The modern world is at a high point of desire for speed and efficiency when it comes to providing services to consumers. More than anyone else, millennials are prioritizing those companies that make access and services easy and quick. With the steadily growing popularity of apps such as Lemonade, it is clear to see that the old way of doing things is swiftly going out of favor. Lengthy phone calls and bloated paperwork are left in the dust for simple online forms, chatbots, and 5-minute purchasing experiences. With a generous portion of Gen Y forgoing home insurance purchases, insurance carriers as a whole must provide access to their services in a way that portrays them as less than a chore, and more of an investment.
Online Presence
Online research is often the very first step for Millennials considering a purchase of any service, including insurance. Having an online presence and well-functioning website can make a big difference in your company’s ability to attract this generation. Reviews are taken very seriously, and negative ratings can significantly impact how appealing you are to younger generations. Additionally, Gen Y reads more than previous generations did at the same age. Blogs are a very attractive target for their reading activities. Investing in an online blog that supplies concise, but informative content will go a long way towards bolstering your online presence and attracting Millennials.
Using Millennial Relationships To Your Advantage
Forming a positive relationship with Millennial homeowners both through service and insurance inspections can drastically increase your company’s attractiveness. Gen Y greatly appreciates value and useful information about the best ways to protect their home investment due to growing up saddled with debt. A residential insurance inspection provided through Insurance Risk Services can provide that, opening up more customer engagement and service providing opportunities for your business. On another note, word of mouth referrals are a major influencer for the younger generations, so forming positive relationships yields more benefits over time.
Creating an incentivized referral system is also not a bad choice, giving insureds more reason to do what they already do naturally with the companies they love. It is important to realize that Millennials have the least brand loyalty of all other recent generation groups, and so earning loyalty is a far more difficult process than with Gen X. Due to this, a strategy targeted at building and maintaining relationships is crucial.
