LIMRA Europe has recommended that providers
reach out to consumers when they are most ready to buy, and offer
the option of a needs analysis, as effective ways to engage with
potential life insurance buyers.

Other recommendations from LIMRA Europe
include: offering a personal contact option; contacting clients who
recently bought life insurance and reaching out to all generations
and all income levels. 

Chris Heath, research manager at
LIMRA Europe, explained that LIMRA has been working with US
consumers to find out about their attitudes and experiences to life
insurance as a financial product.

Consumers’ information needs

Heath said: “The type of
information that is provided to potential buyers is another crucial
angle to look at when trying to understand the under-buying of life
assurance. One vital example is helping people to understand how
much insurance they need.

“Another LIMRA US study found
that amongst households considering purchasing [life insurance] 56
per cent felt they hadn’t yet bought [it] because they found it
difficult to know how much they needed.”
