checklist. Take a moment to save and or review it so you know exactly what steps to take if your property sustains any damage.

Stay inside, stay safe, and remember that your local agents are standing by if you need us.

On World Marketing Day, let’s get back to the basics. 🌍✨

The digital landscape changes every single day, but the core pillars of a truly great marketing strategy remain steady:

1️⃣ Know Your Audience: Speak to their specific desires and struggles, not just your product's features.
2️⃣ Lead with Value: Give people a reason to tune in before you ask them to buy.
3️⃣ Consistency Over Intensity: Showing up reliably builds trust faster than a one-time viral hit.

Whether you are running a small local business or managing a global brand, marketing is your superpower to spark change. Happy World Marketing Day to our own Marketing Activities Specialist, Dakota Wilson!
