 Abstract
India is a country where the average selling of Life insurance
policies is still lower than many Western and Asian
countries, with the second largest population in world the
Indian insurance market is looking very prospective to many
multinational and Indian insurance companies for expanding
their business and market share. Before the opening of
Indian market for Multinational Insurance Companies, Life
Insurance Corporation (LIC) was the only company which
dealt in Life Insurance and after opening of this sector to
other private companies, all the world leaders of life
insurance has started their operation in India. With their
world market experience and network, these companies
have offered many good schemes to lure all type of Indian
consumers but unfortunately failed to get the major share of
market. Still the LIC is the biggest player in the life
insurance market with approx 65% market share. But why
Indian consumers do not trust on many companies and why
the major population of India does not have any life
insurance policy.

 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The insurance sector in India is still in its nascent stages.
But the Indians are an extremely risk averse race. Thus due
to this only the government entities have a good presence
and brand recognition in India and the others have a difficult
time carving a space out for themselves in the market.

Since the industry is at its early ages even now hence its
constantly changing and evolving. This makes it mandatory
for the new players to tow the line and at the same time
constantly keep on evolving itself to meet the needs of the
consumers.

In this sector the visibility of the brand matters the most

and is of utmost importance. Since, insurance is the backup
plan for more risky propositions like shares and stocks.
Hence the customers who want to go for these propositions
too are extremely risk averse. Hence there has to be
products specifically for this segment. And then expand
furthermore into other segments while keeping their base
customers with them.

Keeping in mind the same these paper was done to study

the marketing mix of IDBI Federal life insurance solely
depending on the current marketing approaches and the
expectation of the Indian consumers in the insurance sector.
 Introduction
This industry thrives mostly on the desire of the
individual to reduce the uncertainties of the future. This
uncertainty can vary regarding various issues starting from
their life to commodities to their childs future as well as
their present income. In the current fiscal year the growth of
BFSI i.e. the banking financial and insurance sector hovering
around 9% and the Gross Domestic Product growth of the
country at being around 4.7 % in the fiscal year 2013-2014
the industry is facing a hard time as the lower growth
means lower disposable income in the hands of the
consumers. The increase in the inflation index also hasnt
helped the industry at any level. If anything it has made the
returns look less and less lucrative.

