EXECUTIVE SUMM RYThe summary of the marketing plan appears in the beginning of the document
and gives a general overview of the entire plan. The reader should be able to
review the summary and have a broad idea of what will happen when the
marketing plan is executed
The project scans financial services businesses throughout the world are
increasingly using third parties to carry out activities that the businesses
themselves would normally have undertaken.
Industry research and surveys by regulators show financial firms outsourcing
significant parts of their regulated and unregulated activities. These outsourcing
arrangements are also becoming increasingly complex.

In the earlier days, bankers like any other private sector organizations had their
own plans of business development and adopted their own ways and means to
achieve their objective. The MARKETING concept was in the form of
advertising & promotion. This was the position till the middle of 20th century.
Gradually there was a change in the attitude of bankers with respect to
customers. In the late 1950s, new concept in the Marketing Services with
respect to banking profession, arose in the West. Deryk-Weyer of Barcelays
Bank came out with a comprehensive definition of BANK MARKETING.
According to him, Bank Marketing consists of
1] Identifying the most profitable markets now and in future,
2] Assessing the present and future needs of the customers,
3] Setting business development goals,
4] Making plan to meet them and managing the various services and promoting
them to achieve the plans- all in the context of changing environment in the
market.Thus, the idea of customer satisfaction arose in the 1950s, flourished in
the 1960s and became an integral part of Banking Services in 1970s. In the
course of time, the concept of Marketing widened further.
From the stage of customer satisfaction, the Marketing become more concerned
with the wellbeing of the Society as a whole & resulted in coining the term
SOCIETAL MARKETING. Hartley would call it as Response Marketing
attuning with or responding to the changing needs of customers society and
environment.
Marketing of banking services is concerned with product, place, distribution,
pricing and promotion decisions in the changing, socio-economic and business
environment. It means organizing right activities and programmes at the right

place, at the right time, at a right price with right communication and
promotion.
The users of banking services or the prospects play a very significant role in
the formulation of overall marketing strategies. The bank marketing activities
are concerned with the designing of product strategies keeping in view the
needs and requirement of prospect. It is also related with the place decisions i.e.
location of a bank at a suitable points. It has following unique features:-
1] Intangibility
2] Inseparability
3] Variability
4] Perishability
With liberalization and globalization of the economy, middlemen are
gradually emerging in the banking industry. Foreign banks and new private
banks like City Bank, Global Trust Bank and ICICI Bank are offering their
franchise in marketing their services. This has introduced the middlemen in
marketing of banking services.
In banking services, the marketing strategy starts with developing customer
profiles by which the bank can collect and analyse all relevant information on
customers. The preferences and prejudices of the customers are identified with
the help of these profiles and this enables the bank to enhance its marketing
activities. In order to satisfy the customers needs new services may be
introduced or the existing services of the bank may be modified. Customer
satisfaction plays an important role in banking services.

The ongoing process of economic reforms has completely changed the
operational environment for the whole banking industry in the country. Banks
are now required to cope with stiff competition in business and also the
complex regulatory norms regarding capital adequacy and provisioning.
Banks are forced to adopt various marketing techniques and approaches.
Thus, marketing has become imperative for all banks including those in the
public sector. Marketing in banks can be stated as a new phenomenon that is
shaping well over the past one decade. Public sector bank hardly considered
marketing as a tool for business.
The competition, deregulation that followed the reforms has changed the
environment for banks, where marketing has occupied the place in the business
of banks. Today, marketing in the banking industry is characterized by many
innovations in products and services, use of advanced technology in product
design, up gradation of delivery system, advertising and sales promotion
activities, whether in public sector or private sector.
Banks now have a firm that marketing strategies alone can brighten the
future of banking business. Marketing in banks has become synonymous with
customer and banks are found engaged in several activities of discovering,
creating and satisfaction customer needs.
Indian banking is at cross roads today. With the deregulation and
liberalization process in full swing, the consequent policy changes introduced in
the Indian financial system in general and banking in particular are effecting
unprecedented changes in its functioning.
With the emerging changes did spring up new challenges of commercial
viability, cost effectiveness, effective marketing strategy, etc. Market oriented
policies also gave birth to new players like foreign and private sector banks and
subsidiaries offering varied high tech and cost effective Service. There wasan

absolute shift from sellers into buyers market, establishing theconsumer as
the key factor in the market. The dictum as the bank exists because of its
customers, has become more pronounced and relevant in the present context.
Thus, marketing constitutes the key strategy for banks to retain good customers
and also anticipate their future demands.

