The word “Bank” is originated from the German word “Bank” which means
heap or mound or joint stock fund. From this, the Italian word “banco” meaning
heap of money was coined. The English meaning of “bank” is prevalent today,
i.e., as an institution accepting money as deposits for lending.
For a common person it may be just a storehouse where he may store his
money; for a businessman it may be a financial institution and a day-to-day
customer it may be an institution where he can deposit his savings.
Bank plays an important role in the economy of any country as they hold
the saving of the public. Provides a means of payment for the goods and services
and provide necessary finance for the development of business and trade. Bank
may also be defined as a financial institution that links the flow of funds from
savers to the users.

BANKING SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
Bank safeguards money and valuable and provide loans, credit, and payment
services such as checking accounts, money orders, and cashier’s checks. Banks
also may offer investment and insurance products, which they were once
prohibited from selling. As a variety of models for cooperation and integration
among finance industries have emerged, some of the traditional distinctions
between banks, insurance companies, and securities firms have diminished. In
spite of these changes, banks continue to maintain and perform their primary role
accepting notes and lending funds from these deposits. There are several types of
banks which differ in the number of services they provide and the clientele they
serve. Although some of the differences between these types of banks have
lessened as they begin to expand the range of products and services they offer,
there are still key distinguishing traits.

MARKETING OF BANKING SERVICES
GLOBAL BANKS:
They are involved in international lending and foreign currency trading, in
addition to the more typical banking services.
REGIONAL BANKS:
They have numerous branches and automated teller machines (ATM) locations
throughout a multi-state that provide banking services to individuals. Banks have
become more oriented toward MARKETING AND SALES. As a result,
employees need to know about all types of products and services offered by
banks. Community banks are based locally and offer more personal attention,
which many individuals and small businesses prefer. However, many traditional
banks have also expanded to offer online banking, and some formerly internet
only banks are opting to open branches.
SAVINGS BANKS:
Savings and loan associations, sometimes called thrift institutions are the second
largest group of depository institutions. They were first established as community.
The structure of banking differs from country to country depending upon their
economic conditions, political structure and financial system. Banks can be
classified on the basis of operations, business pattern and areas of operations.
They are termed as systems of banking.

CORRESPONDENT BANKING:
It is the system developed to remove the difficulties in unit banking systems. In
this system unit banks are linked with bigger banks. The bigger banks, with which
such deposits are so made, are called correspondent banks. Therefore
correspondent banks are intermediaries through which all banks are linked with
bigger banks in financial centers. This system is very common in international
banking transactions.
GROUP BANKING:
It is a system in which two or more independently incorporated banks are brought
under the control of holding company. The holding company may or may not be a
banking company. Under group banking the individual’s banks may be unit banks
or operating branches or a combination of the two. This system has developed in
United States in 1990. It became popular and extensively developed in 1920

