The internet has changed so much about our day to day activities. From socialising, communicating with business contacts, managing our finances and personal banking right through to shopping, we can now do so much more online than we might ever have imagined being able to do ten years ago.

Internet shopping certainly offers its benefits. The fact that we can now stay home and do our shopping from our computer without even getting dressed is hugely convenient. In addition to that, you don’t have to walk around loads of shops to find the right product or ensure you are getting the best price for it. You can compare hundreds of prices online in an instant, something that is ever more important in tough financial times where we all want to stretch our income.

Term life insurance is one particular area where the Internet has revolutionised how we shop. As the name might imply, term life insurance is basically a life insurance policy that runs just for a set period – the „term.“ But how has this popular type of policy been changed by the Internet?

Well, much of it comes down to the fact that comparison is now so easy. Shoppers can find the policies they want quickly and easily and they can even compare quotes from hundreds of providers in an instant. The way that people research insurance has changed too. They can find out about a whole host of different policies and their pros and cons quickly, meaning that those buying term life insurance are often doing so after already arming themselves with the information they need. We now have more thoroughly researched buyers.

Another big difference is in the way that people can now check out the reputation of a provider they are considering buying a term life insurance policy from. Thanks to the open nature of blogging, review sites and forums, real consumers can now share their experiences of certain companies online to a potentially massive audience – and so many tend to do just this.
