Insurtechs, digital-only attackers, and ecommerce players have been gaining momentum in the insurance industry. But there's a new kid on the block that could actually help these big names out - personalization marketing!

A few years ago, no one would've thought about using technology like this, but now it seems to be catching onto more people every day with its effectiveness at targeting customers' needs.

When you think about insurance, what do you think of? Assurance!

And assurances are a personal emotion. It means you can take a risk thinking that the risk is covered. The same goes for car insurance.

When you are a policyholder, you remember that your car is insured, and you can drive the paths you want with an assurance that your car is well taken care of!

So, such insurances should be marketed personally, too.

And that's why video personalization works so well in the car insurance industry.

In this post, we'll explore some ideas for using video personalization for car insurance sales to target different audiences and create more engaging experiences for your policyholders or prospecting policyholders.

Let's get started!

Why Should You Bring the Personalization Element in Your Car Insurance Sales?

Personalization reaches customers with a targeted message, offers, and pricing at the right time! However, no two customers are alike, and hence a bulk email campaign or undifferentiated marketing campaigns won't work in today's "customized to customer" world.

Everything is being customized to suit the customer's needs, and hence a change should be brought about in traditional sectors like car insurance. It brings a refreshing change in conveying marketing efforts, thereby retaining your clients.

With the wealth of customer information, customer buying trends, personal details & patterns, and data, today's marketers can design various personalized campaigns to retain clients or get new clients onboarded.

One such marketing tool that proved to work time and again is a personalized video!