DEFINATION

We define bank marketing as follows: Bank marketing is the aggregate of
functions, directed at providing services to satisfy customers financial (and
other related) needs and wants, more effectively and efficiently that the
competitors keeping in view the organizational objectives of the bank. Bank
marketing activity. This aggregate of functions is the sum total of all individual
activities consisting of an integrated effort to discover, create, arouse and satisfy
customer needs.
This means, without exception, that each individual working in the bank is a
marketing person who contributes to the total satisfaction to customers and the
bank should ultimately develop customer orientation among all the personnel of
the bank. Different banks offer different benefits by offering various schemes
Which can take care of the wants of the customers.
Marketing helps in achieving the organizational objectives of the bank.
Indian banks have duel organizational objectivecommercial objective to make
profit and social objective which is a developmental role, particularly in the
rural area.
Marketing concept is essentially about the following few thing which
contribute towards banks success:
1) The bank cannot exist without the customers.
2) The purpose of the bank is to create, win, and keep a customer.
3) The customer is and should be the central focus of everything
the banks does.
4) It is also a way of organizing the bank. The starting point for
-
8/13/2019 Bank Marketing .....Poojayadav
15/69
TYBBI BANK MARKETING
15
organizational design should be the customer and the bank should ensure that
the services are performed and delivered in the most effective way. Service
facilities also should be designed for customers convenience.
5) Ultimate aim of a bank is to deliver total satisfaction to the customer.
6) Customer satisfaction is affected by the performance of all the personal of the
bank.
All the techniques and strategies of marketing are used so that ultimately
they induce the people to do business with a particular bank. Marketing is an
organizational philosophy. This philosophy demands the satisfaction of
customers needs as the pre-requisite for the existence and survival of the bank.
The first and most important step in applying the marketing concept is to have a
whole hearted commitment to customer orientation by all the employees.
Marketing is an attitude of mind. This means that the central focus of all the
activities of a bank is customer. Marketing is not a separate function for banks.
The marketing function in Indian Bank is required to be integrated with
operation.
Marketing is much more than just advertising and promotion; it is a basic
part of total business operation. What is required for the bank is the market
orientation and customer consciousness among all the personal of the bank. For
developing marketing philosophy and marketing culture, a bank may require a
marketing coordinator or integrator at the head office reporting directly to theChief Executive for effective coordination of different functions, such as
marketed research, training, public relations, advertising, and business
development, to ensure customer satisfaction. The Executive Director is the
most suitable person to do this coordination work effectively in the Indian
public sector banks, though ultimately the Chief Executive is responsible for the
total marketing function. Hence, the total marketing function involves the
following:
-
8/13/2019 Bank Marketing .....Poojayadav

a) Market research i.e. identification of customers financial needs and wants
and forecasting and researching future financial market needs and competitors
activities.
b) Product Development i.e. appropriate products to meet consumers financial
needs.
c) Pricing of the service i.e., promotional activities and distribution system in
accordance with the guidelines and rules of the Reserve Bank of India and at the
same time looking for opportunities to satisfy the customers better.
d) Developing market i.e., marketing culture among all the customer-
consciousness Personnel of the bank through training.
Thus, it is important to recognize the fundamentally different functions
that bank marketing has to perform. Since the banks have to attract deposits and
attract users of funds and other services, marketing problems are more complex
in banks than in other commercial concerns.

HISTORY

In order to understand the present, you must understand the past. When you
study the past, which could be the history of the world, your country or even
your own past, you will find that there are patterns that occur over and over
again. History really does repeat itself in many ways.
Your customers have their own history and have different financial needs
depending on what stage of life they are living through at the time. These
stages of life are very similar for each of your customers and they generate
similar patterns. In addition, each stage of your customers life has a direct
impact on your banks profitability.
For instance, when your customers are children, they may have a small
balance in a savings account and generate very little profit for you. Later when
they purchase a car, they become more profitable and still later when they settle
down and purchase a home, they can become very profitable. However, late in
their life, when they have paid off their mortgage and have a substantial amountof their savings in high interest CDs, they can actually become less profitable
than at any other time in their life!
While it was possible in the past to review a customers financial patterns
and how they changed from month to month and from year to year, it was just
not a practical exercise. You would have to sift through reams of microfiche
stored away in some dusty warehouse. Now, with the advent of relational
marketing databases, it is possible to not only review a customers financial
patterns over time, but even predict in real time what the customer is going to
do next based on the actions they have taken in the past!

Something old, something new
Relational marketing databases have evolved very rapidly in the past 15
years and are now more powerful than ever. The oldest of these technologies is
the tried and true Marketing Customer Information File or MCIF.
Using an MCIF, you can perform research on a group of customers who
have a similar life stage demographic code based on age and income. For
instance, if you are interested in studying your wealthy, middle-aged customers,
you can examine the past product usage of the profitable customers in this
segment to understand why these customers are so profitable. For instance, they
might be profitable because they have a high balance in their home equity line.
You can then examine the product usage of the unprofitable customers in
this segment. You might discover that they have a home equity line, but the
account is inactive. After this research has been completed, a marketing
campaign would then need to be designed to increase these customers home
equity line balances. In order to do this, you would need to ship the researchfile to your direct mail house, have a graphic artist and a copywriter design the
direct mail piece and then have the direct mail shipped. In addition, you would
need to inform your Customer Service Representatives (CSRs) and Tellers that
this direct mail had been shipped and you also might need to train these people
on how to close and record the sale.
To complete this process, you would need to use the MCIF to gauge the
success of your marketing campaign. Whew! And, while all of this effort can
be more effective than placing an ad in the local newspaper, it still takes a lot of
time and energy on your part.
Realizing the inefficiencies of this approach (as good as it may be) the MCIF
industry has now integrated this technology into Customer Relationship
Management (CRM) systems. The advantage of a CRM is that the research
-

TYBBI BANK MARKETING
20
developed by an MCIF can be pushed out to every customer touch point and
various customer interactions can be pulled in for further analysis.
One of the newest and most advanced of these systems uses MCIF-like rules
that examine the customers history to predict what will be the most likely next
purchase by the customer. For instance, a rule could be developed for wealthy
middle-aged customers with inactive home equity lines. This rule could then be
linked to a pop-up screen on a CSRs platform that would enable the CSR to
engage in a profitable face-to-face discussion with the customer. If the CSR
were able to activate the account by having the customer increase their home
equity line balance, then this would automatically be recorded by the CRM.
The system runs in real time and is smart enough to know that if a customer
just activated their home equity line moments before he or she talked to the
CSR, a different rule would be activated and a different interaction with the
CSR would have occurred. These pop-up screens can also appear on Teller
platforms, ATM screens and personal home banking Web pages when thecustomer is interacting with the bank personally or electronically. The beauty of
this automation is that you as a marketer dont have to spend your time
developing direct mail campaigns or informing and training your CSR or
Tellers.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY BANK ?