SERVICES
Meaning of Service
A service is an activity or benefit that one party can offer to another which is
essentially intangible and does not result in the ownership of anything. Its
production may or may not tie to a physical product. "Thus services are separately
identifiable: essentially intangible activities which provide want satisfaction and
that are not necessarily tied to the sale of a product or service. To produce a
service may not require the use of tangible goods. However, when such use is
required there is no transfer of title [permanent ownership] to those tangible
goods."
7
MARKETING OF BANKING SERVICES
When a customer buys a service in the service market, he buys the time,
knowledge, skill or resources of someone else who is the provider or supplier of
the service. The buyer receives only satisfaction or benefits from the activities of
the provider who may be an individual, a firm or a company specializing in
selling certain benefits or satisfaction.
CHARACTERISTICS
OF SERVICES
Services have four important
characteristics which make them so different from physical products.
INTANGIBILITY
The distinguishing feature of a service is its dominant
intangible aspect. Some intangible features as listed by ‘J. Bateson’
are:
Pre-testing the service is not possible as they cannot be seen, tasted, felt, heard
and smelt before they are bought. When a prospective customer cannot experience
the product in advance they are asked to buy what are essentially promises of
satisfaction. The buyer has to have faith in the service-provider. Client's
confidence in the service can be created by taking the help of celebrities,
developing a brand name, increasing services tangibility, emphasizing services
benefits rather than just describing its features.
8
MARKETING OF BANKING SERVICES
INSEPARABILITY
A service cannot be separated from its provider. This is in direct contrast
to a physical product, which exists whether or not its source is present. As
the provider only can render the service(s), it limits the firm's scale of
operation. To overcome this limitation the service provider can learn to
work with larger groups, to work, faster or the service organization can
train more service providers.
VARIABILITY
In most cases human element is involved in providing service. Thus depending
upon who provides them and when and where they are provided the quality of
service is bound to vary. Standardization becomes a difficult task to achieve. So
to ensure quality, service firms should take care to select proper personnel and
give them adequate training for the work and should have a proper system to
monitor customer satisfaction.
PERISHABILITY
Services cannot be stored. So services not utilized are lost forever. Perish ability
of service is not a problem as long as the demand for the same is steady. Number
of service, providers (staff) can be planned in advance for expected demand. But
it becomes a problem when it faces fluctuating demand. So, to overcome this
problem, the service concerns should have proper product planning, pricing, and
built-in flexibility in the organization.
OWNERSHIP
In the case of goods, after the completion of process, the goods are transferred in
the name of the buyer and he becomes the owner of the goods. But in case of
services, we do not find this. For e.g. a consumer can use hotel room or
swimming pool, however the ownership remains with the providers.

CLASSIFICATION OF SERVICES
There is wide variation in the nature of services rendered which
makes it difficult to classify them in a particular manner. They can be classified
from different angles.
Second, the delivery of service may require the presence of client or may not.
If delivery of service required the presence of client it demands something extra
from the service provider to be alert and considerate of the client's needs.
Third, the service can be classified on the basis of clients purchase motives. If the
service meets a personal need it may be termed as personal service or if it meets a
business need it may be termed as a business service.
Fourth, on the basis of service providers motives (profit or non-profit) and form
(private or public) services can be categorized into four types by taking two
Characteristics at a time, i.e. private profit seeking, private charitable and
similarly public profit seeking, public charitable.

