Insurance Discounts

Many of Make Your Mark™ customers have been successful in obtaining a discount for their premise insurance premiums.  We provide all of our customers with a request form to notify their insurance broker for insurance premium discounts.  The form shows that our customers have taken the following security steps to reduce the risk of theft:

  • All computer and valuable office equipment has been visibly, permanently, and professionally identified by Inprinting them with the name of the insured.
  • Database serial numbers have been registered on a National Database Registry available to Police and Insurance Companies.

Some insurance companies require their high risk clients to physically secure their computer equipment with Lockdown Enclosures which Make Your Mark™ provides.
