Growth in consumer interest for personalized insurance coverage

Insurer-consumer interactions can benefit from becoming more personalized to drive consumer satisfaction. Personalized communications can be delivered through an omnichannel network to get the right information to the consumer at the right time in their channel of choice. And, strategically, this can provide the foundation for new product offerings that can differentiate a company and drive revenue.

Consumers are increasingly focused on protecting their financial security. However, the coverage they seek must be easy to understand and directly linked to the asset they are looking to protect. For instance, 75% of consumers, particularly among younger age groups worldwide, intend to make a change to their finances post-pandemic.11 This trend is one that you should focus on and create options that make sense for consumers.
