It is also a sector, which leads to benefits across the full spectrum, from the individual who now have wider choices, to the economy, which see increased savings, to the infrastructure sector, which can look forward to long term funding being available. In an under-insured economy, newer channels of distribution have to be utilized to intensify the reach of insurance both in urban and rural markets. This will create huge employment opportunities not only within insurance companies but also as agents and consultants of insurance companies.

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 3Study on Consumer Buying Behaviour for Life Insurance of ING Vysya Life InsuranceCompany Limited in Hubli

The meaning of insurance is important to understand for anybody that is considering buying an insurance policy or simply understanding the basics of finance. Insurance is a hedging instrument used as a precautionary measure against future contingent losses. This instrument is used for managing the possible risks of the future.

Consumer behavior refers to the mental and emotional process and the observable behavior of consumers during searching, purchasing and post consumption of a product or service.Consumer behavior involves study of how people buy, what they buy, when they buy and why they buy. It blends the elements from psychology, sociology, psychology, anthropology and economics. It also tries to assess the influence on the consumer from groups such as family, friends, reference groups and society in general.Buyer behavior has two aspects: the final purchase activity visible to any observer and the detailed or short decision process that may involve the interplay of a number of complex variables not visible to anyone.

Marketing is a societal process by which individuals and groups obtain what they need and want through creating offering and freely exchanging products and services of value with others for a managerial definition marketing has often been described as The art of selling the productsbut people surprised when they hear that the most important part of marketing is not selling isonly the trick of the marketing iceberg.

Companies practising the marketing concept work at the level of customer segments, a growing number of todays companies are now shaping separate offers services and messages to individual customers these companies collect information on each customers past transaction demographics, psychographics and media and distribution preference,. They hope to achieve profitable growth through capturing a larger share of each customers expenditure by building high customer loyalty and focusing on customer life time value.Ability of a company to deal with customers one at time has become practice as result of advances in factory customisation computers the internet and data base marketing softwares yet the practicing of a one to one marketing is not for every company the required investment in information collection, hardware, and software may exceed the pay out. it works best for companies that normally collect a great deal of individual customer information, carry a lot of products that can be cross sold carry products that need periodic replacement or up grading and self product of high value.

is the difference between the perspective customers evaluation of all the benefits and all the costs of an offering and the perceived alternatives total customer value is the perceived monitory value of the bundle of economic, functional, and psychological benefits customers except from a given market offering total customer cost is the bundle of costs customer except to incur in evaluating, obtaining, using and disposing of the given market offering.CHAPTER III: Organizational Study

Conclusions

Our exhaustive research in the field of Life Insurance threw up some interesting trends which can be seen in the above analysis. A general impression that we gathered during Data collectionwas the immense awareness and knowledge among people about various companies and their

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 15

insurance products. People are beginning to look beyond LIC for their insurance needs and are willing to trust private players with their hard earned money.

People in general have been impression by the marketing and advertising campaigns of insurance companies. A high penetration of print, radio and Television ad campaigns over the years is beginning to have its impact now.

Another heartening trend was in terms of people viewing insurance as a money back guaranty and investment instrument as much as a protective one. A very high number of respondents have opted for insurance for such purposes and it shows how insurance companies have been successful to attract public money in recent times.

The general satisfaction levels among public with regards to policy and agents still requires improvement. But therein lies the opportunity for a relative new comer like ING Vysya Life Insurance Company Ltd. LIC has never been known for prompt service or customer oriented methods and ING Vysya Life Insurance can build on these factors.
