A comment from our digital communication expert:
Insurers can no longer afford to be slow adopters of new communication technologies, which can help meet customer needs and improve the customer experience significantly.
Insurance communications seldom extend beyond policy documentation or the monthly bill. Enhancing these communications can improve engagement and help build loyalty by establishing more solid and long-lasting customer relationships.
Tech-savvy insurance startups are already leveraging these technologies and delivering the experience today’s customers expect from their insurer.
It’s vital however that insurers keep the customer at the heart of all communication strategies, which must be implemented as human-centered and authentically as possible.