SERVICE MARKETING
Introduction
On the basis of survey of literature, an attempt has been made to
trace the evolution of marketing, explain the marketing concept such as its
meaning and definition, point out peculiarities of service marketing, and its
relevance relationship of marketing to banking business, and growth of bank
marketing. A brief account of bank marketing sense in India has also been
attempted.
CONCEPT OF MARKETING
An analysis of contemporary literature reveals clearly is
conceptual variation in the use of the term marketing. They describe it as a
“function”, an “orientation” or an “attitude” or a management science or
technique. A closure analysis would reveal that marketing in fact conveys all of
these and often more. An attempt is made here to trace the evolution of marketing
and deal with all such concepts through which marketing has been viewed.
11
MARKETING OF BANKING SERVICES
said as a ‘self-sufficient stage’. Each family then was a self-sufficient unit as far
as production and consumption were concerned. Barter system came into vogue
giving rise to an ‘exchange oriented’ stage. To facilitate this exchange process
central market were developed. These developments laid the foundation stone of
marketing.
The term marketing has changed and evolved over a period of time,
today marketing is based around providing continual benefits to the customer,
these benefits will be provided and a transactional exchange will take place.
With the change in the business environment there has also been a change in
the areas of trust. Emergence of competition has gradually changed the seller’s
market in to buyers’ market. This period of transition has witnessed changes in
the areas of focus and angle from which marketing is viewed. There are five
competing concepts on which marketing is based. They are:
Production Concept
The production concept holds that consumers favor those products
that are available and highly affordable. Where the demand of a product is more
than its supply or where the product's cost is higher, it is natural that one will
concentrate on finding ways to increase production to make the product available
and affordable to consumers. Thus, the emphasis was on the production and
manufacturing and making the process as efficient as possible, seeking to achieve
the greatest output at the most economic levels of cost.
Product Concept
The product concept holds that consumers favor those products that offer the
quality, performance and features and therefore the organizations should devote
its energy to making continuous product improvements. The product concept
leads to marketing myopia because it presumes that customers will continue to
buy the product as long as the quality of the product is good but it overlooks the
fact that customers are interested in their need satisfaction not in the product. Any
other unproved product of a competitor may satisfy the need of the customer
better.
Selling Concept
This concept was based on the idea that the customer will either not buy or not
buy enough of the organization’s products unless the organizations make effort, to
stimulate customer's interest in their products. It was assumed that the products
are sold-not bought. Under this approach, which dominated 1950s, the entire
focus of organizations was shifted to gearing up their sales department. Their
12
MARKETING OF BANKING SERVICES
attitude was that the sales department has to sell whatever the organization
produced.
Marketing Concept
The marketing concept is a more recent philosophy, which brought about a
significant change in the approach of organizations towards their products and
customers, in marketing; the attention is focused on producing such goods which
are wanted by the customers rather than selling whatever goods have been
needlessly produced. Thus the marketing concept holds that the key to achieving
organizational goals consists in determining the needs and wants of target-markets
and delivering the desired satisfaction more effectively and efficiently than
competitors.
SERVICE MARKETING
The concept of marketing discussed previously was initially developed to
market a physical product. Now it becomes essential to find out if the same
concept developed for marketing of physical products is applicable to the
marketing of services. Before we come to this point, it is natural that we have no
two meanings regarding services and their characteristics.
13
MARKETING OF BANKING SERVICES
In India services sector has grown significantly. Its growth is also quite
important for India. Diagram has shown, the employment elasticity [to GDP
growth] in the services sector is higher than as in the case of both agriculture and
manufacturing sector. Secondly, the services sector by providing complementary
services to agriculture and industry, acts as a catalyst in the growth of the entire
economy. Thirdly, with its greater flexibility in location, low capital intensity and
personal nature is ideally suited for the small sector, which is the most important
sector for overall development of Indian economy. Accordingly, the services
sector has grown faster than the commodity sector.
BANK MARKETING
INTRODUCTION
In recent years, the banking industry around the world has been
undergoing a rapid transformation. In India also, the wave of deregulation of early
1990s has created competition and greater risk for banks and other financial
intermediaries. The cross-border flows and entry of new players and products
have forced banks to adjust the product-mix and undertake rapid changes in their
processes and operations to remain competitive.
Over the years, Indian banks have expanded to cover a large
geographic & functional area to meet the developmental needs. They have been
managing a world of information about customers - their profiles, location, etc.
They have a close relationship with their customers and a good knowledge of
their needs, requirements and cash positions. Though this offers them a unique
advantage, they
Face a fundamental problem.
During the period of planned economic development, the bank products
were bought in India and not sold. Marketing is a customer-oriented operation.
What is needed is the effort on their part to improve their service image and
exploit their large customer.
14
MARKETING OF BANKING SERVICES
Therefore bank marketing implies that “it is the creation and delivery of financial
services suitable to meet the customer's needs at a profit to the bank”.

MARKETING STRATEGIES
INTRODUCTION
Marketing strategy implies development of an action plan to achieve
the marketing objectives. It involves skill and concerned effort on the part of
management to evolve tools and techniques, which are understood and accepted
throughout the organization in furtherance of the marketing cause.
According to Grantors, marketing strategy in the case of services
may consist in traditional external marketing, internal marketing and interactive
marketing.
Traditional external marketing consists of usual four ‘Ps’ of Product,
Price, Place and Promotion of marketing mix. Internal marketing is that the
service firm must effectively train and motivate its customer-contact-employees
16

