In celebration of its 40th anniversary, MiniCo Insurance Agency LLC, a provider of insurance products for the self-storage industry, is launching an online photo contest. The company is inviting customers, insurance agents, advertisers, colleagues and friends to visit its Facebook page and submit a photo wishing MiniCo a happy anniversary.

Three prizes will be awarded for the best photos. The grand prize is a $500 gift card; the second-place prize is a $250 gift card; and the third-place prize is a $100 gift card. Participants may upload photos through Oct. 24. Voting will take place from Oct. 25-31. The official rules are available at http://www.minico.com/photocontest.

“MiniCo owes its continued success to the support of our policyholders, insurance agents, subscribers, advertisers and colleagues in the self-storage industry,” said Mike Schofield, CEO and president. “This photo contest is another fun way to engage and give back to interested parties that have played a major part in the sustainability of MiniCo over the past 40 years.”

Industry veteran Hardy Good launched Mini Storage Insurance Corp. in 1974 and a publishing division five years after. The company later became MiniCo Inc. Good sold the insurance and publishing divisions in 2010 to Aran Insurance Services Group, a full-service general agency and underwriter. Aran has since expanded the company’s product line to include specialty property and casualty insurance. Current non-storage programs include those for fine art and collectibles, agribusiness, sports and activity, contractors liability, and fantasy sports gaming.

Phoenix-based MiniCo offers two tenant-insurance programs and specialty property and casualty commercial insurance for self-storage operators in the United States and Canada. The company carries an A.M. Best rating of “A,” and also operates MiniCo Insurance Agency of Canada Inc.
