NAPA, Calif. — AUL Corp. used its 2012 AUL National Agency Meeting, held at its corporate headquarters, to unveil a new logo and corporate identity. The new look was inspired by the human element and unique culture the 22-year-old company has built, official said.
Officials said the new look is one of friendliness, approachability, protection, and meaningful relationships. The company’s new logo boasts a more “approachable” font, along with a new mark that includes three new colors that represent transparency and protection, important aspects of AUL, officials added.

“AUL has always demonstrated the commitment to innovation and change since the introduction of the revolutionary ‘Any Year, Any Mileage’ program 22 years ago,” said Founder and CEO Luis Nieves. “We believe that the new branding better reflects our business approach and culture as we grow our business.”
In addition to new marketing materials released at the meeting, AUL will update all of its materials and website over the next several months. A national advertising campaign, including the new brand, will begin in June.
“This is about more than just new branding. It represents responsiveness to our agents and dealers in bringing them meaningful improvements to our products, processes and systems,” said Jimmy Atkinson, COO. “In the last several months we have made significant enhancements to our website, produced a sales video for use at the point of sale and expanded our product offering to meet the needs of our customers.”
The increasingly important profit center continued making gains in the first quarter, according to StoneEagle data, ancillary products proving more popular as consumers hold onto their buys longer.
For dealer-owned reinsurance entities, avoiding volatility entirely can mean falling behind inflation and missing market rebounds that drive long term surplus growth. Missing just a handful of strong market days can materially impact cumulative returns—an important reminder for long horizon trust and investment strategies.

Some of it should be given to the customer, but that doesn’t mean the F&I office relinquishes the process. In fact, a different approach both builds trust and boosts sales.
Talk to F&I customers like you’d talk to a friend, without industry lingo or sales-like questions, and use hard proof to show, not tell, them about a need.
