What is Life Insurance Awareness Month?
Life Insurance Awareness Month was created by the non-profit organization, Life Happens, to remind Americans to add life insurance to their financial plans.
Hundreds of financial professionals and industry groups across the country join this educational initiative yearly. This year’s theme, “Reality Check: The time for life insurance is now,” addresses how COVID-19 has shown us that life changes quickly, and how to protect your loved ones financially.

Put It in Print
Although printed marketing materials may be considered old fashioned, they’re still advantageous to initiate customer conversations within your office. Think about sending a post-card style mailer alerting your clients that it is National Life Insurance Awareness Month. You can include a fun fact or an educational resource, and ask if they have any referrals who may benefit from learning more about Life Insurance.
Become an Industry Expert
Take this time to refresh your knowledge in addressing the complexities of life insurance with prospects. Although some people may consider life insurance an unsettling topic, you can use this month as a platform to answer their questions or concerns, giving them peace of mind. People are more likely to purchase from someone they trust—91% of consumers report that they would rather buy from an authentic brand.
