this Halloween
Help your clients protect themselves against a wide range of unfortunate events from experiences that could leave them feeling cold to things that go bump in the night.
Discussing optional extras with your clients can help tailor a policy to suit their needs. Below is a selection of resources to help you with those conversations including a new infographic to help you with optional extra talking points, our customer video series and brush up on your Paymentshield optional extra knowledge with GI Academy.

Optional extras infographic
Optional extras are a great way to build a personalised policy for your clients that really suits their needs. They cover a whole host of events that might otherwise leave them out of pocket.
Our infographic provides some key areas of discussion for each optional extra to inform your clients about how each one could offer extra peace of mind.
Video: What's personal possessions cover?
Familiarise your clients with what can be covered away from the home with the optional extra personal possessions.
Adding personal possessions cover to their Home Insurance means they can be protected against unexpected losses like a stolen mobile phone or lost engagement ring.
Video: What's home emergency cover?
If your client gets left cold due to a boiler breakdown or in the dark because all their electrics stop working, or some unwanted pests take up residence in their home.
home emergency provides the help your clients would need to make their homes safe and liveable again.
Video: Home emergency case study: Boiler breakdown
Home emergency provides emergency breakdown cover if your client's boiler completely breaks down leaving them with no heating or hot water.
Kylie & Matt Arnold were grateful they’d added the optional extra home emergency to their home insurance policy when their boiler did just that.
Video: What's legal expenses cover?
There's a wide range of legal scenarios that might leave your clients in a sticky situation such as unfair dismissal from work, personal injury or unlawful evictions.
Legal expenses can provide much-needed support for these unforeseen legal situations plus much more.
Video: What's accidental damage cover?
As part of our customer video series, we've also unearthed some information about our optional accidental damage cover.
You can also find more information on accidental damage cover by visiting our dedicated page.
