As a person involved in the health insurance marketing business, your brand is your business. In other words, your insurance branding is what creates the impression the public has when they think about your company. Successful insurance marketing requires you to have a public image that is reliable and trustworthy. It has been said that the importance of branding for healthcare insurance companies (as well as companies in other industries) continues to grow. The challenge of successful branding is breaking through the clutter of choices available to consumers. Branding plays a large part in the overall performance of a business as it develops and refines the public image of a company that is reinforced or diminished during each interaction with customers. 

Create successful brand recognition by following the tips listed below. 

Your Insurance Brand’s Core Values Lead to Consumer Trust

• Successful companies pay attention to every detail that might be noticed by the public. When you think about successful brands, almost all of them have aspects to their branding that are clean and simple. The ultimate in sophistication is simplicity.  For example, take a close look at Apple and you will see why they are the leader in simple sophistication.
• Your insurance branding needs to speak to both your target audience and the general public as your brand is the voice of your company. You need to tell those who have brand loyalty, and those just learning about you, who your brand is and why they should do business with you. In other words, why choose your company for their insurance needs? Accomplishing this task helps your audience grasp your marketing message and brand. If they are able to understand your company values and mission, they are more likely to trust you and become a customer for life.
• The values your brand must convey include trust, stability, reliability, and empathy. Even though insurance companies are here to make money, potential customers do not want to be reminded of that fact. The image of greed and financial gain is an issue for the entire insurance industry.  Your branding and health insurance marketing choices must address the concerns of potential clients and put the focus on their needs.
• When marketing your insurance company, remember that people who buy policies do so out of uncertainty and worry. They might think they are being practical, but insurance is designed to protect policyholders against things that cannot be predicted.

A Strong Brand is Compliant, Consistent and Productive

If you present your brand consistently through all of your marketing channels, you can earn 25% more money as a result. In addition, studies show consistent brands have a 20% higher value than those that are not consistent in their marketing message. As a brand manager, that should be enough incentive to make sure your insurance marketing strategy features strict compliance and consistency standards that are enforceable across all of your locations and marketing channels.
