Conclusions • Insurance is a need-driven category; 25% of consumers are in the market at any given time. • Television ads are more likely than the average commercial to be recalled by consumers. • It appears that more people are conducting life and auto insurance transactions than claim to be in the market. • This creates a strong marketing opportunity. Marketers can reach people at the Awareness phase of the purchase funnel to capture customers as the need for a category purchase arises. • At 46%, television advertising is the primary category driver in the Awareness stage of the purchase funnel.
