Faking the brands 💍
How much phony brand-name jewelry is out there?
⬇
Here's a statistic to consider: Of all the high-value counterfeit items seized by U.S. customs, jewelry tops the list. It's higher than designer handbags and clothing, higher than bogus and potentially dangerous pharmaceuticals, even higher than consumer electronics.

If all the jewelry and watches seized just last year had entered the market and sold at MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price), the total would come to $1,060,787,355. Don't bother counting the zeros - that's well over a billion dollars.

Each year Customs and Border Patrol catches more counterfeit goods. And here's the thing: they can't go through every package, so there is no way of knowing how much is not caught.

🌊🏡 Protect Your Home with Flood Insurance! 🏡🌊
https://andersonagencyfl.com/quote.html (or click the link in our bio)

Did you know that standard homeowners' insurance doesn't cover flood damage? Whether you live in a high-risk flood zone or an area that's never experienced flooding, it's crucial to be prepared. Here’s why you should consider flood insurance:
⬇⬇
1️⃣. Peace of Mind: Natural disasters can strike unexpectedly. With flood insurance, you won't have to worry about the financial burden of repairing flood damage.
2️⃣. Comprehensive Coverage: Flood insurance covers damage to your home and belongings, ensuring you can rebuild and replace what's lost.
3️⃣. Affordable Options: Plans are available to fit different budgets and needs. Protecting your home doesn't have to break the bank.
4️⃣. Community Resilience: By securing flood insurance, you contribute to the overall resilience of your community, helping everyone recover faster from floods.
5️⃣. Climate Change Preparedness: With changing weather patterns, areas previously considered low-risk are now experiencing more floods. Stay ahead of the unexpected.
Don't wait for the next storm to find out you're unprotected. 🌧️ Contact your insurance provider today and ask about flood insurance. Protect your home, your belongings, and your peace of mind.

⚠️The recent updates to the flood zone maps in Northeast Florida mean that many properties are now classified differently in terms of flood risk. This could affect your insurance premiums and, more importantly, your need for flood insurance. Here’s a breakdown of what you need to know... ⬇
