Life Insurance Awareness Month is recognized every September to highlight the essential role life insurance plays in protecting families, securing financial futures, and building long-term stability. As a leading Independent Marketing Organization (IMO) in the life and final expense insurance industry, we believe this month is an opportunity to educate both mid-level to experienced life insurance agents and clients about why coverage matters now more than ever.
Why September Is Life Insurance Awareness Month
Life Insurance Awareness Month was created by industry organizations to address a common challenge: millions of Americans remain uninsured or underinsured. According to LIMRA, nearly half of U.S. households would face financial hardship within six months if the primary wage earner passed away. This month is designed to spark conversations, increase education, and encourage people to take action.
For agents, this awareness campaign is more than just a marketing initiative—it’s a reminder of the life-changing impact our products deliver. Every policy sold represents financial peace of mind for a family.
The Importance of Life Insurance for Clients
For clients, life insurance is more than just a policy—it’s a financial safety net. Whether it’s final expense insurance, term life, universal life, or whole life coverage, each type plays a role in ensuring that loved ones are protected against unexpected costs.
Key reasons clients should prioritize life insurance:
Final Expense Coverage: Provides funds for funeral costs and medical bills, relieving financial burden on families.
Income Replacement: Protects spouses, children, or dependents if the primary earner passes away.
Debt Protection: Ensures mortgages, loans, and other debts don’t become a financial strain on survivors.
Legacy Planning: Allows clients to leave behind a financial gift or inheritance.
Why Life Insurance Awareness Month Matters for Agents
For independent insurance agents, this is the perfect time to reconnect with clients, review their current coverage, and present new solutions. The heightened visibility around life insurance in September can open doors to conversations that might otherwise feel difficult to start.
Top opportunities for agents:
Educational Outreach: Host webinars, send email campaigns, or post educational content that positions you as a trusted advisor.
Lead Generation: Use awareness month as a reason to reach out to prospects who have shown interest in life or final expense insurance.
Policy Reviews: Offer existing clients free policy reviews to identify coverage gaps or upsell into term, universal, or whole life products.
Diversification: Explore new markets like supplemental health products or simplified issue life insurance to expand your client base.