Meaning of Insurance: Insurance is a contract

between the insurance company (insurer) and the
policyholder (insured). In return for a consideration (the
premium), the insurance company promises to pay a
specified amount to the insured on the happening of a
specified event. As the first step in helping you to gain the
knowledge you need to become a professional and
successful life insurance agent, we are going to first take an
overview of life insurance what it is and why it is needed.
In seeing how life insurance works we will need to make
reference to the insurance market as a whole insurance is
available for many other things, not just for human life but
our focus will remain firmly on the life insurance part of it.
How does insurance work. We can move on to
understanding how insurance works exactly.
Roles in the insurance industry
HISTOR
Y
 History of insurance:
The history of insurance in India is deep rooted. Since the
earliest times insurance has been carried out in some from
or other. Insurance in India has developed over time and has
taken ideas from countries England particular. The history
of insurance in India can be divided into three phases as
follows:
Phase I Pre liberalization 1818-1829: First
insurance company: in 1818 the oriental life insurance
in Kolkata (then Calcutta) was the first company to start a
life insurance business in India. However, the company
failed in 1834. In 1829 he Madras Equitable had begun
transacting life insurance business in Madras Presidency.
1870: Following the enactment of the British insurance Act
1870, the last three decades of the 19th century saw the
creation of the Bombay mutual (1871), oriental (1874) and
empire of India (1897) in the Bombay residency.
1912: The Indian life assurance Companies act 1912 was
the first statuary measure to regulate life business.
1928: The Indian insurance companies Act 1928 give the
government the power to collect statistical information
about both life and non life business transacted in India by
Indian and foreign insurers, including provident insurance
societies.
1938: To protect the interest of the insuring public, the
earlier legislation Phase I - Pre - liberalization Phase II -
Liberalization Phase III - Post liberalization was
consolidated and amended by the insurance Act 1938 which
gave the government effective control over the activities of
insurers.
1950 : In the 1950s, competition in the insurance business
was very high and there were allegation of unfair trade
practices. The government of India therefore decided to
nationalize insurance business.
 1957: Formation of the general insurance council (GIC): GIC
presents the collective interests of the non life insurance
companies in India. The council speaks out on issues of
common interest participate in discussion related to policy
formation, and Acts as an Advocate for high standards of
customer service in the insurance industry.
1972: The general insurance business (nationalization) Act
1972 (GIBNA) was passed. The general insurance
corporation of Indian (GIC) was formed in pursuance of
section 9(1) of GIBNA. It was in corporate on 22 Nov. 1972
under companies Act. 1956as a private company limited by
shares.
Phase II Liberalization: The international payment
crisis of the 1990s forced the government to we think its
industrial policies and regulations. The government only had
enough foreign currency reserves to finance a few days of
imports.
1993: Malhotra committee: In 1993 the government set up
a committee under the chairmanship of R.N.Malhotra, the
former governor of RBI, to make recommendations for the
reform of the insurance sector. In its report in 1994, the
committee recommended, among other things, that the
private sector and foreign companies (but only through a
joint venture with an Indian partner) be permitted to enter
the insurance industry.
1999: Formation of IRDA: following the recommendations
of the Malhotra committee report, the insurance regulatory
and development authority (IRDA) was constituted as an
Autonomous body in 1999 to regulate and develop the
insurance industry. The IRDA was incorporated as a statuary
body in April 2000.
Phase III Post liberalization:. As we have seen,
following the recommendations of the Malhotra committees,
the insurance sector was opened to private companies.
Foreign companies were also allowed to participate in the
Indian insurance market through joint ventures (JVs) with
Indian companies. Under current regulations the foreign
partner cant hold more than 26% stake in the joint venture.

Recent development in the Insurance Industry:-

By 2010 India was the fifth largest insurance market in the
world and it is still growing rapidly:
Growing importance of IT: All insurance companies now
use information technology to benefit their business and to
improve convenience for their customers. Today, customers
can pay their premiums and check the status and other
details of their policies companys website. Updates relating
to the receipt of premiums or changes to their policy or sent
to the customer through mobile SMS.
Banc assurance: Many banks have joined with insurance
companies to cross sell insurance products to their
customers. Insurance companies benefit from the wide
network and loyal customers base of banks, and the
contribution that Banc assurance makes to insurance sells
has steadily grown over the last few years. The banks
benefit through being able to provide value added products
to their customers and from the fee income they received in
return from the insurance companies. Many banks have
started their own life insurance subsidiaries.
Online sells: Most of the insurance companies have now
started selling insurance products online. This eliminates the
needs for an intermediary and reduces costs. The saving
can be passed to customers in the firm of reduced premium.
Micro insurance Micro insurance guidelines were issued by
the IRDA in 2005.
Micro insurance: products provide insurance protection
to people in lower income groups, such as self help group
(SHG) s members, formers, rickshaw pullers and others
against the risks that they and their assets are exposed to.
The premiums for these products I am as low as Rs. 15 and
am collected on a weekly basis. The minimum life insurance
cover specified by the regulator for this category is rupees
5.000 and the maximum cover that can be provided is
rupees 50.000 people work in agriculture and allied
activities are exposed to the Hazards of nature so they need
protection against risks like monsoon failure, floods etc. this
is where micro insurance can come to their rescue.
Grievance redressed: whenever any industry is
experiencing fast growth there are bound t be concerns, and
the insurance industry is no different. There has been an
increase in complaints from customers about the settlement
their claims and customer service in general. As we saw
earlier, the IRDA has taken steps to protect the interest of
the policyholders. It has asked insurance companies to set
up internal customer grievance redressal sells/departments,
and an insurance ombudsman has been established. The
latest initiative from the IRDA is the setting up of a call
centre which an insured can contact to seek the resolution
of a grievance they have against their insurer. The unhappy
customer can either call a toll free number (155255) or e
mail: complaints@irda.gov.in to register their complaints.

