How SMS helps insurance companies

Insurance agents are busy. Answering phones, responding to customer inquiries via email, and converting website leads are all day-to-day activities in insurance. But the traditional ways to reach customers like phone and email are time-consuming and don't guarantee results. Critical customer phone calls often go unanswered, and perfectly drafted emails may end up in spam folders. 

On the other hand, a texting solution doesn’t have these usual hang-ups. Boasting high open rates and a direct line to customers and leads, an SMS solution gets the right message to the right people. Communicate vital messages about your insurance services to customers quickly via SMS. You can use it to answer inquiries, resolve billing and payment issues, and convert leads into customers.

Why insurance companies should use SMS

SMS gives you a competitive edge over the competition as it is cost-effective, time-efficient, and customer-focused. That’s why the best insurance companies are turning to a comprehensive texting insurance solution.

Higher response rates

SMS is more effective for the insurance industry than email or phone calls. Emails often sit unopened and insurance agents are inundated with phone calls, which often means long wait times. 

With a communications strategy that includes texting, your agents can enjoy faster, more responsive communication with customers and leads. Send an SMS message and enjoy a 45 percent average response rate. This is more than seven times the response rate of an email. 

With texting, you can engage with your community by writing individual replies, using templated messages, or scheduling automated texts.

Better client communication

An SMS insurance solution streamlines client communication. That’s because texting is built for rapid communication, and has excellent response and open rates. Deliver messages directly to the homepage of clients’ smartphone devices. When clients are sent critical information to their cell phones, they're much more likely to see and engage with it. You can send updates, promote marketing deals, or automate reminders, all in real time.

Harness the power of fast, effective communication with your insurance customers. Plus, be the first to respond to leads and close more deals with texting’s rapid response time.

Stronger client retention

SMS for insurance isn't just for sales. Texting allows you to stay connected and communicate effectively with insurance customers to increase retention rates. Use a texting platform like Textline to create automated triggers and workflows to follow up and engage customers whose policies are up for renewal. Customers will appreciate the reminder and doing so will help you foster strong client trust and create memorable brand moments. 

With texting for insurance you can build relationships customers trust, reduce the likelihood of your clients switching to a competitor, and engage with your customers when they reach essential milestones.

Text messaging use cases for insurance companies

Customer renewals and retention are vital in the insurance industry. Don't let your existing customers switch to a competitor. Use insurance text message marketing to let customers know their renewal date is approaching and offer them something special to stay with you.

With SMS marketing, you can facilitate customers’ insurance renewals easily and quickly. For example, you can ask them to simply reply via text to get in touch with an insurance agent for a streamlined renewal process. You can also answer their questions quickly via SMS. 

Share claim updates and keep customers informed

Filing an insurance claim can be stressful for your customers. They want to know if their claim has been received, when a payment will be made, and what they need to do to ensure it's resolved. Make it easy and keep them informed by setting up automated SMS updates.

SMS notifications like these help insurers build trust with customers and lessen the chance that they raise a customer service issue. SMS claim updates help your customers rely on your service and stay up to date with the progress of their claims.

Send billing and payment reminders

Your customers don't want to miss insurance payments. They want to stay on top of bills to ensure there’s no lapse in insurance coverage. But, the reality is customers often forget about payments from time to time. Use an SMS insurance solution to keep in touch with your customers and remind them about their upcoming payments. 

Use SMS to send payment reminders about a current policy or looming expiry date. This will help them better manage payments and prepare for bills. Giving your customers a helping hand with payments ensures they're always covered.

Use for insurance marketing and promotions

Reach new insurance customers and leads wherever they are with a text message marketing strategy. Send promotional materials, share seasonal offers, or follow up with leads instantly. Generate interest in your insurance agency and garner replies with marketing messages that get responses. Encourage leads to purchase insurance by offering them the option to engage with a sales agent quickly from their smartphone.

The possibilities are endless with SMS marketing for insurance. You can welcome new customers, upsell clients to higher-value insurance options, and send promotional SMS messages to the right people. 

Plus, with Textline, you can use automation to trigger marketing text messages to send at precisely the right moment. Whatever your insurance marketing strategy, Textline helps insurance companies like yours connect meaningfully and quickly with leads.