A bank may be defined as a institution which deals in money. Banks draw
surplus money from the people who are not using it at the time and lend to those
who are in a position to use it for productive purposes. Banker is not merely a
money lender. He lends what he has borrowed from others.
The banks pay a certain amount of money as interest, on the money they have
borrowed. Similarly they charge interest on the money lent. Interest is always
calculated at a certain rate percent per-annum. The rate of interest on loans
advanced is always greater than that on deposits. The difference between the
two rates is the bank's margin of income.
Banking business" means the business of receiving money on current or
deposit account, paying and collecting cheques drawn by or paid in by
customers, the making of advances to customers, and includes such other
business as the Authority may prescribe for the purposes of this Act; (Banking
Act (Singapore), Section 2, Interpretation).
"banking business" means the business of either or both of the following:
1.receiving from the general public money on current, deposit, savings or
other similar account repayable on demand or within less than [3 months]
... or with a period of call or notice of less than that period;
2. paying or collecting checks drawn by or paid in by customers.
This has led legal theorists to suggest that the cheque based definition
should be broadened to include financial institutions that conduct current
accounts for customers and enable customers to pay and be paid by third parties,
even if they do not pay and collect checks.

The traditional concept of marketing revolved around profit maximisation.
However,marketing in the 21st century revolves around the customer. The
shortest meaning of marketing is meeting the needs profitable.marketing is
an art and science of creating and satisfying the social needs and wants of
profitability.
According to American marketing Association marketing is the process of
planning & executing the conception, pricing, promotion & distribution of
ideas, goods & services to create exchanges that satisfy individual &organizational objectives.
According to Philip kotler marketing is a social process by which
individuals and group obtain for what they need & want through creating &
exchanging products & value with others.
Marketing is based on thinking about thebusiness interms ofcustomer
needs and theirsatisfaction. Marketing differs fromsellingbecause (in
thewords ofHarvard Business School'sretiredprofessor of marketing Theodore
C. Levitt) "Sellingconcerns itself with the tricks andtechniques of getting
people toexchange theircash for your product. It is not concerned with
thevalues that the exchange is all about. And it does not, as marketing
invariable does, view the entirebusiness process as consisting of a tightly
integrated effort to discover,create,arouse and satisfy customerneeds." In other
words, marketing has less to do with getting customers to pay for your product
as it doesdeveloping ademand for that product and fulfilling the customer's
needs.

EVOLUTION OF BANK MARKETING

TYBBI BANK MARKETING
26
Historically marketing in banking in India emerged in late 50s. In 70s the bank
marketing scene started changing dramatically when marketing positions were
created in certain banks to meet the demand for restructuring banking services.
First major step in this field was taken by SBI in 1972 by reorganizing itself
on the basis of major market segments dividing borrowing customers on the
basis of activities.Canara Bank, Bank of Baroda, Corporation Bank are a pointer
about how banks of Indian origin could be market innovative and can manage
and respond to the change so quickly and efficiently.
Indian braches of foreign banks and the newly established private sector
banks also used these techniques successfully in funds mobilization and
consumer credit activities.
Similarly the financial institutions to tap vast potential of bank and non-
bank saver, used marketing concept by introducing attractive schemes(to
name,deep discount bonds, family bonds by IDBI,SIDBI,ICICI,SCICI).mutual
funds have alsobrought Innovative products to suit customers fancy and have
been successful in mobilizing huge funds.
It needs to be understood that marketing is just not the deposit mobilization
and the concept has to be applied in line with organizational objectives and
meeting the challenges being faced.

TECHNOLOGICAL REVOLUTION OF BANK

In todays technology driven, modern world, most organisations operate in
highly competitive markets, this is particularly true of the financial services
sector. Technology has been one of the key drivers of change within this market
and most retail banks now offer on-line banking services. Until recently, most
banks operated from the traditional high street branches, offering very similar
products and services to their customers. A product can be defined as anything
that can be offered for sale, this could be something tangible that can be owned
or it may be a service that is performed for the buyer. Mostproducts contain
both a tangible and a service element.
Product positioning is the way in which a product and its associated brand is
perceived by customers in relation to other competitive products. Different
customers value different combinations of product or service attributes, based
on the extent to which it meets their particular need at that given time. For
example, the diagram shows that some customers are prepared to pay a
particularly high price for a high quality service. While others, prefer a quick
standard service, for a low price. If an organisation identifies a group of
customers, who require a combination of either goods and or services which is
not currently offered, it will have discovered a gap in the market.
Intelligent Finances Chief Executive, Jim Spowart, has been a pionee r of direct
banking. He realised that while people were queuing in banks at the counter, the
customers who telephoned got priority. He felt that if telephone banking couldbe improved, then a fast and efficient service could be delivered to customers,
without the overheads of an expensive branch network. This was the beginning
of Jim Spowarts venture into direct banking. Intelligent Finance is the third
new generation bank Jim Spowart has set up. It set out to offer something that
no other bank was offering, therefore, filling a gap.

