These days PSU banks have become more creative in their advertising. The Bank of Baroda
ad, in which they talk about technology with a human face, is also quite interesting. A marriage
is being arranged, the families meet, the boy decides to talk to the girl, but she responds like
one of those typical customer support phone menu voice recordings (Dial 1 for...) is nice
example of creative advertising. But one advertisement is not enough to capture entire market.
Bank needs many such attempts.

4. Approach new markets: One way to stay ahead of the competition is to pursue markets they
aren’t pursuing. Every bank or financial institution has particular groups of customers they
serve extremely well. Know what groups these are for yourself and your competitors, once
you’ve perfected your approach in one area, seek a new cohort to help. These groups don’t
need to be huge to make a big impact on your business; you just have to offer the best solution.
5. Rebrand to be hipper, younger and modern: If your website or app looks like it is fresh out
of the 90’s, it’s time to rebrand. Choose a new message that puts the needs of your customer at
the forefront of your campaign and redesign. By showing your focus on a modern approach,
you’ll give customers another reason to learn more about your company.
6. Compete with competitors online: If your competitors have a strong local presence, compete
with them online. Use digital marketing practices like SEO, PPC, social media and email
marketing to be the prominent option.
7. Offer features no one else has: Technology is always changing. Today you can buy new
equipment that makes it easier for your customers to handle their financial transactions, you
can build online tools that meet their needs and make their lives easier. Adopt the opportunities
that technology presents and create a marketing campaign out of it.
8. Fill in their marketing holes: No one is perfect in every aspect of their marketing. Identify
where your competitors’ holes are and fill them with your company. Over time you will grow
and notice more opportunities to improve.
These are some ways to get bank to stand out. Today, many of the most successful campaigns
are based on being different, creative and giving customers what they want. It can be
intimidating to approach a new avenue of marketing for your company, but if you take the time
to research what your customers need, and how you can best reach them, you should be able to
achieve impressive results
Conclusion
The study brings out the perception of the retail borrowers about the marketing strategies used
by two types of banks in India i.e. the private sector banks and public sector banks. It is very
well established during the study that the private sector banks are better in the parameters of
retail lending such as; (a) Marketing of loan products, (b) Borrower guidance, politeness,
support and accessibility, and related services with the loan product. Further, the study
elucidates that though there is a positive perception about the retail lending of both the types
of banks, these public sector banks need to innovate their marketing strategies and make
conscious effort to meet the customer needs and requirements in the wake of competition and
growing expectations of customers
