SPECIAL M ARKE TING AR TICLE Peace of Mind W. C. WILBUR & COMPANY
IN A PERFECT WORLD, WE would not need insurance. Un- fortunately, our lives are neither perfect
BY BARBARA PATRICK nor simple
and, while we hope never to file a claim, insurance is a necessity. Finding the coverage that best
fits your needs isn’t easy. There are many insurance companies and vast amounts of information to absorb. Often we just give up, buy a policy and hope we’re covered. Or you can be proactive and contact a company such as W. C. Wilbur and Company Insurance, which helps sort through the infor- mation to find the right insurance provider for your specific needs. “We are a property and casualty insurance company,” said Patty Wilson. “We write personal and business policies. We work with quite a few providers.” We’re bombarded every day
with TV commercials and Internet ads, but that doesn’t make it easier to buy insurance. When you call W. C. Wilbur and Company, the phone will be answered by a real person who can direct you imme- diately to someone who can answer your questions and explain the dif- ferences among insurance products. It is called customer service, and that personal touch resonates with consumers. W. C. Wilbur and Company has been in the same family since 1911 and is proud of its 100 years of serving the insur- ance needs of local residents. For a century, they have been doing the research for their clients. “When you request a quote, we

send it to several companies,” Wil- son said, adding that responses can be surprising. “Sometimes a quote can vary by $1,500.” It is that knowledge of both the insurance industry and the major providers that sets W. C. Wilbur apart from agents who represent just one company. “Laurie Kilcoyne is very familiar at determining what risk factors will fit with which company,” she said. W. C. Wilbur and Company can
provide personal insurance on your home, automobile and boat, as well as business insurance for commer- cial properties, vacant land liability and workers’ compensation. Events insurance and umbrella policies for both personal and business use also are available. Billy Walker has been the
president of the company since 1985, succeeding his father, who
bought the agency in 1956. There are two convenient offices, one in North Charleston and the other in Summerville. “If a client needs, we can trans- fer paperwork between the two offices,” said Wilson. “We are very service oriented.” W. C. Wilbur provides good old-fashioned service but also has embraced 21st-century tools such as the Internet. The company website provides access to easy online quotes.