MARKETING OF BANKING SERVICES
4 P’S OF MARKETING
PRODUCT
“A product is anything that can be offered to a market for attention,
acquisition, use or consumption that might satisfy a want or need. It includes
physical objects, services, persons, places, organizations and ideas.” The function
of marketing is to assess what attributes the consumer seeks from the product and
to combine these to make the most attractive product offering that, in turn, will
optimize the company’s profits. Our concern here is with the ‘services’. This is
the product which banks deal in. Thus it becomes essential to keep in mind the
peculiarities of services like its intangibility, inseparability, variability and perish
ability before we frame any product strategy. By buying a service a customer
doesn't possess anything as in case of a physical product. What he gets is
satisfaction of his wants and needs from the use of the service. Thus a bank
product is “anything that has the capacity to provide the satisfaction, use and
return desired by the customer.”
18
MARKETING OF BANKING SERVICES
Levels of Satisfaction
The basic utility that the customer derives from a product is the first
level or core level placed at the center surrounded by higher levels of satisfaction.
At each level more and more value addition takes place.
For a banking service such as a deposit account, the core element might be safety
and return on deposits. The higher level associated with it is expectation. The
customer also expects that the transaction must be completed without undue delay
and neat and accurate statement of account should be given to him and all that in a
warm and friendly atmosphere. E.g. Customers who purchase a camera are buying
more than just a camera they are purchasing memories. At the augmented Level
the banker on his own provides additional services, such as, a loan facility, locker
facility, credit card and also customer service which differentiate the product from
that of competitors. The highest level, the potential level, consists of all potential
additional features which the banker is capable of packing into the banking
product, besides, forging personal rapport with the target customer. Thus the
banker transforms into a friend, philosopher and guide at this stage.
LEVELS OF SATISFACTION
DEVELOPMENT STAGE:
19
MARKETING OF BANKING SERVICES
Product development is the incubation stage of the product life cycle. There are
no sales and the firm prepares to introduce the product. As the product progresses
through its life cycle, changes in the marketing mix usually are required in order
to adjust to the evolving challenges and opportunities.
INTRODUCTION STAGE
When the product is introduced, sales will be low until
customers become aware of the product and its benefits. Some firms may
announce their product before it is introduced, but such announcements also alert
competitors and remove the element of surprise. Advertising costs typically are
high during this stage in order to rapidly increase customer awareness of the
product and to target the early adopters. During the introductory stage the firm is
likely to incur additional costs associated with the initial distribution of the
product. These higher costs coupled with a low sales volume usually make the
introduction stage a period of negative profits.
GROWTH STAGE:
The growth stage is a period of rapid revenue growth. Sales
increase as more customers become aware of the product and its benefits and
additional market segments are targeted. The Marketing team may expand the
distribution at this point. When competitors enter the market, often during the
latter part of the growth stage, there may be price competition and/or increased
promotional costs in order to convince consumers that the firm's product is better
than that of the competition.
MATURITY STAGE:
The maturity stage is the most profitable. While sales
continue to increase into this stage, they do so at a slower pace. Because brand
awareness is strong, advertising expenditures will be reduced. Competition may
result in decreased market share and/or prices. The competing products may be
very similar at this point, increasing the difficulty of differentiating the product.
The firm places effort into encouraging competitors' customers to switch,
increasing usage per customer, and converting non-users into customers.
DECLINE STAGE:
Eventually sales begin to decline as the market becomes saturated, the
product becomes technologically obsolete, or customer tastes change. If the
product has developed brand loyalty, the profitability may be maintained longer.
Unit costs may increase with the declining production volumes and eventually no
more profit can be made.
20
MARKETING OF BANKING SERVICES
PRODUCT MIX
Product mix is the list of all products offered for sale. The concept
behind the product mix is that a marketer typically manages to market a number
of different products which are in different stages of their life-cycle. This
disparity of performance calls for different types of decisions in response to
differing market circumstances. A product mix is essential because:
1. There are an ever growing number of new products, each requiring the
development of specific marketing plans to manage them through their life-
cycles.
2. There is an imperative need to prioritize products with respect, to the resources
available with the marketer which will be allocated toward their management.
Some products may offer better opportunities in attaining marketing Objectives
than others.
3. As many of the bank products are related to each other there is a likelihood of
crippling an existing product with a new product. The product mix approach
provides the marketer with better advantage thereby reducing the extent of his
problem.
Cash cows are product and services form the core of the business always in
demand and produce high revenue in a stable market. Cash Cow is products at the
mature stage of the lifecycle, they generate high amounts of cash for the
company, but growth rate is slowing. There are chances that the product may slip
into decline; appropriate marketing mix strategies should be employed to try to
prevent this from happening.
Question Mark is a product which is presently enjoying low market share but is