By embracing new technology, Intelligent Finance has developed a new
approach to delivering both products and services, in a highly innovative way.
This looks set to transform the traditional retail bank as we know itby putting
the customer first.
The proposition
Despite the fact that most banks now offer telephone and internet banking
services, most continue to function in traditional ways. Placing traditional
branch networks at the forefront of their operations. High street branches are an
expensive overhead and often offer products which do not always meet the
customers needs.
Intelligent Finance was launched last year as a division of the Halifax plc.
Intelligent Finance offers a phone and internet banking service, with products
that give the customer choice, flexibility and the ability to make the most of
their own money. Intelligent Finance offers five products; a current account,savings, credit card, personal loan and a mortgage. The innovation is in the way
in which the technology has allowed customers to choose to manage their
money and allows them to link the products together to ensure that their money
works for them in the most efficient way.
Technology has facilitated this revolutionary new system of banking. This
allows customers to connect products together, taking account of both their
borrowings and savings. This means that by connecting products together,
interest is only paid on the balance. For example, a customer may have two
products with Intelligent Finance, a personal loan and a current account.
The customer has a personal loan for 5,000 and 2,000 in their current
account. Intelligent Finances integrated approach allows the customer to
connect the two accounts together. The 2,000 in the customers current
-

account can be offset against the loan, so interest is only paid on the 3,000
personal loan balance and the customer receives no interest on the current
account balance. Alternatively, the customer can choose to pay borrowing rates
on their loan and receive the same rates on their savings. It is based on the
principle that in effect, some of what customers borrow is their own money, so
they should not pay or receive different interest rates on it. Given that the
amounts can change daily, the system will calculate balances on a daily basis,
allowing the customer to receive the best possible rate of interest on their
money. The system is unique in that it allows a customer to have a few products
or the whole range of products in their plan. Other banks require the customer to
have a mortgage to benefit.

Awareness among Customers
Modern technology has made customers aware of the developments in the
economic environment, which includes the financial system. Financial needs of
the customers have grown multifold into various forms like quick cash
accessibility, money transfer, asset security, increased return on surplus funds,
financial advice, deferred payments etc. With a wide network of branches, even
in a dissimilar banking scenario, customers expect the banks to offer a more and
better service to match their demands and this has compelled banks to take up
marketing in right earnest.
Quality key factor
With the opening up of the economy, fast change has been experienced in every
activity, and banking has been no exemption. Quality is the watch word in the
competitive world, which is market driven and banks have had to face up to this
emerging scenario. In fact, it may not be out of place to reiterate that quality
will in future be the sole determinant of successful banking ventures andmarketing has to focus on this most crucial need of the hour.
Growing Competition
Increased completion is being faced by the Indian banking industry from within

BENEFITS OF BANK MARKETING

Whatever your banking expertise level is, realizing success is easiest if you
have the perfect bank marketing plan. You can get help from a lot of marketing
consultant companies, but your success will depend on choosing the right
consultants for your bank's marketing.
Having a uniquebank marketing strategy will help you succeed because it will
set your bank apart from other banks in your area of operations. A marketing
company can analyze your business, create a plan for business growth, and help
you implement that plan.
There are many benefits to having a bank marketing plan; however, let's look at
the four advantages that can be gained from a quality bank marketing plan
proposed by a qualified marketing firm.
Gain New Customers
New customers are the backbone of any business. Long-term survival ofcompanies cannot depend alone on an existing customer base. It is your
marketing strategies, regardless of the type of services included in them, that
will influence a new customer to choose to work with you. In addition to direct
mail efforts, bank marketing incentives can vastly increase a bank's customer
base. Smaller regional banks that are not known nationally could benefit a lot
from this.
convince current cutomer to consider new products and servies
It is a smart idea to direct your bank marketing efforts to your current customer
base because it is a lot more expensive to attract new customers than to develop
the existing customers. They have already trusted you with their business for at
least one product, so it is just a matter of doing a bitmore and convincingthem

to further invest. A bank marketing strategy focused on incentives can do just
that. The worst mistake a company can make is to think that once a client is
secured that the marketing work is done. On the contrary, bank marketing
strategies must give much importance to these loyal customers. This is the key
to growing the "per-customer"bottom line.
Business Increase through Referrals
Referral bank marketing strategies are mapped out plans to maximize word of
mouth promotion by offering incentives to current clients. The strategy is usedto encourage positive customer feedback about your company and products.
Offering an incentive or a cash reward for referrals is a good way to ensure that
current customers speak highly of your services and products. This is a highly
effective type of bank marketing strategy, both in the short and long-term.
Get Your To Bank Stand Out
Doingbank marketingwithin the community often has the most successful
results. To step apart from the competition and attract new customers, banks are
make use of gifts and cash. Bank marketing with incentives will have an
immediate impact, and is a rather inexpensive way to gain instant results.
Customers are drawn toward tangible gifts and incentives and interest rates
along with various account-based incentives won't get your bank very far.

