    Hi Tim,

    That's an intriguing one! As a quick answer I'd say:

    • Price information
    • Simple to use functionality
    • Easy to find the information you want

    The key to take away from all of this, is to just be honest. If you are honest and forthcoming during the life insurance application process, then you have nothing to worry about.

    Hello, It is very simple but quite alot to do within the financial sector (online). Insurance falls under financial services and there is fiece competition which means there any key factors to take into account than just 3. If you are not a well established insurance company and offering more benefits than the others plus great customer services then your chances are very limited

    The first thing to do is to be very honest to your customers but you also need mastery of your services or products. Mastering your field means you are able to produce a professional copy for the site in simple and clear english. Online marketing is exactly the same as man dating a woman. Therefore your choice of wordings has much to do with conversion. If you were to communicate to your site visitors using video then your body language also has much to do.

    Your website has to look professional and scalable. You will also need to show to your site visitors that your website is secure enough to protect their data. However this is still not enough because there is much competition online in every genre. Therefore you need to show what makes you different from the rest of other online insurance services. Let your site visitors see what others think and have said about you and your services or products

    As you maybe quite aware, people every where in the world want to do business online only with websites they trust. How would you build this trust?

    To keep it short. You may do the following;

    • PPC/SEO
    • Testimonials
    • Strategic digital marketing/media marketing/Social media marketing.

    I hope this help.

    Note: I have a vast knowledge in online marketing.

    Hi Tim.

    in my opinionm:

    - the prrof that I am saving money with you (how much people like me saved last year in average)

    - incentives (1 month free - or equivalent)

    - usability of the site (as drop offs through the quotation engine are enormous)

    Hope it helps.
