  • De-Risk Connected Product Purchases by Addressing Consumer Pain Points

    Jul 21, 2020, 13:09 PM by User Not Found
    There is a wide gap between consumer interest in a connected device and their follow through on the purchase. On average, only about a third consumers who say they intend to buy a connected product actually make the purchase. According to Assurant’s Connected Decade study, this reluctance to fully embrace smart devices, even when the desire to own one exists, is likely rooted in a general perception that connected technology is complex and beyond the ability of the average consumer to master. While this sounds like bad news for the connected world, companies that can optimize their sales processes to overcome this perception stand to gain significant increases in market share and brand loyalty.
