To cost-effectively gain new clients, insurance marketing strategies must adapt to the pressures of rising inflation that have impacted a number of industries, including restaurant, retail, and grocery for the past couple of years.

Cost increases in home construction and automotive repairs have driven personal insurance rates upward:

Trends that developed during the pandemic have resulted in the negative inflation trend for health insurance. During the early stages of the pandemic, health care usage decreased dramatically because consumers were not seeing doctors or visiting hospitals for elective procedures. That translated to higher profits since insurers were still collecting premiums.

After the economy reopened and consumers began using their insurance more often, aggregate profits shrank in 2021 relative to 2020, as insurers paid out more insurance benefits — resulting in negative inflation rates.

Create Preference to Acquire New Clients

In response to inflation and rising prices, consumers are trading brand preference and loyalty for greatest perceived value. Insurers that understand the new consumer value equation can create preference and steal share.
