Five Things You Should Know About
Consumers & Telemedicine
|
A new study on Consumers & Telemedicine reveals that interest among consumers in these health care solutions is high. But knowledge and use of telemedicine options lag behind usage. How do providers and insurers convert non-users into users of these often more convenient and accessible care solutions?
According to Zeldis Senior Research Director Jeff Mann, one important difference between users and non-users of telemedicine surveyed in the study is the source of knowledge. "Our hypothesis is that hearing about telemedicine from your health system or healthcare provider or your employer helps activate consumers."

ESG Investing - A New Podcast on Socially Responsible Investments
|
Both consumers and financial advisors want to know more about Environmental, Social and Government (ESG) investments - for different reasons. In a new podcast from Zeldis Research, Senior Account Director Fred Gaudios
describes the attitudes and behaviors of both audiences towards these value-based investments. The podcast details the results of a two-phase Zeldis study on ESG: a quantitative survey of consumers and follow-up webcam interviews with financial advisors.
While awareness of ESG investments remains low, the study found consumers who know about them like the idea of aligning investments with their values, even at the expense of returns. Even for advisors who sell ESG investments, it is a low priority however, and there are numerous barriers, including complexity of purchase, inconsistent approach by fund companies to marketing them, and few resources to learn more. But advisors say they offer them to give their interested clients peace of mind.
Other results showed that environmental and social grounds are more compelling to consumers for purchasing investments to consumers than Corporate Governance.
And a new concept Zeldis researchers tested on "Patriotic" investments - promoting company values such as "Made in America" and giving jobs to veterans - was found to be appealing to consumer segments not otherwise interested in ESG investments.

Thought Leadership Research - Conducting Research on a
Tight Time Frame?
|
Tight timetables are challenging for all researchers, especially for thought leadership research, which includes greater levels of review and analysis. Zeldis Senior Account Director Fred Gaudios shares a recent case study in conducting a client research project from start to finish in only six weeks. Using agile research tenets to plan ahead, helping the client plan internally to bring multi-level stakeholders on board to share results and collect feedback, and other techniques from Zeldis' experience, the project went from "Field to White Paper in Six Weeks."

There's "good, bad and ugly" news from a recent study on the research and insights function in the insurance industry. Interviews with insurance company researchers revealed that the majority feel their work is used to drive informed business decisions, but more than half also

by Brian Kiley of West Bend Mutual,
Patrice Nolan of Competiscan, and Amy Rey, Zeldis Executive Vice President.
