–Highlight features of the product that address real-life situations relevant to the targeted subgroup, for example: Your children depend on you. Should you die suddenly, this policy will provide benefits that can be used for their education. This policy can be tailored to protect every member of your family–you, your spouse, your children, your grandchildren, even your parents and grandparents.
