Progressive Insurance
built 653 days ago
Several years ago Progressive Insurance introduced an innovative feature on its Web site: The company compares its premiums with those of three other insurance companies. Why does Progressive share competitive information? Price becomes less important. Ironically, displaying competitors' prices actually makes consumers focus less on price. As consumers do not have to shop other sites for prices, they can actually spend their time learning about how Progressive differentiates itself. It builds trust.
