What information cannot be included in an insurance company’s advertisement?

The inclusion of information about coverage by a state guaranty association in an insurance company’s advertisement is often restricted because it could mislead consumers into assuming that such coverage guarantees the company's financial stability or the safety of their investment. While the existence of state guaranty associations is intended to protect consumers in the event of an insurer's insolvency, simply stating that policies are covered by such an association could imply a level of security or assurance that is not warranted.

Insurance advertisements are required to be clear and not misleading; therefore, including this type of information could lead to misconceptions about the extent of protection offered. Regulatory bodies aim to ensure that advertisements provide accurate and straightforward information that helps consumers make informed decisions, rather than implications that might create a false sense of security.

In contrast, details about customer service, state regulatory compliance, and discounts for new customers are typically encouraged in advertisements as they directly inform potential customers about available support, adherence to legal standards, and economic incentives for choosing the insurer's products. These elements contribute positively to an informed consumer experience.