The world today faces huge improvements in all areas which directly or
indirectly affect the business environment. This environment becomes quickly
changing, therefore the organizations and their marketing departments have to
identify the suitable ways to deal and adapt with these changes to reduce the
influence of environment changes. Hence, the business organizations and banks
as one of these organizations should build a clear strategic vision to understand
these changes. Also, they have to use all available funds and human resources to
immediately respond for changes. This means that banks should adopt the
concept of change management which is a vital tool to face the organizational
or strategic changes. This paper aims to identify the relationship between
different patterns of organizational changes, marketing changes as one of these
changes, and marketing strategy of change that has to use to deal with this
change. The change management is a difficult and expensive task and yet the
ability to handle with persuasive demands and developing technologies,
becomes the critical element for eternity (Alsedairy, 2001). Further, according
to (Tuchman & Anderson, 2004) the challenge of change become slight if theorganization does not take the following four basic characteristics e.g. focus on
organizational objectives, integration of the task, structural and social/cultural
elements within the organization and finally flexibility and awareness. Also,
(Ander & Levinthal, 2004) concluded that the general management responsible
for the organization strategic direction frequently fails to manage the
organizations technological revolution and change procedure that generatethese opportunities. Marketing strategy of change has become a topic of much
debate in recent years. Whether marketing strategy has not changes, has
changed, or should change, has all been discussed (Burger-Helmchen,2008). In
the journey to understand real world marketing strategy change is not research
(Ghatas, 2006). (Veronique, 1996) highlighted the following five levels of
strategic changes that can be used to face organizational change: continuation
strategy, routine strategy change, limited strategy change, radical strategy

change and organization redirection. Further studies have confirmed that the
circumstances of organizational change can be varied complex by attributing
importance to concepts such as positive employees (Avey, Wernsing, &
Luthans, 2008), organizational culture (MdZabid, Murali, & Azmawani, 2004),
New information technologies (Bauer & Bender, 2002) and trust (Lines et al.,
2005).
The current study investigated the impact of organizational change in its
various forms on the marketing strategies of change. For this purpose, a study
model was developed which included the forms of organizational change and
their impact on marketing strategies of change.

MARKETING STRATEGIES ADOPTED BY
PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTOR BANKS

TYBBI BANK MARKETING

All the banks in India were earlier private banks. They were founded in the pre-
independence era to cater to the banking needs of the people. But after
nationalization of banks in 1969 public sector banks came to occupy
dominant role in the banking structure. Private sector banking in India
received a fillip in 1994 when Reserve Bank of India encouraged setting up of
private banks as part of its policy of liberalization of the Indian Banking
Industry.
Housing Development Finance Corporation Limited (HDFC) was
amongst the first to receive an 'in pr in cip le ' ap pr ov al fr om th e
Reserve Bank of Ind ia (RBI) to se t up a bank in the pr iva te
sectors. Private Banks have played a major role in the development of Indian
banking industry. They have made banking more effic ient and customer
friendly. In the process they have jolted public sector banks out of
complacency and forced them to become more competitive.
A countrywide survey reveals that while the private banks have got a tight
grip on the purse strings of the salaried
class and professionals in the country,
a large majority of customers in Corporate India still prefer the time-tested
publ ic sector banks for services ranging from securing credit cards to
making bond investment and fixed deposits. According to survey, 60%
businessmen in India prefer PSU banks when it comes to sourcing credit cards
and another 80% of them knock on the doors of state-owned banks for
securing personal and educational loans.The preference for public sector banks for insurance is mainly due to
general perception that they are more reliable, secure and trust
worth y. Bu t fo r c redi ts and debi t cards , the y fe el private banks
provide prompt and efficient service as compared to the outdated
services of PSU banks that lead to wastage of time and procedural delays.

