Frankenmuth Insurance would like to encourage its agency partners to take advantage of the discounts and marketing opportunities available through our unique group and affinity programs.
Among several group options, we’re pleased to have partnered with MichBusiness (powered by the Michigan Business and Professional Association), an organization dedicated to supporting and helping small businesses across Michigan by providing members with access to business resources, educational programs and networking events.
Through this partnership, current and prospective policyholders can take advantage of an annual “Trailblazer” membership at a discounted rate of $120 for their first year.
Trailblazers also receive exclusive discounts through MichBusiness – many offered right in their communities – such as savings on fleet fuel expenses, office supplies, credit card sales processing and equipment, college tuition and more.
