Growth of Life Insurance Advertising

LIMITATIONS• The research is confined to a certain

parts of Delhi due to time constraints and does not necessarily shows a pattern applicable to all of Country.

• Some respondents were reluctant to divulge personal information which can affect the validity of all responses.

• In a rapidly changing industry, analysis on one day or in one segment can change very quickly. The environmental changes are vital to be considered in order to assimilate the findings.

FINDINGS

Majority of the public uses television for entertainment or information gathering, followed by newspaper and internet. Radio is seems to be out dated in urban areas. But after revolution in mobile technology and satellite radio it has again started growing.

Majority of the public goes behind brand name. That’s why corporate advertising plays a vital role in growing stage.

It is also found that insurance companies like to give their ads in News/Business channel.

Liking an advertisement does not mean that public would like to buy that product.

If we talk about the private players, public’s first choice is ICICI Prudential followed by HDFC Standard Life and Reliance Life Insurance.

RECOMMENDATIONS• After the initial promotional campaign the

relative advantage of ICICI PRUDENTIAL Life Insurance Co. Ltd. Over its competitor should be highlighted.

• Hoardings at prime areas should be used• ICICI Prudential should come forward for

development of rural sector by way of establishing a school, digging wells in villages. It is one of the ways to gain trust in rural sector.

• ICICI Prudential can also use to advertise by using the way of “Nukkad Naataks”. It is the most creative and cheapest way of advertising.

THANK YOU..!
