NEW PROPRIETARY RESEARCH
"Seen One Millennial, and You Have Not Seen Them All" is the subject of new Zeldis proprietary segmentation research, the third year that we have conducted and presented our own findings on Millennial consumers. The data, officially to be released at the Annual SIR Conference this fall  (See Below Article) will cover Millennial attitudes, motivations, and worldviews, such as optimism about the future, belief in traditions and institutions, willingness to embrace technology, and perceptions of the insurance industry. In addition to recommendations for marketing and communication to each segment, the presentation will explain why Millennial consumers should not be treated as one homogeneous, like-minded group.
PODCASTS
Annuity products are little understood by many of the people who buy and sell them. Senior Account Director Fred Gaudios shares three valuable considerations from our body of annuity research in this new podcast. Click HERE to hear Fred describe the methodologies that work best for gaining high-quality consumer and advisor insights into these complicated products; offer suggestions for knowledge and topic selection; and examine the important implications of not doing research on annuities. Or read the newly updated White Paper HERE.
VISUAL SPOTLIGHT
Here's another interesting example of an infographic that can help make your findings far more easily and quickly understood than the typical bullet point-filled slide. Let us know if you have a unique or innovative visual you'd like to share (confidential information will be scrubbed!). Meanwhile, feel free to use our suggested format for your own presentation. For more information, contact Leanne Storer.