 INDUSTRY PROFILE

As already discussed above Insurance is a means of pooling

your risks, especially those arising from the uncertainties of
the future. Let us take the example of life insurance. In this
the insured person is trying to protect the people dependent
on him from the unfortunate even of is unforeseen demise.
Usually the insurance companies collect premiums from the
policy holders and then invest them in low risk ventures,
generally with the government sector for boosting the
infrastructure of the country. Generally the taxes which are
collected are not enough to fuel the growth of the
infrastructure. The remaining amount is given to them in the
form of investments which come from the insurance
companies. The Added returns which are generated are then
dispersed to the policy holders in accordance with the terms
and conditions earlier agreed upon.

One major factor which is used to calculate the premium for

a certain case is the risk associated with it. For example a
person suffering from some serious health disorder will have
to pay a higher premium than a person with no or lesser
serious health conditions. Same goes for other insurances
too like car insurance and insurance of assets and
properties.

The insurance act of 1938 was the first act to be brought to

govern all the institutions governing the insurance sector.
Life insurance was fully nationalised in India in 19th of
January, 1956. At this point of time there were around 245
insurance companies operating in India and they were all
brought under one banner of Life insurance Corporation
(LIC) of India by the life insurance corporation act.
When the then prime minister Mr Narsimha Rao and our
very able Economist and Finance minister Mr. Manmohan
Singh opened up the gates of the Economy for Liberalization
also exposed India to a deluge of Insurance companies.
Many private players started to enter the market as there
was huge potential in the growing population with growth in
disposable income.
As of this year there were 52 insurance companies
operating in India out of which 27 were non life insurance
companies and 24 were life insurance companies along with
General Insurance Company (GIC) of India.

Post liberalization the insurance sector has grown at a

tremendous pace in India. The total premium has grown at a
rate of 25% CAGR and reached a total of $67 billion in the
year 2010.India has very soon emerged as the 9th largest
insurance market in the world. But the penetration (which is
the ratio of premium underwritten to GDP) in India is still at
a very low percentage of a measly 5.2 %. The other Asian
counterparts like South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, and Hong Kong
boast of a penetration of the insurance sector at around
10%.

This makes the Indian market all the more lucrative for
foreign players trying to enter India via the FDI route as
there is tremendous potential in the untapped market.
Under the present guidelines there is a cap of 26% on the
FDI limit. But there are appeals being to increase that share
up to 49% as the overall of the Indian insurance sector has
increased to 2.45 % of the world insurance industry.
Under section 80C and 10D the government allows tax
benefits to the people buying the policies from insurance
companies. Insurance companies also get an EEE benefit
which gives the insurance companies an advantage over
mutual funds.
Like all the companies there is a rising focus on the rural
market. And this is a more suitable way making the aid to
reach the poor.

 RECENT TRENDS IN THE
INDUSTRY
The strategy that is being followed in the insurance sector in
India is the push strategy and not a pull strategy. Agents are
used to sell the policies to the customer by showcasing the
benefits to the prospective buyers. The policies with higher
premium resulting in higher commissions are pushed to the
customers as they help the agent in pocketing higher
commission.
The new trend that is emerging in India is the consultative
approach. This is the modern approach. Few of the
preliminary steps are similar to the earlier steps as the call
is made to the client as usual, but from then on the
customer is seen as a person to be served not a person to
be sold to, giving priority to profit motive. Generally, people
selling insurance have to do it with a mentality of social
service and not with profit motive.
The various steps involved in the process are
Step 1: Need Analysis
Step 2: Product Selection
Step 3: Presentation of the reviewed product
Step 4: Closing of the sale
Not only in the way the products are being sold but there is
innovation in the products itself and newer policies are
being formulated to full fill the needs of the customer.
At present life insurers are trying to concentrate on the
pension schemes where as non life insurers are trying to
increase their market share by bringing in more innovative
schemes. But with the increase in the presence of the
number of insurance companies and the competition
intensifying in the near future the companies will have to
think of ways to make increase the brand awareness and
brand visibility of their products.
The key differentiator for the insurance industry is the
quality of customer service and consultancy being provided.
Effective CRM has to be employed for the differentiation and
getting customer loyalty.

