Coverages, as well as, money.

The holiday season brings both great joy and added stress to manage.
Added chores of shopping, entertaining and family obligations can take a
heavy toll on the best disposition. Not only does stress associated
with the holidays have an impact on your well being psychologically, it
can also be a dangerous time of year associated with increased fires,
car accidents and other calamities. While insurance is a necessity of
life and can create peace of mind that is highly valued, it is always
better when there is no need to use it.

It’s amazing how fast time has flown by. It seems as if 2012 had just started and now it’s coming to a close. Here at Spivey Insurance we want to take the time to thank all of you for making 2012 a great year.  Our wish for all of you is that 2013 is a […]

Throwing a holiday party at work is a great way to show your employees
how much you appreciate their hard work. Whether you choose to throw the
party at the office or a restaurant, your employees can have a lot of
fun eating tasty treats, drinking refreshing cocktails and chatting with
their coworkers. Although holiday work parties can be a lot of fun,
they can get out of hand sometimes. For example, if an employee drinks
too much and gets into a car accident on his way home, the company could
be responsible. Here are some tips for throwing a safe holiday party:

McCauley Culkin was home alone when the mean burglars came to rob his
family, and the Grinch stole Christmas from right under the noses of the
sleeping Whos in Whoville. Alright, alright we know both of those
stories had a funny and happy ending, but we can bet if you are the
victim of a home burglary this holiday season, the ending won’t seem as
happy… and definitely not funny!

The holiday season is officially under way. With Thanksgiving behind us and December in front of us, things are definitely about to get festive! This is the time of the year when people spend a lot of time getting together with friends, family and loved ones. There are sure to be a ton of holiday parties to attend. If you’re a party-planner as well as a party-goer, then this can be a little bit stressful. You don’t want to plan your party on a conflicting day, you want to make sure you have enough food and drinks, and of course, that everyone has a good time!

It comes as no surprise that smoking is bad for your health. While that fact is undisputed, it does not make it any easier for a smoker to kick the habit. Unfortunately, tobacco is addictive and those who smoke have a very difficult time quitting, no matter how much they want to. November is “Great American Smokeout Month” in the United States. Every year, this year being the 37th, the American Cancer Society encourages smokers to use the date of November 15 to make a plan to quit… or quit all together!

By now you have probably gotten used to the idea of the Internet and the basics of social media. Facebook, being the first of the social media revolution, really set the path for the future standards for social media use. In this generation, it is normal to share your personal photos, thoughts and opinions all over the Internet and to engage in conversation and debate with people you may or may not have ever met before. For a business owner, this can be a tricky thing. Are you using Facebook in the best way possible?

The sounds of excited children in the early afternoons are certainly a sign of school being in session. What else makes you think of school? The big yellow school buses of course!
