Join Life Happens for a Twitter Chat during Insure Your Love month this February. We’ll discuss new data from our latest study “For Love and Money” that analyzes the way people express or receive love and how that changes finances and financial conversations in their relationship.
Love can be expressed in many ways: a knowing glance, a kind deed, shared memories, a thoughtful gift, words of encouragement — and with life insurance. We hope this chat serves as a reminder that getting life insurance is an act of love that goes beyond words. We anticipate plenty of activity from consumers, the media, insurance companies, agents and advisors. Last year’s #InsureYourLove Twitter Chat garnered 4.3+ million impressions.
Date: Tuesday, February 15 from 1 to 2 p.m. EST
