Description

Company: Liechtenstein Life Assurance AG

Project:
The insurance industry is predestined for online sales, since the products are to a high degree digitalized. Through the Internet, customers and business partners can be served 24 hours a day.
Not all products are suitable for online sales, important are low complexity, short runtimes, flexibility, price advantage.
The insurance company wants to develop an online-insuring for existing clients. This would not only allow cross-selling, but also up-selling.

Challenge of the project group is to collaborate for the following questions or goals (guided by a responsible person of the company):
- Building a social media community of loyal brand messages
- Is a customer forum assisted by expert on the company's website an appropriate way to build a controlled network?
- Examination of the various social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube, Google+, Xing and LinkedIn.
- Which products are interesting for generation Y? Is generation Y oriented to a large extent on the own peer group as well as the respective lifestyle?
