Boston, June 10, 2020 –With increasing costs, customer retention is becoming a key battleground for traditional carriers, and home insurance policies can provide an opening for carriers to build relationships with their customers like never before. Consumers are discovering the benefits of connected devices, which are creating new data streams for insurance carriers to use for customer engagement. Matching the use of connected devices with personalized advice programs increases communication points with customers, enabling better marketing and claims efforts while building trust.