STRATEGIES FOR EFFECTIVE BANK
MARKETING IN INDIA

TYBBI BANK MARKETING
47
Since the inception of globalization in India, banking sector has undergone
various changes. Introduction of asset classification and prudential accounting
norms, deregulation of interest rate and opening up of the financial sector made
Indian banking sector competitive. Encouragement to foreign banks and private
sector banks increased competition for all operators in banking sector. The
protective regime by the authority is over. Indian banks are exposed to global
competition. Even competition within the country has increased manifold. The
almost monopoly position Enjoyed by the public sector banks of India is no
more existence. Under this development Indian banks needs to reinvent the
marketing strategy for growth.
The spread of the bank in Indian rural and semi urban areas are highly
Different from state to state and region to region. Many states have fewer
networks of bank branches in the rural areas. Under such scenario different
marketing approach for different areas is required. If the bank follows the same
marketing strategy for all areas the success would be difficult.
Marketing approach for urban area: The urban areas of India are
developed taking into account all parameters of development. The level of
income of the people, the literacy rate and level of education as well as
awareness of the people about rights of the customer are higher than that of the
rural and even semi urban areas. Thus here for effective bank marketingdifferent approach is necessary than that of rural areas.
The marketing strategy should be based on customer service and the use of
modern technology in banking. Under competitive environment for the success
of the business, better customers and retaining existing customers is possible
only with customer service. Use of modern technology in urban areas will alsogo long way for marketing of banking services. Technology based service like
-
8/13/2019 Bank Marketing .....Poojayadav
48/69
TYBBI BANK MARKETING
48
credit card, debit card, ATM; anywhere banking, internet banking, and mobile
banking are necessary for urban areas. This is because it enables customers to
perform banking transactions at their convenience. Business hours of a bank are
also an important factor for urban banking. India many private sector banks,
especially co-operative banks and now even some of the public sector banks
have also started this practice and they find it successful.
To attract business and wholesale customers, banks need to adopt technology
based product and service which is suitable to such class of customer. For
instance RTGS, collection of out station cheques, issuing the cheques at par at
any branch in the country, cash management facility, DD butiques etc. are
necessary.
Another strategy for effective marketing is bank need to change the focus from
the traditional banking to universal banking. In urban areas the extend and
variety of economic activities demands that one institution should meet allfinancial need of a customer. Under such an expectation of people universal
banking would prove successful approach for bank marketing. The term
universal banking in generalrefers to the combination of commercial banking
and investment banking, i.e., issuing, underwriting, investing and trading in
securities.
A universal bank is a supermarket for financial products. Under one roof,
corporate can get loans and avail of other handy services, while individuals can
bank and borrow.
For increasing customer base and retention of the existing cliental universal
banking approach is effective strategy. Universal banking offers number of
benefits to customers as well s the banks. For instance, economies of scale arise
-
8/13/2019 Bank Marketing .....Poojayadav
49/69
TYBBI BANK MARKETING
49
in multi-product firms because costs of offering various activities by different
units are greater than the costs when they are offered together.
Universal banking with focus on retail customers made the ICICI banks to
acquire first position in Indian banking sector. Universal banking approach is
beneficial to bank also. For banks economies of scale relate to cost-savings
through sharing of overheads and improving technology by jointly providing
generically similar groups of services. Since universal banking basically
provides financial services the inputs like manpower, infrastructure is more or
less same. Necessary changes in the inputs can be made easily. For instance
training can be given to staff for providing different financial services to
customers. Moreover the most important benefit for the bank is that it is useful
to increase the fee based income of the bank. Financial sector passing from
lower interest rate regime at present and added to this the process of
disintermediation is affecting the main and the traditional source of income for
the banks i.e. interest income. All banks are striving hard to increase their feebased income to their bottom line. Universal banking can help the banks here
positively.
Marketing approach for rural areas: Prior to nationalization of banks in
1969, the rural areas were virtually without banking facility. At that time
unorganized sector was dominating in the rural finance. After nationalization ofbanks in 1969 branches of the banks were started gradually in the rural areas
also. Today more than 50 percent branches of the banks are found in the rural
areas. However, the distribution of banks in the rural areas is highly uneven.
Here banks have to face competition with the unorganized sector. Moreover the
rural banking is highly regularized activity by the Government in India. Lending
as well as interest rate is regularized. Thus under such environment different
-
8/13/2019 Bank Marketing .....Poojayadav
50/69
TYBBI BANK MARKETING
50
marketing approach is required. For effective rural marketing product
development, promotion and communication is important.
All these parameters banks have to balance with socioeconomic factors
prevailing in the rural areas. Bank need to innovate product that could attract the
depositors. Various loan schemes that are suitable for them for getting funds at
right time and also they find convenient to repay. For instance traditional saving
bank account may be given fixed deposit concept that once a particular limit of
balance is reached the funds from saving account is automatically coveted into
fixed deposit attracting higher interest rate.
Banks need t develop some scheme which would attract them to bank with. For
loans and advances products which are suitable to tarmers, small traders, small
scale agro based rural industries are already in existence.
Banks need to see the how value addition can be mad to these existing
schemes. Banks also needs to tie up with Non Government Organisations andvarious Self Help Group for different types of loans, micro financing etc. This
will help the bank for building good image and reputation in the rural areas over
and above the business. Another potential area which can be explored by the
banks in the rural area is retail banking. With the steady increase in the income
of the rural people there is ample scope for retail loan products like housing
loans and loan for consumer durables.
Marketing through customer services in rural areas is different from that of
urban areas. Here personalized banking is the success mantra for banks.
Because of high level of illiteracy people prefer to undertake banking
transaction themselves.

They hesitate to depend upon technology based service. For effective marketing
in rural areas bank should have staff with right soft skill like concern for
customers problem, positive attitude, good communication and negotiation
skill. At every level of dealing with the customer bank need to educate them for
banking activates and process. To attract the customers from the unorganized
sector most important factor is to provide. The borrower the required finance of

CHALLENGES FACED IN BANK MARKETING
BY THE BANKERS

TYBBI BANK MARKETING

After two years of responding to government intervention into the revenue
structure of financial organizations, bank marketers are now faced
with heightened levels of competition, a more demanding customer base, an
unfavourable rate environment and, in many cases, a shrinking budget. But
potentially most challenging to financial institution CMOs I meet in my travels
is the ability to respond to the shift in the ways we interact with customer and
prospects.
The flood of data, channels, devices and changing consumption patterns have
marketing departments in financial organizations of all sizes trying to determineif they are prepared. They are reviewing the skills sets that will be required to
take advantage of the opportunities these challenges present, and realizing that
gearing up may require a heightened level of personal engagement from all
members of their team.
These challenges are reinforced by a set of studies that I recently reviewed
that surveyed marketers from all industries. IBM's 2011 Global Chief Marketing
Officer Study entitled,From Stretched to Strengthenedfound that the majority
of CMOs feel unprepared when it comes to the explosion of data available
(71%), the impact of social media (68%) the growth of channels and devices
(64.5%) and the movement from mass markets to micro markets(64.5%).
More importantly, several of the areas where CMOs stated they were leastprepared were also those they believed would be the most important for their
businesses. As shown below, each of the top four areas of preparedness gap are
also in the quadrant where the impact on the marketing function was thought to
be the highest.

But while there were many references to the growing analytical side ofonline measurement and monitoring in the IBM study, only 26% of CMOs
surveyed track blogs, 42% track third-party reviews and 48% track consumer
reviews. The need for a much better understanding of ROI was referred to many
times in the study, going as far as saying that the CMO of today is in position
similar to that of the CFOs 10 years ago.
Turning data into action was also the primary organizational issue in
Unica'sAnnual Survey of Marketers,with the need to harness the power of the
mobile device and to leverage the potential of truly integrated marketing also
ranking high. As with the IBM study, the Unica research indicated that there is a
significant gap between desire and achievement, with much more progress
needed in the use of insight for better customer communication and measuring
the impact of efforts across channels.