Even in the realm of distribution channels there are

innovations taking please. The traditional channels are
replaced by newer channels like corporate agency, bank
assurance, e-insurance cooperative societies and
panchayats. With the advent of information technology
newer avenues of comparing and buying policies have
emerged.

management

Customer relationship management (CRM)

is a multifaceted process, mediated by a set of information
technologies that focuses on creating two-way exchanges
with customers so that firms have an intimate knowledge of
their needs, wants, and buying patterns. In this way, CRM
helps companies understand, as well as anticipate, the
needs of current and potential customers.[1] Functions that
support this business purpose include sales, marketing,
customer service, training, professional development,
performance management, human resource development,
and compensation. Many CRM initiatives have failed
because implementation was limited to software installation
without alignment to a customer-centric strategy.[2]

Overview
There are many aspects of CRM which were mistakenly
thought to be capable of being implemented in isolation
from each other. [3]

From the outside of the organization, a customer

experiences the business as one entity operating over
extended periods of time. Thus piecemeal CRM
implementation can come across to the customer as
unsynchronized where employees and web sites and
services are acting independently of one another, yet
together represent a common entity.

CRM is the philosophy, policy and coordinating strategy

connecting different players within an organization so as to
coordinate their efforts in creating an overall valuable series
of experiences, products and services for the customer.

The different players within the organization are in

identifiable groups:

Customer Facing Operations - The people and the

technology support of processes that affect a
customer's experience at the frontline interface
between the customer and the organization. This can
include face to face, phone, IM, chat, email, web and
combinations of all media. Self-service kiosk and web
self-service are doing the job of vocals and they
belong here.

Internal Collaborative Functional Operations - The

people and technology support of processes at the
policy and back office which ultimately affect the
activities of the Customer Facing Operations concerning
the building and maintaining of customer relationships.
 This can include IT, billing, invoicing, maintenance,
planning, marketing, advertising, finance, services
planning and manufacturing.
External Collaboration functions - The people and
technology support of processes supporting an
organization and its cultivation of customer
relationships that are affected by the organization's own
relationship with suppliers/vendors and retail
outlets/distributors. Some would also include industry
cooperative networks, e.g. lobbying groups, trade
associations. This is the external network foundation
which supports the internal Operations and Customer
facing Operations.
Customer Advocates and Experience Designers -
Creative designers of customer experience that meet
customer relationship goals of delivering value to the
customer and profit to the organization (or desired
outcomes and achievement of goals for non-profit and
government organizations)
Performance Managers and Marketing Analysts -
Designers of Key Performance Indicators and collectors
of metrics and data so as to execute/implement
marketing campaigns, call campaigns, Web strategy
and keep the customer relationship activities on track.
This would be the milestones and data that allow
activities to be coordinated, that determine if the CRM
strategy is working in delivering ultimate outcomes of
CRM activities: market share, numbers and types of
customers, revenue, profitability, intellectual property
concerning customers preferences.
Customer and Employee Surveyors and Analysts -
Customer Relationships are both fact driven and
impression driven - the quality of an interaction is as
important as the information and outcome achieved, in
determining whether the relationship is growing or
shrinking in value to the participants.
Technology considerations
The basic building blocks:

A database for customer lifecycle (time series) information

about each customer and prospect and their interactions
with the organization, including order information, support
information, requests, complaints, interviews and survey
responses.