considered to have high growth potential. A push at this stage will convert the
21
MARKETING OF BANKING SERVICES
problem child’ into star product. These are products with low market share but
operate in high market growth rates. The company puts a lot of resources in this
product in the hope that it will eventually increase market share and generate cash
returns in the future. ICICI bank has high market growth along with highly
capturing market share and hence he falls under the category STARS.
PRICE
The second P of the marketing mix is price. Price refers to the
amount of money a customer is willing to pay for the product. From the supplier’s
angle, it is the amount of money at which the firm is prepared to offer its goods
and services. Buying and selling, in a competitive market, is a game in which a
transaction takes place. It is necessary that both buyer and seller must have the
feeling of winning from the transaction.
The seller, looks to the cost plus profit and buyer looks to the satisfaction in
return for price to be paid. The satisfaction is a judgment, a notion, a feeling and
as such cannot be quantified in terms of money. It differs from person to person.
Accordingly, the variable that determines the satisfaction would differ from
person to person. Thus the banks while pricing their products must take care of
this factor and rely on product quality and promotion. A hike in price is always
viewed by the public with skepticism and distrust but it could be alleviated by
better communication, between bankers and their customers. One survey pointed
out that when customers were offered an explanation for changes in fees, the
proportion of customers, who viewed the changes as justified, increased by about
50 per cent.
The other side of the pricing is cost. Price should cover the costs and a return for
the organization to thrive. But the relationship between costs and benefits offered
by the banks in India, over the years, has been very hazy. This is because banks
22
MARKETING OF BANKING SERVICES
23
MARKETING OF BANKING SERVICES
to where the services are price sensitive. The consumer perception of the value of
the service quality varies. Therefore successful demand based pricing is based on
effective segmentation of market to achieve the maximum price from the
segment.
PRICING OBJECTIVES:
Common objectives include the following:
Current profit maximization - Seeks to maximize current profit, taking into
account revenue and costs. Current profit maximization may not be the best
objective if it results in lower long-term profits. Current revenue maximization -
Seeks to maximize current revenue with no regard to profit margins. The
underlying objective often is to maximize long-term profits by increasing market
share and lowering costs. Maximize quantity - Seeks to maximize the number of
units sold or the number of customers served in order to decrease long-term costs
as predicted by the experience curve.
24
MARKETING OF BANKING SERVICES
PLACE
The third ‘P’ in marketing mix is place or physical distribution. It
refers to the establishment and operation of outlets for physical distribution of the
products. In order to deliver the value satisfaction to target customers it is not
only sufficient to properly price the product, but it is also necessary to physically
move it to the place of consumption. The very objective of distribution is to get
the right product, at the right places and at the right time at the least cost. Hence,
distribution involves establishment of a strategy covering channels of distribution
and physical distribution of the product from the points of origin to the points of
consumption at a profit.
25
MARKETING OF BANKING SERVICES
The banks in India, besides having full-fledged branches, also operate various
other types of outlets like extension counters, mobile branches and specialized
branches for delivery of banking services. The need for enlarging their activities
and upgrading them for marketing of services should be explored.
It is true that the scope for opening new branches in the urban and metropolitan
areas of the country is extremely limited but by splitting up bigger branches, up
gradation and more effective use of non-branch outlets, acquiring branches
through amalgamation of smaller banks, etc., banks can overcome this limitation.
The place is more than physical place. It is where actual transaction takes place. It
can be beyond the bank premises. And this has been made more significant by
technological advancements which have extended it to the doorsteps of the
customer even into the cozy atmosphere of his living room.
PROMOTION
Promotion is a process of persuasive communication and constitutes one
of the 4 Ps of marketing mix. It relates to the task of informing the target market
about the nature and type of firms product and services, their unique benefits, uses
and features as well as price and place at which those would be available. It is
imperative on the part of a marketer to begin by attention than creating interest,
inspiring desire and precipitating the action for purchase of its product or and
above all it should result in a mutually satisfying exchange. Thus the essence of
promotion is the supply of required information which in turn will stimulate the
target customer and create a product preference among them. To put it in other
words, the term promotion embraces influence processes exerted by the sellers of
product on those who seek to be buyers.
26
MARKETING OF BANKING SERVICES
promotional mix would vary from time to time, bank to bank, and place to place
depending upon the major customer segments and the type of service offered.
1. Advertising
It is any paid form of non-personal presentation of ideas, goods and services by an
identified sponsor. Advertising is used for mass communication and includes the
use of newspaper, magazines, radio, television, hoarding, posters, banners,
leaflets/brochures, direct mail etc.
2. Publicity
Publicity refers to the communication of any non-sponsored commercially
significant information about a company or its products to the public through non-
personal media without any financial charge to the company. It may be in the
form of a news item or editorial comment. Normally, a customer is faced with a
