Western Financial Group Works to Make Insurance More Approachable, Launches Giveaway Campaign
Western Financial partners with Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s Canada to offer amazing prizes with a national quote-to-play giveaway to introduce new audiences to its special brand of care
HIGH RIVER, AB, June 4, 2024 – Western Financial Group’s ‘Glamp Up Your Summer Giveaway’ campaign officially kicked off on June 3, when new customers can join existing ones to get a feel for the company’s exceptional customer experience. They are invited to get a new quote on a range of insurance products, including home, seasonal home, condo, renters, RV, boat, ATV, and travel, for a chance to win a range of seasonal prizes, including a $10,000 in gift cards grand prize for Bass Pro Shops or Cabela's Canada! Draws will take place weekly, and the campaign runs all summer long, until August 30, 2024.
“Insurance isn’t always perceived as a positive experience. As an industry we haven’t done ourselves any favours by leaning into the complexity of our products or by using fear in advertising,” said Igor Bubic, Vice President, Marketing, Brand and Western Communities Foundation. “This has never been the Western way of delivering insurance. We’ve made significant investments in customer experience as our goal is to deliver our services in ways that consumers have come to expect from the best retail brands.”
The company hired Lisa Colangelo as its first Chief Customer Experience Officer to represent the voice of customers, and to be known as an industry leader in customer service. “Western Financial Group is focusing on making insurance more approachable and retail-like,” said Lisa Colangelo. “We want our customers to feel cared for and confident in the purchasing decisions they make. A lot of Canadian consumers don’t feel this way about insurance, but we’re hoping this campaign will introduce a lot more people to our brand of care.”
“We see a lot of synergy with Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s Canada in how we deliver customer experience, and we also share an audience,” said Igor. “They sell a lot of the types of things we insure directly or as part of home coverage, like boats, trailers, ATVs, and more. These represent happy moments in people’s lives and insurance protects that.”