Customer Intelligence - Translating customer needs and

profitability projection into game plans for different
segments or groups of customers, captured by customer
interactions (Human, automated or combinations of both)
into software that tracks whether that game plan is followed
or not, and whether the desired outcomes are obtained.

Business Modeling Customer Relationship Strategy, Goals

and outcomes: Numbers and description of whether goals
were met and models of customer segments and game
plans worked as hypothesized.

Learning and Competency Management Systems - Customer

Capacity and Competency Development - Training and
improving processes and technology that enable the
organization to get closer to achieving the desired results.
Complex systems require practice in order to achieve
desired outcomes, especially when humans and technology
are interacting. Iteration is the key to refining, improving
and innovating to stay ahead of the competition in
Customer Relationship Management. (Successful tools,
technology and practices will be copied by the competition
as soon as they are proven successful.)

The building blocks can be implemented over time

separately, but eventually need to be dynamically
coordinated. The ongoing alignment of the basic building
blocks distinguishes an elegant seamless CRM
implementation which successfully builds mutually valuable
relationships.

Operational CRM
Operational CRM provides support to "front office" business
processes, including sales, marketing and service. Each
interaction with a customer is generally added to a
customer's contact history, and staff can retrieve
information on customers from the database when
necessary.

One of the main benefits of this contact history is that

customers can interact with different people or different
contact channels in a company over time without having to
describe the history of their interaction each time.

Consequently, many call centers use some kind of CRM

software to support their call center agents.

Operational CRM processes customer data for a variety of

purposes:

Managing Campaigns
Enterprise Marketing Automation
Sales Force Automation

Analytical CRM
Analytical CRM analyzes customer data for a variety of
purposes:

Design and execution of targeted marketing campaigns

to optimize marketing effectiveness
Design and execution of specific customer campaigns,
including customer acquisition, cross-selling, up-selling,
retention
 Analysis of customer behavior to aid product and
service decision making (e.g. pricing, new product
development etc.)
Management decisions, e.g. financial forecasting and
customer profitability analysis
Prediction of the probability of customer defection
(churn analysis)

Analytical CRM generally makes heavy use of data mining.

Collaborative CRM
The function of the Customer Interaction System or
Collaborative Customer Relationship Management is to
coordinate the multi-channel service and support given to
the customer by providing the infrastructure for responsive
and effective support to customer issues, questions,
complaints, etc.

Collaborative CRM aims to get various departments within a

business, such as sales, technical support and marketing, to
share the useful information that they collect from
interactions with customers. Feedback from a technical
support center, for example, could be used to inform
marketing staffers about specific services and features
requested by customers. Collaborative CRM's ultimate goal
is to use information collected from all departments to
improve the quality of customer service.

Geographic CRM
Geographic CRM (GCRM) is a customer relation
management information system which collaborates
geographic information system and traditional CRM.
Germ combines data collected from route of movement,
types of residence, ambient trading areas and other
customer and marketing information which are matched
with relevant road conditions, building formations, and a
floating population. Such data are conformed to a map and
is regionally analyzed with OLAP (On-Line Analytical
Processing) for visualization. This enables a company to
examine potential customers and manage existing
customers in the region.

Strategy
Several commercial CRM software packages are available
which vary in their approach to CRM. However, as
mentioned above, CRM is not just a technology but rather a
comprehensive customer-centric approach to an
organization's philosophy in dealing with its customers. This
includes policies and processes, front-of-house customer
service, employee training, marketing, systems and
information management. Hence, it is important that any
CRM implementation considerations stretch beyond
technology, towards the broader organizational
requirements.

The objectives of a CRM strategy must consider a

companys specific situation and its customers' needs and
expectations. Information gained through CRM initiatives
can support the development of marketing strategy by
developing the organization's knowledge in areas such as
identifying customer segments, improving customer
retention, improving product offerings (by better
understanding customer needs), and by identifying the
organization's most profitable customers.[5]

CRM strategies can vary in size, complexity and scope.