bewildering array of advertisements and does not either pay attention to or believe
much of what he is told. But publicity, as it is a third party, which says about the
product or organization, is likely to have greater impact on the target audience.
3. Sales Promotion
Sales promotion has been defined by American Marketing Association as “those
activities, other than personal selling, advertising and publicity that stimulates
consumer purchasing and dealer effectiveness such as displays, shows,
exhibitions, demonstrations and various non-recurrent selling efforts, not in the
ordinary routine”. This is a type of activity where short-term incentives are
extended to encourage purchases. This may break through buyer's inertia towards
a particular product or service, but frequent use of this tool may lose its
effectiveness.
4. Personal Selling
Personal selling is the most vital tool in the promotional mix. It is an oral
presentation while in conversation with prospective customers. It is of particular
relevance to a service industry like banking. As it involves two way
communications in social behavior, both of buyer and seller, influence the process
to a great extent. For the same reason it is also necessary that bank staff should
adopt the characteristic retailers approach and should have the following
knowledge and ability:
27
MARKETING OF BANKING SERVICES
In July 1982 promotional expenditure of each public sector bank was Restricted to
0.01 per cent of its gross earnings and items that would be included under the
head “Publicity and Advertisement Expenses” were also listed out. But on March-
April 1984 a ban was imposed on the incurring of publicity expenses. In
Oct.1985, subject to certain conditions, there was relaxation in such expenses. In
1987 the banks were allowed to spend a maximum of 0.05 percent of their
domestic gross earnings; and 0.01 percent of overseas gross earnings and
contribute 20 percent of their publicity budget to JPC. In 1989-90 the contribution
made by the banks was increased to 30 percent of their publicity budget. The
permitted cases in which public sector banks can advertise in the press are:
28
MARKETING OF BANKING SERVICES
TYPES OF MARKETING
INTERNAL MARKETING
The logic behind such type of thinking can be attributed to following facts.
Customers buy products and services of the bank exchanging their financial
resources. Similarly employees also buy jobs of the bank exchanging the human
resource. As both are drawn from the same society the exchange process is found
to be similar in many respects. It may be argued that in Indian context, a customer
may have a better and wider option to change banks but employees do not have
such opportunity. In future, it is expected that the liberalized scenario may
provide, the best of the employees, with such opportunity. But one thing for sure
is that it remains the discretion of the employee to give his best or not. In a
financial industry like banks the product differential and price competition is
almost nil or the distinctiveness is difficult to maintain. The only area where a
distinctive- ness can be maintained is the quality of human resource. Further,
banks provide services and services by their nature are inseparable from the
provider. In this context the bank employees who provide these services assume
paramount importance. How far and to what extent the quality level of their
performance would reach is solely the discretion of the employee. As a satisfied
employee can deliver total satisfaction to a customer, it becomes important for
banks to satisfy the needs and wants of its employees on priority basis.
These activities can be further reinforced by certain
promotional activities directed at them. A highly motivated workforce is a
common trait of all successful organizations. Though it is difficult to ascertain
what precisely motivates employees, a clue can be taken from Abraham Mallow’s
29
MARKETING OF BANKING SERVICES
hierarchy of needs. Presuming that the physiological needs of the bank employees
have by and large, been taken care of, greater emphasis should be laid on
psychological and self-actualizations needs such as: security, contribution to
society, esteem and the need to reach one's full potential, etc. It is necessary to
create an organizational climate where superior and extra-ordinary contributions
made by employees at various levels are noticed and acknowledged.
Advertising is a potent tool in making an employee aware, motivated, educated,
and inspired. Though a poster at the branch with the headline such as “you never
hear our people say 'that's not my job” or “if you are not satisfied tell us, if
satisfied tell others” are directed towards external customer. Yet, it is clearly
meant for the internal customers too and will have tremendous impact on them.
Of course, before putting up a poster like that would need taking staff into
confidence. It is needless to say that any advertising campaign which can
originate from the staff themselves would have more credibility and acceptability.
Or else it may be treated derisively and be counter-productive. Senior executives,
in this regard, have a definite role to play.
INTERACTIVE MARKETING
Interactive Marketing As indicated in above it is the group of able and Willing
employees, which make the starting point of interactive marketing. They are to be
aided by proper processes (systems and procedures) as suitable vehicles to render
best customer service, which in turn will result in satisfied and loyal customers.
Internal marketing provides the required employees orienting them for the job.
30
MARKETING OF BANKING SERVICES
External marketing
The external marketing efforts are the traditional functions of
marketing of the customers and make promises to the customer as to what to be
delivered. Anything conveyed to the customer in any form before the delivery of
service can be viewed as a part of external marketing function.
According to Zeithaml and Bitner, the customer’s expectation of the
service can be derived from the following sources:
1. Past experience.
2. Corporate image.
3. Word of mouth communication.
Care should be taken to maintain credibility while setting the
promise because a very high expectation may lead to a highly dissatisfied
customer.

