Insurance Marketing Case Study – Content Marketing for Park Insurance

Park Insurance wanted to target a few specific sectors within the market.  Namely, horsebox insurance, taxi insurance and catering insurance

After a relatively short time, Park’s keywords started to climb and their organic traffic increased. Once this had been achieved we extended the scope and range of content to include an extra 5 blogs each month, just on catering topics.

In addition to creating blogs, Park also wanted us to manage their social media accounts and provide email marketing. We promoted all the blogs through social and via email, whilst boosting their Twitter followers (by over 100%) and scheduling tweets with relevant hashtags to boost their reach.  With up to 15,700 impressions per month and with some tweets receiving 20 link clicks we were able to boost their traffic significantly.

On Facebook we handled advertising – with targetted promotion to their chosen audiences.  Being careful not to waste a penny, we optimised campaigns to achieve clicks at significantly less cost than is possible with Google Adwords.

The email marketing also meant an increase in traffic and an open rate of up to 58% courtesy of some clever subject lines.

Following Up

For this case study, we spoke with Partner and Commercial Manager Marc Loud. We were particularly interested in any increase in organic traffic, enquiries, and of course, sales.

Content

The content we created for Park Insurance was hopefully going to be good for organic search results, but more than this it had to be good for their customers.

BSC: Have the blogs, social media and email marketing improved your traffic?

ML: Yes. It has most definitely improved our traffic.  In the last three months (July to Sept) for example, organic traffic from search engines has increased by 10%.  Add to that the traffic from social media and email marketing and we are seeing a noticeable difference.

BSC: Has the content marketing increased your enquiries, and more importantly, sales?

ML: Yes. We’ve seen an increase in sales of approximately 20% over the last 12 months.

Concerns

BSC: Did you have any concerns about using a copywriting agency to create and manage all of your content marketing?

ML: No, not really. To be honest I knew we did not have the experience or expertise to do this ourselves – let alone the time.  We recognised the need to do this kind of thing but wanted to stay focussed on our day to day and providing great service to our customers.  Also, having a face to face with Derryck helped – we got on well, and he easily understood what we wanted, which is important.

Overall success

BSC: How would you rate our work, dedication and quality of content?

Marc: Excellent.  There’s no other word for it.

BSC: Do you think the content has improved your business profile and reputation?

ML: Yes.  I don’t think there’s much doubt about that. I also think it has made industry insiders look at as differently. I was at an exhibition the other day and a lot of insurers were commenting positively on the blogs. So, it’s also raised our profile within the industry amongst suppliers – an added bonus.