Some companies consider a CRM strategy to only focus on
the management of a team of salespeople. However, other
CRM strategies can cover customer interaction across the
entire organization. Many commercial CRM software
packages that are available provide features that serve
sales, marketing, event management, project management
and finance.

Successes
While there are numerous reports of "failed"
implementations of various types of CRM projects, [6] these
are often the result of unrealistic high expectations and
exaggerated claims by CRM vendors.

Many of these "failures" are also related to data quality and

availability. Data cleaning is a major issue. If the company
CRM strategy is to track life-cycle revenues, costs, margins
and interactions between individual customers, this must be
reflected in all business processes. Data must be extracted
from multiple sources (e.g., departmental/divisional
databases, including sales, manufacturing, supply chain,
logistics, finance, service, etc.), requiring an integrated, and
comprehensive business processing system to be in place
with defined structures and data quality. If not, interfaces
must be developed and implemented to extract data from
different systems. This creates a demand far beyond
customer satisfaction to understand the full business-to-
business relationship. For this reason, CRM is more than a
sales or customer interaction system.

The experience from many companies[who?] is that a clear

CRM requirement with regard to reports (e.g., input and
output requirements) is of vital importance before starting
any implementation.[citation needed] With a proper demand
specification, a great deal of time and money can be saved
based on realistic expectations of systems capability.[citation
 A well operating CRM system can be an extremely
needed]

powerful tool for management and customer strategies.

Privacy and data security

One of the primary functions of CRM software is to collect
information about customers. When gathering data as part
of a CRM solution, a company must consider customer
privacy and data security with respect to legal and cultural
environments. Some customers prefer assurance that their
data is not shared with third parties without their consent
and that it cannot be illicitly accessed by third parties.

Advantages of life insurance
industry
Risk Cover - Life today is full of uncertainties; in this
scenario Life Insurance ensures that your loved ones
continue to enjoy a good quality of life against any
unforeseen event.

Planning for life stage needs - Life Insurance not

only provides for financial support in the event of
untimely death but also acts as a long term investment.
You can meet your goals, be it your children's
education, their marriage, building your dream home or
planning a relaxed retired life, according to your life
stage and risk appetite. Traditional life insurance
policies i.e. traditional endowment plans, offer in-built
guarantees and defined maturity benefits through
variety of product options such as Money Back,
Guaranteed Cash Values, Guaranteed Maturity Values.
Protection against rising health expenses - Life
Insurers through riders or stand alone health insurance
plans offer the benefits of protection against critical
diseases and hospitalization expenses. This benefit has
assumed critical importance given the increasing
incidence of lifestyle diseases and escalating medical
costs.

Builds the habit of thrift - Life Insurance is a long-

term contract where as policyholder, you have to pay a
fixed amount at a defined periodicity. This builds the
habit of long-term savings. Regular savings over a long
period ensures that a decent corpus is built to meet
financial needs at various life stages.
 Safe and profitable long-term investment - Life
Insurance is a highly regulated sector. IRDA, the
regulatory body, through various rules and regulations
ensures that the safety of the policyholder's money is
the primary responsibility of all stakeholders. Life
Insurance being a long-term savings instrument, also
ensures that the life insurers focus on returns over a
long-term and do not take risky investment decisions
for short term gains.

Assured income through annuities - Life Insurance

is one of the best instruments for retirement planning.
The money saved during the earning life span is utilized
to provide a steady source of income during the retired
phase of life.

Protection plus savings over a long term - Since

traditional policies are viewed both by the distributors
as well as the customers as a long term commitment;
these policies help the policyholders meet the dual
need of protection and long term wealth creation
efficiently.
Growth through dividends - Traditional policies offer
an opportunity to participate in the economic growth
without taking the investment risk. The investment
income is distributed among the policyholders through
annual announcement of dividends/bonus.

