Top Insurance E-Tailer Tests Podcast Advertising Attributes
Chicago, IL and Los Altos, CA – March 3, 2008
AccuQuote, a leader in providing term life insurance policies to people across the United States has launched an integrated podcast advertising program to be heard exclusively on the Personal Life Media, Inc. network.
The campaign tests multiple ad formats and compares two call-to-action options. It further leverages a number of unique attributes of podcast advertising including host-read advertisements and the ability to target the high-income, tech-savvy, 35-54 demographic that is the second largest segment of podcast consumers according to comScore, Inc’s “Podcasting Consumer” study.
"First mover advantage in emerging marketing keeps us far, far ahead of our competition,” said Sean Cheyney, vice president of marketing and business development of AccuQuote.com. “Podcasting is the newest medium where we can deeply engage our target customers and Personal Life Media brings a level of testing and sophistication to the medium that impresses me."
The campaign will run in 5 shows on the Personal Life Media network:
- Aging Gratefully: The Doctor and the Man from Hollywood on the Third Age of Life with Dr. Peter Brill and David Debin
- The Joy of Living Creatively: Tapping Your Innovation and Imagination with Dr. Eric Maisel
- Living Dialogues: Thought-Leaders in Transforming Ourselves and Our Global Community with Duncan Campbell
- Money, Mission and Meaning: Purpose at Work, Passion at Play with Mark Michael Lewis
- Purpose-Centered Life: A Plan for Authentic Living with Dr. Eric Maisel
There are host-endorsed dry-voice 30-second audio ads created by each show hosts some of which have an 800#, some of which drive listeners to http://accuquote.com/save. Moreover, a 4-minute advertorial interview with AccuQuote founder and insurance expert Byron Udell is inserted at the end of the programming. This interview is a personalized way to cover the many uses of life insurance, from providing income to descendents to gifting a legacy to one’s charity. This “bonus material” offers an innovative way for AccuQuote.com to directly support podcast listeners in making informed decisions about life insurance.