MARKETING OF BANKING SERVICES
10 Ps OF BANKING
1. Product:
The business has to produce a product that people want to buy. They have to
decide which ‘market segment’ they are aiming at – age, income, geographical
location etc. They then have to differentiate their product so that it is slightly
different from what is on offer at present so that people can be persuaded to ‘give
them a try’
2. Promotion:
Customers have to be made aware of the product. The two main considerations
are target market and cost. A new business will not be able to afford to advertise
on national television, for instance and would not wish to because its market will
be local to start with. Leaflets, billboards, advertisements in local newspapers,
Yellow Pages and ‘word of mouth’ would be more appropriate.
3. Price:
The price must be high enough to cover costs and make a profit but low enough to
attract customers. There are a number of possible pricing strategies. The most
commonly used are:
4. Place:
"Place" deals with the distribution channels by which your prospects will be able
to buy and receive your products and services. Clearly without defining the niche
prospects, it is impossible to set up the best distribution channels.
5. People:
An essential ingredient to any service provision is the use of appropriate staff and
people. Recruiting the right staff and training them appropriately in the delivery
of their service is essential if the organization wants to obtain a form of
33
MARKETING OF BANKING SERVICES
6. Process
Refers to the systems used to assist the organization in delivering the service.

delivered within 2 minutes. What was the process that allowed you to obtain an
efficient service delivery? Banks that send out Credit Cards automatically when
their customer’s old one has expired again require an efficient process to identify
expiry dates and renewal. An efficient service that replaces old credit cards will
foster consumer loyalty and confidence in the company.
7. Physical Evidence:
Where is the service being delivered? Physical Evidence is the element of the
service mix which allows the consumer again to make judgments on the
organization. If you walk into a restaurant your expectations are of a clean,
friendly environment. On an aircraft if you travel first class you expect enough
room to be able to lie down! Physical evidence is an essential ingredient of the
service mix; consumers will make perceptions based on their sight of the service
provision which will have an impact on the organizations perceptual plan of the
service.
8. Positioning:
POSITION (STP) process is 'positioning.' Positioning is undoubtedly one of the
simplest and most useful tools to marketers. After segmenting a market and then
targeting a consumer, you would proceed to position a product within that market.
9. Planning:
Marketing plans are vital to marketing success. They help to focus the mind of
companies and marketing teams on the process of marketing i.e. what is going to
be achieved and how we intend to do it. There are many approaches to marketing
plans.
10. Perception:
As perception differs from person to person, so do the results of the positioning
map e.g. what you perceive as quality, value for money, etc., and is different to
my perception.