Facility of loans without affecting the policy

benefits - Policyholders has the option of taking loan
against the policy. This helps you meet your unplanned
life stage needs without adversely affecting the benefits
of the policy they have bought.

Tax Benefits-Insurance plans provide attractive tax-

benefits for both at the time of entry and exit under
most of the plans.
 Mortgage Redemption- Insurance acts as an
effective tool to cover mortgages and loans taken by
the policyholders so that, in case of any unforeseen
event, the burden of repayment does not fall on the
bereaved family.

Disadvantages of Life Insurance

1) The Cons of a Life Insurance chosen carefully is almost
negligible. However the disadvantage of Life Insurance
arises when it is used as an investment product.
Insurance companies also promote these as people are
uncomfortable in paying premiums on which returns are
uncertain. They think that if you are paying for insurance
you must get back something. This is because of the
psychological make up of humans where we underestimate
the chances of our demise.

2) Buying Life Insurance when you have no Need

People buy insurance when they have no need for example
an old woman buying life insurance. Also the examples of
buying life insurance for a very long time period till you are
80 years old. At that age you have no need since you would
have no dependents and earning power as well.

3) Buying Complex Life Insurance Products like ULIPs,

Endowment, Child Plans etc which give sub optimal
returns Millions of people every year buy insurance
products without understanding it. Most of the complex
products give suboptimal returns and have no suitability for
the buyers. Agents frequently give bad advice to get more
commissions. Companies also make more money by selling
complex products which people dont understand.

4) Buying Expensive Policies People have little clue and

dont compare life insurance products even from the same
provider. Sometimes they buy insurance policies which are
far too expensive leading to heavy burden which is
unnecessary.

Buying Life Insurance is not Rocket Science however this

trillion dollar industry has made it complicated. There are
hundreds of types of insurance and products which makes
choosing a difficult thing for a person. But keeping it simple
like buying term insurance for your insurance needs and
other financial assets for your investment.

 Conclusion
&
Recommendati
ons
 Conclusion and
Recommendations

Conclusion:
With regard to insurance companies, consumers respond at
different rates, depending on the consumers characteristics.
Hence Insurance companies should try to bring their new
product to the attention of potential early adopters.
a) Due to the intense competition in the life insurance
market, the life insurance Return on investment, company
reputation and premium outflow are most preferred
attributes that are expected by the respondents. Hence
greater focus should be given to these attributes companies
have to adopt better strategies to attract more customers.
.b) Keeping the cost, quality and return on investment in
tact is necessary in order to tackle the competition.
c) Life insurance products are taken mainly by middle and
higher income group. Hence they should be regarded as
maim targeted income groups. Life insurance products
which are suitable for lower income group should also be
released so that the market share increases.
d)) return on investment, company reputation and premium
outflow are most preferred attributes that are expected by
the respondents. Hence greater focus should be given to
these attributes.
e) Private life insurance companies should adopt effective
promotional strategies to increase the awareness level
among the consumers.
f) Life insurance companies should ask for their consumer
feedback to know whether the consumers are really
satisfied or dissatisfied with the service and product of the
companies. If they are dissatisfied, then the reasons for
dissatisfaction should be found out and should be corrected
in future.
g) The LIC brand name has earned a lot of goodwill and
enjoys high brand equity. As there is intense competition in
life insurance market, LIC should work hard to maintain it
stop position and offer better service and product.
Recommendations to IDBI Federal
Life Insurance Co Ltd:
: Print & Electronic Media Advertisement should be used at
a high level especially TV ads should be used as its reach to
the interior of the country is strong and also the kind of
influence it show case on people is much higher compare to
other medias.
After the initial promotional campaign the relative
advantage of IDBI FORTIS LIFE INSURANCE Co. Ltd over its
competitor should be highlighted. Hoardings at prime
areas should be used.
The most important of all is to create awareness about
companys product as well as a brand in the market is very
necessary.
The company can use celebrity to create awareness about
the brand and also can collaborate with some production
houses of films and television serials which can reach
people in mass.