What was interesting about the Unica study was that, while social media
definitely registered as the champion of emerging channels in terms of use
(53%), the enthusiasm for the channel was less than in recent years, possibly
signaling the desire to see more tangible results from efforts. This also seems to
be true in the bank marketing industry, where many are questioning the
financial impact of investments made in social media and wanting to connect
'fans andf ollows' into leads and sales.
Just like most other industries, bank marketers are being tested daily
during a period of unparalleled change and will be required to respond to
these new market realities:
The consumer is definitely in control of the business relationship, with the
ability to shop with a click and change bank partners without ever
confronting us face-to-face.
While margins are thin and the tolerance for fees is low, delivering customer
value is the table stake in the game both from a perspective of products
offered as well as access afforded.
There is a greater need for seamless integration of marketing channels with
an eye towards both effectiveness and efficiency.

TYBBI BANK MARKETING

Accountability for marketing investments has never been more important at
a time when bank revenues are at a premium, with new tools for
measurement and skills for assessment being leveraged.
Each of the above realities will require a more robust and continuous level of
testing as tools, approaches and consumer attitudes continue to change.
Over the last few days at theNational Center for Database Marketing
Conference,where hundreds of practitioners met to discuss current trends and
share success stories from a variety of industries, one thing was clear . . .there is
no silver bullet. In fact, most marketers are working hard to hone their skill sets
in a very fluid environment.
The good news is that there are amazing solutions being developed daily to
help marketers do their jobs more effectively. The bad news is that the change is
continuing at a more rapid pace every day. To be effective, bank marketers will
need to have both great learning agility and adaptability to 'what's next'.

TRADITIONAL MARKETING V/S MODERN

TYBBI BANK MARKETING

In planning for marketing technique development, most businessmen do not
give much thought on traditional methods. May be they are thinking more about
the many free website tools, applications and plug-ins at the read. Yes,
technologyhas advanced much faster than most, including what I had expected.
However, I see the traditional marketing techniques still being a part of an
important element of marketing a business effectively.
Whether a business chooses to use the more traditional marketing techniques as
a secondary marketing strategy; more like an extension of an online marketingstrategy or if as a primary marketing strategy, there is still good use and purpose
of using traditional marketing techniques. A good example of national
businesses using traditional marketing techniques is that of a clothing retailer.
Clothing retailers distribute catalogues to homeowners across the UK and is a
great way not only to advertise but to increase revenue and profits. I think it s
ingenious and perhaps works better than a TV advert; yes TV
advertisementstarget many potential customers, however, a person may see and
forget about the advert then go shopping at the local high street for clothes.
Where as a catalogue, from my experience is ideal, as you will see the catalogue
over and over again and then you keep it because it might come in handy not
only for you, but for other family members or it is simply something to look at
and flick through, whilst your favourite program is on TV.
In this case, is it the more traditional marketing technique that is primary or is it
supporting the TV adverts?

Some businesses however, have little choice when it comes to deciding which
marketing strategy they use to attract more or repeat customers.This is often
due to cost and resources or even suitability of the campaign and overall
objectives.
I personally think that for the vast majority of businesses, online marketing and
strategies are the hub of all marketing, however, you still need to be prepared
with your marketing strategy; both online and offline in order to create
asuccessful marketingstrategy through reaching your target market with your
message.

TRADITIONAL METHODS OF MARKETING

TYBBI BANK MARKETING

Here are a few traditional marketing techniques that are still being used
today as part of or a full marketing strategy:
Print Ad Campaigns
Catalogues
Leaflet distribution
Flyers
All of the above direct mail techniques can be used with a more modern
marketing technique and often works very well together i.e. the internet and
leaflet distribution could be a great way to reach a wide target audience. More
often than not, businesses will use two or three marketing techniques to try
achieving theirstrategy goal. Remember though, that it is not always best to
have more; sometimes businesses would be better concentrating on one area of
the marketing strategy and putting their resources into that specific marketing
technique as apposed to two or three.
The more techniques that you put your resources into, this could dilute the
overallmarketing strategy,so think about what is best for the company and also
what if it fails, can you afford to have one or two of the marketing techniques to
fail? Maybe one may fail but another one may be very successful and your
overall marketing strategy has not failed, but been successful and youll also be
able to determine the better of the two or three marketing techniques for future
reference. Sometimes we have to fail in order to learn and improve for next
time.
Traditional methods of marketing typically involve advertising through
newspapers, magazines, telephonebooks, radio, and TV. These ads are typically

