What is Insurance?
Types of Insurance
“Life Insurance is a contract between an insurance policyholder and an insurer, where the
insurer promises to pay designated beneficiary a sum of money in exchange of a premium, upon
the death of an insured person”. In India, there are 24 Life Insurance Companies.
Unit connected protection plans are a kind of life coverage plan that gives a double preferred
position of insurance and adaptability in speculation. A unit-connected protection plan is a sort
of disaster protection where the money estimation of an arrangement differs as per the present
net resource estimation of the fundamental speculation resources. The premium paid is utilized
to buy units in speculation resources picked by the policyholder.
2) Traditional :
“Traditional insurance plans which include term, endowment and whole life policies, offer
multiple benefits in terms of risk cover, return and safety. Traditional policies are considered
risk-free, as they provide fixed returns in case of death or maturity of the term.Customer money

living on the policy's maturity date, or to a beneficiary otherwise. An endowment policy
provides you with a dual combination of protection and savings.
b) Money Back:
The cashback approach is a strategy that gives cashback at normal interims. Percentage of sum
assured will be payable at regular intervals which is referred as Service Benefit.This cashback

compensation outs are called Survival Benefits. These advantages are paid during the
arrangement residency and on development; the rest of the Sum Assured is paid alongside
vested rewards.

risk cover in these plans will be of parents most of the time these plan come with inbuilt rider

In TROP Paid money cames back to customer once the policy term is over where as nothing is
payable after the policy term in case if it is NON-TROP.
“An entire life arrangement where A risk cover will be there throught his life incase of
uncertainityclaimamount(death benefit) is payable to nomine. The inclusion is stretched out for
whatever length of time that the protected lives, as long as the premiums are paid up and the
approach isn't given up.”

Stimuli refers to external factor create need/want/desire in consumer mind that are internal
factors &the process (search and evaluation) after that consumer will response.
The second step is about transformer: the mind will thinking, search and evaluation & take a
decision
The last step is about the output: taking action against information that may be positive/negative
(responses to the things).
“Black box model focuses on the consumer as a thinker and problem solver who responds to a
range of external and internal factors when deciding whether or not to buy. The external stimuli
that are consumers respond to include the marketing mix and other environmental factors in the
market. The marketing mix (the four Ps) represents a set of stimuli that are planned and created
by the company. The environmental stimuli are supplied by the economic, political, and cultural
circumstances of a society. Together these factors represent external circumstances that help
shape consumer choices (influence internal factors).”
“The internal factors affecting consumer decisions are described as the “black box.” This “box”
contains a variety of factors that exist inside the person’s mind. These include characteristics of
the consumer, such as their beliefs, values, motivation, lifestyle, and so forth. The decision-
making process is also part of the black box, as consumers come to recognize they have a
problem they need to solve and consider how a purchasing decision may solve the problem. As
a consumer responds to external stimuli, their “black box” process choices based on internal
factors and determines the consumer’s response–whether to purchase or not to purchase.”
The thinking going on in the Buyer Black Box is firstly influenced by cultural factors.
Culture
The set of basic values, perceptions, and behaviors that distinguishes one group from
another.culture is the most fundamental cause of a person’s wants and behaviors.
Subculture
“Each culture consists of several smaller subcultures. These subcultures are groups of people
who share value systems. This may be based on common experiences and situations.”
Social Class
“The term social class refers to a certain permanent division in society. The social class is an
important factor in the buyer black box as it determines what the consumer’s response will be.”
Reference Groups
“Reference groups are direct or indirect points of comparison (reference). In other words, a
buyer orientates himself/herself by means of a reference group.they affect the person’s
attitudes.behavior also means the creation of a certain pressure to conform.”
Family
“The family is often the most powerful influence on consumer buying behavior. For instance,
the husband-wife relationship and involvement may greatly affect an individual’s buying
behavior.”
“Each role carries a certain status that reflects the general esteem given to it by society.Since
people usually choose products based on their roles and status, as the above-mentioned example
shows, this factor can greatly influence the buyer black box.”
“People do not buy the same goods over their lifetimes. Instead, tastes in food, clothes, furniture
and style are often related to age.”
Occupation
“Without a doubt, the buyer black box is strongly influenced by the person’s occupation. For
instance, blue-collar workers will tend to buy more rugged clothes for work. Marketers must try
to identify these occupational groups. They should find the one which has the highest interest in
their products.””
Economic situation
“It will affect his/her product and store choices. For instance, personal income, savings, and
other factors influence what a buyer will purchase where, when, and how much.”
Lifestyle
“Lifestyle refers to a person’s pattern of living. This pattern can be expressed in the person’s
activities, interests and opinions, the so-called AIO dimensions.Consumers do not buy products,
they buy the lifestyles and values those products represent.”
Personality
“It means nothing the unique psychological characteristics distinguishing one person from
another. It is often described in terms of traits.”
Motivation
“Motives are needs that are sufficiently pressing to direct the person to seek fulfillment of the
need. Needs can be of various natures. And those needs can become a motive when they are
sufficiently intensive.”
Perception
“Perception is the process by which a person selects, organizes and interprets information. By
that process, a meaningful picture of the world is generated.”
Learning
“Learning is another factor contributing to the stimulus-transformation in the buyer black box.
Every time a person acts, he or she learns. This means a change in his or her behavior arising
from experience.”
“Through all the doing and learning, a person acquires beliefs and attitudes. These factors, in
turn, influence the buyer black box. If a buyer has negative beliefs about a product based on
learning, it is unlikely that he or she will buy it in the future. Therefore, marketers should
concentrate on trying to fit the products into existing attitudes instead of attempting to change
them.”

