Usability Testing – Key Findings

Users often come to the site with a specific intent. To expedite their search, the new design should allow them to gain quick access to relevant information

The new site organization reads well as a place to gain information about a broad spectrum of insurance, including facts to consider when choosing a plan and how to approach different aspects of insurance.

Consumer participants expressed a desire to have a “what next?” action step built into the content.

Users would be more likely to share content publicly on LinkedIn—rather than Facebook or Twitter.

Overall users understood the mission of the I.I.I. and that the purpose of the site is to educate

Major Difficulties In Writing Cyber Coverage

Complexity of risk

Lack of historical data

Risk accumulation

Threats are becoming more sophisticated.

Executives, boards, cyber experts, insurers and others struggle to keep up.

New coverages lack historical data, making pricing difficult.

Several insurers are developing common data requirements.

Cyberattacks could be massive. A 'cyber hurricane' could cause thousands of claims.

Some insurers worry that cyber is too big for private sector to handle alone.

Cost of Auto Insurance – Strategic Plan

1. Communicate to both policymakers and drivers why auto insurance costs are increasing.

2. Explain that auto rates are determined by a number of factors.

3. Provide I.I.I. member company communicators/government affairs staff, advocacy trades and state trades with the economic reasons that auto insurance costs are on the rise.

4. Empower drivers with ways they can reduce auto insurance costs and provide information on how they can shop for auto insurance and get the best auto insurance policy for their needs at the most competitive cost.

I.I.I. Strategic Plan on Auto Insurance

Auto insurance costs are rising.

More people are working, which means more people are driving for both work and pleasure. This means more collisions.

The severity of those collisions is increasing with more fatalities and serious injuries. Speed limits are increasing in many states. Quite simply, speed kills.

The costs associated with these accidents is also increasing with more people buying expensive cars that are more expensive to both replace and repair.

Medical costs and litigation costs are also on the rise.

I.I.I. Strategy on Auto Insurance

When talking about the issue we are careful to not use the word “rates” as we do not what to be accused of predicting where “rates” are headed.

Instead, we will be very disciplined in using the word, “costs.” So, we plan to say, the cost of auto insurance are on the rise.

The advocacy trades agree with this way of framing the issue and since the advocacy trades and government relations staff at I.I.I. member companies are on the front lines of this issue, all messaging is carefully vetted by those most involved.

Assist individual I.I.I. member companies in their communications strategies as needed.

I.I.I. Strategic Plan on Personal Auto Insurance Costs

Create a consumer-facing campaign on how to shop and save money on auto insurance for both traditional and social media. This will include reaching out to national consumer media such as the morning talk shows, as well as bloggers and print reporters.

The goal is to empower consumers so that they know they have options if they find out the cost of their insurance is going up and to make the point that auto insurance is a highly competitive marketplace where drivers have many choices.

Part of this campaign will include a Satellite Media Tour to reach targeted media in key states along with the broadest number of social and traditional news outlets

I.I.I. Strategic Plan on Personal Auto Insurance Costs

Monitor social media to learn more about the tone of the conversation and concerns about rising auto costs. Use this information to refine messaging on the issue.

Promote I.I.I. consumer article, “Why did my auto insurance cost go up when I did not file a claim.”

Promote I.I.I. consumer resources (articles, videos, infographics) on how to shop for and save money on auto insurance to consumer organizations.

Tactics Completed

Published white paper, “Rising Auto Claims Costs Put Upward Pressure On Price Of Insurance

Broadly distributed the paper within the industry, including the state insurance trade associations and through social channels.

Briefed national news outlets such as the Wall Street Journal, CNBC-TV, Atlanta Journal Constitution and others about the key reasons costs are increasing. A number of news outlets also filed stories including Business Insurance, CNBC.com, and MarketWatch.

Created PowerPoint slides based on the white paper for use by I.I.I. member companies.

Tactics Completed

Created an infographic (to accompany a consumer article) explaining how rates are calculated. It was used to defend the industry when traditional underwriting criteria came under attack from the Consumer Federation of America (CFA) and others.

I.I.I. spokespeople have given presentations: “Auto Insurance Trends”, to the Insurance Council of New Jersey (October 14); and Personal and Commercial Auto Insurance Trends to policymakers in Georgia.

I.I.I. subject matter experts appeared on NBC’s Today Show (June 20) and NBC’s Nightly News (July 1) to discuss auto insurance cost drivers.