In years past, when almost all individuals read the local newspaper or received a
new phone book every year, these were solid media or marketing channels on
which many business owners could rely. However, this is rapidly changing.
More and more people are choosing to get their news online rather than through
the newspaper, and a large number of households no longer take telephone
books, since it is often easier to simply look numbers up online.
Even popular magazines have fallen prey to the Internet age. Many of these
magazines do not have the same circulation numbers they once had. They too
have been forced to adapt to the constantly changing world of technology, and
in doing so, advertising opportunities for business owners who had previously
found success through placing ads in these magazines have changed.
In some instances, the change has been favorable desperate to retain print
advertisers, many newspapers and magazines has been forced lower prices.
Conversely, ultra popular publications have created a restricted availability that
rivals Superbowl commercial status. Lastly and sadly, many smallerpublications that support local business and provided hometown advertising
options have folded, forcing business owners to find affordable alternatives.
Although many of the traditional marketing opportunities have either
completely disappeared or changed dramatically, there are still opportunities
available for those business owners who do not want to venture into an entirely
new and unfamiliar world of Internet marketing. Sponsorships of local and
regional events can be very lucrative for business owners. They are typically
relatively inexpensive, and can be tailored toyour advertising budget. This is
where you can capitalize, as you are getting your name out without spending a
ton of money. The biggest potential payoff with this type of marketing is that
your potential customers now associate you and your business with the
community. Local radio, cable TV, and billboards are all viable options for

business owners with larger marketing budgets. If you have driven the 1-95
corridor, you will always remember the multitude of billboards for South of the
Border. More affordable traditional options include door flyers, windshield
flyers, and direct mail. Find a reliable marketing or printing company that
specializes in creating campaigns that suit your budget, industry, and target
market.
The 2 Keys to Success
To succeed in traditional and newer types of marketing requires that you
pay attention to the following 2 keys:
1. Know who your customers are and target them. The best marketing message in
the world wont resonate if delivered tothe wrong customers. For example, a
plastic surgery advertisement targeting middle age women wont work on
ESPN.
2. Craft a compelling USP (unique selling proposition) and offer. The offer you
convey in your advertisement must stand out, and you must convey why you
are unique. Are you better, faster, less expensive than competitors? And are
you offering something compelling (e.g., free trial, free consultation, first-time
discount) to get new customers to take action? If not, your advertising will be
much less effective.
3. Traditional marketing still works for businesses of all sizes. These strategies
can be reliable ways of keeping your business in the public eye and generating
new business without breaking the bank.

The various other factors which have led to the increasing importance
of marketing in the banking industry are categorized as follows:
Government Initiatives
The Indian economy embarked on the process of economic reform and various
policy measures initiated by the government resulted in the increasing
competition in the banking industry, thereby highlighting the importance of
effective marketing. The Narasimhan Committee Report evidence of the
Governments desire to reregulate the banking industry so as to encourage
efficiency through competition. The Government initiatives include:
Deregulation of Interest Rates
The bank may reduce their Minimum Lending Rates so as to attract Customers
(individual and corporate). Such reduction in lending rates Reduce the spread
between the deposit rates and lending rates, i.e. the banks margins would
decline and they would have to increase their volumes or provide attractiveservices so as to maintain profits.This calls for bank marketing.
Increasing Emphasis on Bank Profitability:
With the Narasimhan Committee Report, banks have been directed to improve
their efficiency, productivity and profitability. Banks are required to be self-
sufficient. In fact, the report has adopted the BIS standards of capital adequacy(though in a phased manner).
Foreign Banks
Foreign banks offer stiff competition to the Indian Banks and with their superior
services and technologies offer them a competitive advantage. Thus Indian
Banks have to effectively apply marketing concepts to attract customers.

Entry of New Private Banks
In the early 90s new competition emerged in the form of new Private Banks,
who brought along with them a high technology-based banking matching with
International Standards and have made a significant dent in the banking
business by capturing substantial share in the profits of the banking industry.
Reduction of Statutory Liquidity Ratio:
With the Governments aim of reducing the SLR to 25 percent, the banks will
have surplus funds for which they will have to attract users.
Social Environment
Increasing Urbanization, Education and Awareness: The higher
literacy level, migration to urban areas and higher awareness due to the
boom in the mass media have important implications for the retail banker.
He needs to be conscious of the fact the increasing proportion of people
are aware of financial service and are, therefore demanding and expecting
higher quality services.
Technology Development
Modernization of Technology has facilitated the introduction of new banking
services as to attract new customers. An example of this is the Automated
Teller Machines or the facility of Any Time Money. Also in foreign
countries, banks are experimenting with money transmission at Point of sale,
e.g., petrol station linked with banking network.

Credit is Easier to Obtain
Growing Importance of Non-Banking Financial Institutions: Fixed
Deposits being offered by the NBFCs are very attractive for the public,
because of the wide gap of interest rates offered by banks on term
deposits and that offered by the NBCSs. Further, they offer avariety of
specialized services to their customers so as to attract and retain them.
Disintermediation:The increasing role of capital markets in mobilizing
funds is reducing the importance of banks as intermediaries. Companies are
directly approaching the savers through the capital markets. Mutual funds
help in attracting the small investors who do not want to take much risk.

It is submitted that the banking system is on the threshold of a momentous era
of change and continuity in growth and development, of individual customer
needs and corporate practices, technology and competitions. The role of
marketing in the banking industry continues to change. For many years the
primary focus of bank marketing was public returns. Then the focus shifted to
advertising and sales promotion. That was followed by a focus on the
development of a sales culture. Now the focus is on the individual customer
meeting and even anticipating his or needs and developing trusting, long-term
relationships by delivering high quality personalized service. Marketing both as
a philosophy and an activity; is expected to contribute immensely to the
realization of goals both immediate and future. All though all the elements of
the marketing conceptcustomer satisfaction, profit integrated framework and
social responsibility must receive the greatest emphasis in the years ahead. They
must be guided by the dictum of Mahatma Gandhi.A customer is the most
important visitor in our promises. He is most dependent on us. We are
depending on him. He is not an interruption on our work. He is the purpose ofit. He is not an outsider on our business. He is part of it. We are not doing him a
favour by serving him. He is doing as a favour by giving as an opportunity.
