Insight Report: Best Practices in Marketing Retail Banking Products

The global banking industry is changing the way it markets products and services, with banks in both developed and emerging economies adopting customer segmentation strategies to distinguish their products from those of their competitors. These strategies have increased banks’ client bases, and the number of potential customers. To capitalize on this, banks have expanded their product portfolios, adopted pricing strategies, and expanded into new regions. Banks are also focusing on the technological aspects of offering their products; using analytics to understand consumers’ purchasing behaviors and preferences in order to provide personalized products and an improved customer experience.

Promotional campaigns through traditional channels such as television, radio, print media and telemarketing have been among key initiatives taken by banks to increase brand awareness. The proliferation of video and mobile technology has also enabled banks to market their products and services online, through mobile channels and social media. As internet access and smartphone adoption increase, so does consumer demand for convenient banking services through these channels. Banks are therefore developing processes and employing new channels to respond to web-based consumers, create brand awareness, promote new products and services, identify customer needs, and elicit feedback.

Banks in both developed and emerging economies are increasingly using analytical tools to analyse consumer-purchasing behaviors whist identifying and phasing out ineffective pricing structures, or reward programs.