CUSTOMER SERVICE
Customer service has been defined in many ways, but it will be better
understood if we define it from the customer’s angle. Thus, customer service is
the perception of a customer regarding the services he gets from his bank. As the
human perception change from individual to individual and -within an individual
from time to time, what is effective customer service today may be indifferent
tomorrow and even a bad service the day after. This makes customer service a
dynamic concept and a challenging job for the bankers.

Cabinet Secretariat, etc., as also in the observance of Customers Day. The year
1986 was celebrated by the public sector banks as “customer service year”. The
Year 1988 witnessed further improvement in customer service with the
Implementation of recommendation of the Estimates Committee. In the year 1991
Goiporia Committee was appointed to look in to the customer service.
In the year 1995 as a landmark event in the Indian banking history ‘Banking
Ombudsman’ was established by RBI with objective of resolving customer
grievances relating to provision of banking services in a quick and inexpensive
manner. Another important development was in the area of mechanization and
Computerization.
Despite all these measures devised and adopted by banks, either
expectations of a customer from his bank have gone up or banks have failed to
deliver the services in a customer satisfying manner, the criticism for poor
customer service still remains. Hence, there is an urgent need for the banks to re-
look at all the attempts made so far by them in improving customer service.

financial institution, and was its wholly-owned subsidiary. ICICI's shareholding in
ICICI Bank was reduced to 46% through a public offering of shares in India in
fiscal 1998, an equity offering in the form of ADRs listed on the NYSE in fiscal
2000, ICICI Bank's acquisition of Bank of Madura Limited in an all-stock
amalgamation in fiscal 2001, and secondary market sales by ICICI to institutional
investors in fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2002. ICICI was formed in 1955 at the initiative
of the World Bank, the Government of India and representatives of Indian
industry. The principal objective was to create a development financial institution
for providing medium-term and long-term project financing to Indian businesses.
In the 1990s, ICICI transformed its business from a development financial
institution offering only project finance to a diversified financial services group
offering a wide variety of products and services, both directly and through a
number of subsidiaries and affiliates like ICICI Bank. In 1999, ICICI become the
first Indian company and the first bank or financial institution from non-Japan
Asia to be listed on the NYSE.

PRICING MIX:
The pricing decisions or the decisions related to interest and fee or
commission charged by banks are found instrumental in motivating or influencing
the target market.
The RBI and the IBA are concerned with regulations. The rate of
interest is regulated by the RBI and other charges are controlled by IBA.
The pricing policy of a bank is considered important for raising the
number of customers’ vis-à-vis the accretion of deposits. Also the quality of
service provided has direct relationship with the fees charged. Thus while
deciding the price mix customer services rank the top position.
The banking organizations are required to frame two- fold strategies.
First, the strategy is concerned with interest and fee charged and the second
strategy is related to the interest paid. Since both the strategies throw a vice- versa

Paperwork
Brochures

POSITIONING:
PERCEPTION:
As perception differs from person to person, so do the results of the
positioning map e.g. what you perceive as quality, value for money, etc., is
different to my perception. However, there will be similarities. Products or
services are 'mapped' together on a 'positioning map'. This allows them to be
compared and contrasted in relation to each other. This is the main strength of this
tool. Marketers decide upon a competitive position which enables them to
distinguish their own products from the offerings of their competition.
PLANNING:
Marketing plans are vital to marketing success. They help to focus the mind of
companies and marketing teams on the process of marketing i.e. what is going to
