FAQ
Glad you asked! Here’s a few basics to get you started.
A great guest experience hinges on seamless service delivery. Bitly’s QR Codes, links, and Bitly’s products can make it easy for insurance companies to share pertinent information with policyholders. Some of the ways to leverage them include:
Bitly Codes: Link QR Codes to your payment portal (via URL) to billing statements to make it easy for clients to complete payments, or add them to physical materials, such as business cards and brochures, to share valuable resources like risk management guides and policy details.
Bitly Pages: Create landing pages that contain your insurance company’s core policies, or share your firm’s social media profiles so clients can easily keep up with the latest news.
Bitly Links: Add to SMS communications to direct customers to your portal for seamless policy, claims, and payment management, or share claim forms and other pertinent documents directly from SMS or email messages.
Bitly can direct clients to a wide range of insurance communications with a single click or scan. Some common ones include:
- Welcome videos and policy documents detailing your company’s offerings to streamline new client onboarding.
- Account access pages to promote smooth onboarding and reduce the number of calls to support teams.
- Coverage suggestions to reduce the need for in-person meetings with insurance agents.
- Claim submission instructions to promote a faster claims process.
- Consultation confirmations and reminders to reduce the number of missed appointments.
- FAQ or help desks to promote self-service and reduce call center volume.
- Updated terms and conditions to enhance policy transparency.
Bitly Codes improve the customer experience in insurance by giving clients instant access to key digital resources via URL. With a single scan, they can reach policy details, payment pages, or claims submission forms on their mobile devices. This eliminates the need for lengthy website searches or long wait times, helping speed up policy sign-ups, payments, and claims processes.
Bitly Codes also provide valuable insights via Bitly Analytics, such as the materials clients engage with the most. This helps you optimize future outreach and communications for better customer experiences. For example, if customers most often scan QR Codes linked to policy details, you can create more policy-focused content in both text and video formats to help clients quickly find what they need.
Absolutely. Bitly gives you complete control over your links and QR Codes. You can use your own domain in short links as well as customize their back halves to align with your brand.
Further, you can customize Bitly Codes with your insurance company’s colors and include your logo (or any other image clients associate with your company) in their design.
Customization improves brand recognition, which can build trust and encourage more clients to engage with your links and codes.