8: CONCLUSION
“Our study on the field of Life Insurance hurled some intriguing patterns which can be found in
the above investigation. A general impression that we assembled during Data gathering was the
tremendous mindfulness and learning among individuals about different organizations and their
protection items.”
“Individuals are starting to look past LIC for their protection needs and are eager to confide in
private players with their well-deserved cash. Individuals, when all is said in done, have been
intrigued by the showcasing and promoting efforts of insurance agencies. A high entrance of
print, radio and Television promotion battles throughout the years is starting to have its effect
now. Another delighting pattern was as far as individuals seeing protection as an assessment
sparing and speculation instrument as much as a defensive one. An exceptionally high number
of respondents have decided on protection for such purposes and it indicates how insurance
agencies have been effective to pull in open cash as of late.”
“The general fulfillment levels among open non-probability strategy specialists still require
improvement. In any case, in that lies the open door for a relative newcomer like Exide Life
Insurance Company Ltd. LIC has never been known for brief assistance or client situated
strategies and Exide Life can expand on these components.”
9: SUGGESTIONS
“In Hubballi most of the people are working in Government and Business sector and they don’t
have much financial planning. Another important point is they have a good compensation
package so the company should bring more innovative and should carry out more promotional
activities in government fields. Better promotion of unit-linked insurance plans can generate
more sales to the company.”
“Exide Life Insurance Company’s unit-linked insurance plans can effectively meet the
requirements of the customers because unit-linked plans are directly related to the market, so the
customers can create more wealth through funds and they can enjoy the tax benefit, and also the
insurance cover.”
As the awareness of insurance is less among the people,its awareness should be created
among the people by conducting stage shows and explaining its need and importance.”
It is also recommended to concentrate on lower-income group people.”
Follow up should be taken and customer relationships should be maintained by inviting
the existing customers to the seminars conducted when launching a new product or any
changes are made to the products or rules to retain them.”
Coming with new promotional activities like giving new advertisements, keeping stalls,
conducting seminars in companies, and giving ads through SMS can be done by Exide
Life insurance Co. to create awareness among customers.”
