The Channel Metrics briefing about private medical insurance is the most detailed and up-to-date guide to distribution trends in private medical insurance in the UK available on a published basis. It analyses: how consumers acquire private medical insurance – e.g. online, telephone, post or in person; from whom they acquire them – e.g. direct from the provider, through intermediaries or affinity schemes; and how often they acquire them – i.e. how many consumers acquired private medical insurance in the last year, either for the first time or by switching provider instead of renewing or carrying on with an existing product. Findings from this survey are compared with those from 2005 and 2007 to show trends over time.

Channel Metrics is a series of 25 briefings and an overview report based on original consumer research with a total sample of 3,000 respondents investigating trends in consumer distribution channel usage in financial services in Germany. In addition to gathering data for overall take-up rates and annual churn rates across the various financial products and services considered, the research also yields results regarding the distribution interface and specific distribution channel used to purchase or take out the same financial services during 2008. Moreover, with a view to understanding how distribution dynamics are changing, this data is compared with the choices made by customers for each product in all years prior to 2008. In order to provide clear insights into the subject, this analysis of distribution interfaces and channels incorporates only the responses of consumers making an active choice of distribution channels during the period in question. Consumers making or intending to make an active choice are defined as those who switch provider for a given financial product or service during the time frame under review or those buying the product or service having not held it during the previous year, thereby excluding respondents who merely remain with the same provider. As such, the Channel Metrics series constitutes the most detailed and up-to-date guide to distribution trends in consumer financial services in Germany available on a published basis. Key questions addressed by the research include the following: – what is the rate of progress of the Internet as a distribution interface and online aggregators and price comparison providers as a specific distribution channel and how does this vary from product to product? – for which financial products and services does there appear to be a consistent requirement on the part of consumers for face-to-face interaction? – to what extent are private banks, savings banks and co-operative banks increasing their ma
