But have you considered how your loved ones would continue on financially if you were no longer here?
Life insurance is a simple and affordable way to answer that question. It allows you to say to your loved ones, “I’ve got you” … and mean it.
Use our videos in a variety of ways:

- Share directly to your social channels.
- Play the videos on a loop throughout your office for prospects to view when they meet with an insurance professional.
We have a variety of videos that can be used this way within our Real Life Story collection. Here are a few pieces of Storytelling content that we think stand out.
Educate Clients and Prospects
We aim to provide a variety of content that can also be used for educational purposes.
We provide templates for flyers, brochures, and videos that can be readily shared and distributed to prospects for different types of insurance.
You can leverage the content during campaign months to help drive home the importance of each type of insurance.
Flyers and brochures are perfect to print off and distribute in person or via direct mail.
Videos can be posted to social channels, embedded on a webpage, or directly sent to prospects through email via our direct link.
The true cost, reality checks, and myth-based graphics can also be leveraged to overcome misconceptions about insurance.
These pieces of content help provide details on the actual cost, use cases, and debunk common misconceptions about insurance viewed by the public.
Present like a Pro
Supplementing a speaking event with Life Happens Pro content is another way to provide valuable information that can be easily digested during a presentation.
Whether meeting with a client or prospect face-to-face, presenting as a speaker for an event, or even during a podcast you can leverage our content to deliver a strong presentation.

Info stat graphics include data from our Barometer survey that we partner with LIMRA to provide each year.
These graphics are easily digestible data you can include in presentations to help make your point and to show the public’s consensus.
Myths offer common misconceptions about insurance and we create content around multiple lines of coverage. Our “True Costs”, content helps break down the misconceptions of how much someone would need to set aside for insurance protection.
Go tried-and-true with print
While digital marketing has become a focus in today’s world, we understand that traditional marketing methods can still prove effective and are frequently used.
Incorporating direct mail into your marketing process can add an individual touch to prospects.
For this reason, we have created flyers and brochures for you to include in your direct mail efforts.
Our flyers and brochures can be downloaded from the platform in a printable format.
Alongside other marketing materials, you can include our flyers and brochures to be sent out during mail campaigns.
Some of our most popular brochures include the basics of Life, Disability, and Long-Term Care Insurance.
Brochures and flyers are also great to be distributed when meeting in person with a client as well.
