HDFC Life has launched a new marketing campaign targeted at a niche investor segment that is well versed with ULIPs and is experienced in online buying. The campaign aims to raise awareness about HDFC Life’s second generation online ULIP – Click2Invest. Click2Invest is a unique online Unit Linked Insurance plan that offers not just financial protection but also a range of investment options. This first of its kind of plan is extremely cost effective as it invests 100 per cent of the premium and only charges fund management fee and a risk premium for mortality cover.

Commenting on the new campaign, Sanjay Tripathy, Senior EVP – Marketing, Product, Digital & Ecommerce, HDFC Life said, “Click2Invest has been a game changing plan for the life insurance industry. It passes all benefits to customers by offering 100% premium investment with just fund management and mortality charges – no premium allocation, policy administration and discontinuance fee. On this aspect, it directly competes with ELSS Mutual funds & at the same time retains all the flexibilities offered by ULIPs.
This is the first time that HDFC Life has created an ad that is not entirely based on the emotional quotient but is banking more on a pragmatic ground of investment versus returns. When an investor puts his money in a financial product, his greatest concern is to know about the returns. We have used this very insight to communicate the simple message of the benefits of Click2Invest. The story of the ad is woven around the low charges and how over a period of time, the reduction in charges helps to build a bigger corpus thereby making Click2Invest a superior investment plan over other ULIPs.
On the campaign, Vikram Pandey, Executive Creative Director, Leo Burnett, said “ULIP Investments are often subject to numerous charges. So they do grow, but not to their best potential. This ad, in an innovative way, explains how a small difference in charges today can lead to a big difference in your final savings tomorrow.”
HDFC Life plans to take its new campaign to the customer through different platforms and intensify the brand experience.
