Car insurance consumers turn to social media to show their anger, says new report
New research from social media agency Immediate Future indicates that consumers turn to social media to vent their frustration when it comes to car insurance costs, renewal hikes and confusing policies.
The research, which was produced using the Brandwatch Analytics platform, showed that while cost is a big driver of frustration, so too is the confusion around policies, with 33% find completing quotes confusing, 25% don’t understand why some insurance is cheaper and 21% get muddled about renewals.
The full report looks further at the buying cycle and the triggers for purchase as well as motivations for sharing and engagement. Commenting on the data and insights revealed, Immediate Future CEO Katy Howell said: “No one likes buying car insurance, and that is clear from looking at a year’s worth of social data that when it comes to insurance, consumers express their emotions on social.
“Marketers talk a lot about content needing to be relevant to the customer, but it’s not until you dig into the ‘why’ of behaviours that you see the triggers behind the emotions – it’s this insight that helps to craft creative that will strike a chord with customers.”
Immediate Future work with clients including Google, Cats Protection, Fujitsu and the Marston’s Inns.
