Share your driving tips or a post about Esurance resources for 8,000 My SocialMoms Rewards Points!

Thank you for your interest in this program. We have reached our quota of 100 posts and are reviewing each post to make sure they met the requirements. Participants will be contacted via email regarding payment as per the Terms & Conditions below.

Selecting the best car insurance to cover your family vehicles at an affordable price can be a daunting task. With so many competitive options out there, how do you decide which will be the best choice for your family?

We’ve teamed up with our friends at Esurance to share some insight into their promise of making car insurance easier — from quote to claim — for you and your family.

We’d like you to check out some of the tips and tricks they provide on the Esurance Blog, like mom-inspired driving tips, yoga for drivers, winter driving tips and more! If you have a smartphone, check out the Esurance mobile app, which has a feature that lets you know the status of your repairs while your car is at the shop (and even lets you see pictures). The Esurance website is another great resource for helping you learn about insuring your vehicles. Check out the Car Insurance Myths and Car Insurance FAQs for lots of helpful, easy-to-understand info.

Esurance’s new TV advertisements are also encouraging consumers to visit the company’s Facebook page and contribute to the conversation. Moms can engage directly with Esurance on the page to get their customer service questions addressed, get a quick car insurance quote, and see how other people are talking about Esurance. The company welcomes all comments, and promptly responds to a great many of them. Unlike many other brands, Esurance does not delete negative comments, as long as they comply with the page’s Wall Etiquette, contribute to the conversation and provide Esurance with an opportunity to learn how to improve its products and service.

In conjunction with Esurance, we’re bringing you a fun new blogging program! We are looking for 100 creative, original blog posts of 400-600 words about the topic of your choice from these three selections:
