PART I: THEORETICAL BASIS

I. SOME GENERAL ISSUES ABOUT BANK MARKETING.

1. Concepts.

Banking marketing is a type of specialized marketing formed on the basis of applying the content, principles and techniques of modern marketing to banking activities, which can be understood as follows:

“Banking marketing is the whole process of organizing and managing a bank, from discovering the needs of selected customers and satisfying their needs with a system of policies and measures that are more effective with competitors in order to achieve the expected profit target”.

2 Features of Bank Marketing.

2.1 Bank marketing is a type of financial services marketing.

Intangibility: is the main feature that distinguishes banking products from other physical products, banking customers often face difficulties in making decisions about using products. They can only determine product quality during and after use. From this feature, in banking business must rely on trust. Therefore, banking marketing must create the image and reputation of the bank and strengthen the trust of customers by improving service quality and increasing the utility of products.

Inseparability: the process of providing and consuming products and services occurs simultaneously and with the participation of customers. The supply of banking products usually follows a certain process, no work in progress, no inventory. This feature requires marketing banks to have close coordination between departments in providing products and determining customer needs.

Unstable and difficult to determine: banking products and services are composed of many factors: staff qualifications, technology, time, customers… these factors are often volatile, because so it is difficult to determine exactly.

2.2 Banking marketing activities need to take special measures to control the situation in order to limit risks.

A bank is a business entity in the capital market. Commercial banks all trade in the right to use capital and provide banking services to the market in order to seek optimal profits. With these characteristics, the bank’s business is likely to face many risks. The types of risks that often occur for banks are: credit risk, interest rate risk, market risk, foreign exchange risk, etc.

2.3 Banking marketing activities are diverse and complex.

Banking technology is increasingly diversified by performing many complex and highly technical tasks. Commercial banks have relationships with many customers and with many different types of needs. Therefore, banking marketing activities are also very diverse and complex. It has to deal with the vertical and horizontal relationships that take place in the business process, governed by changing conditions, the business environment.

2.4 Banking marketing is constantly doing better and having more unique new products to satisfy the increasing needs of customers.

The characteristics of banking products are that there is no inventory, the production process takes place at the same time as the consumption process, with the simultaneous participation of 3 factors:

Customers – directly involved in the production and consumption of the bank’s products. Because they are the ones who propose needs, use and evaluate products. Their evaluation is not through sensory perception but satisfaction, satisfaction in utility, safety and effectiveness of the products they use. On the other hand, it is customers who have created conditions to develop new products, improve labor productivity, save costs and increase profits for the bank.

Bankers – play an important role because they directly provide products to customers. They are the ones who decide the quality of the products and create the image of the bank. In fact, the attitude and qualifications of bank staff have become an important factor for both customers’ choice of a bank.

Equipment – plays a fundamental role in banking business. The mechanical facilities, techniques, headquarters… they have created conditions to perform banking operations better. At the same time, they also create a superficial image of the outside that attracts attention and attracts customers.

2.5 Bank marketing must pay attention to legal factors to ensure effective business operations.

Commercial banks operate in a separate market different from other economic sectors. The operation of the bank must comply with the regulations on management of special goods – currency. Commercial banks are subject to the strict management of the State in the corridor of the law in general and of the Law on Banking in particular. Therefore, bank marketers must pay attention to legal factors to ensure effective business operations within the legal framework.

II THEORETICAL BASIS OF ADVERTISING COMMUNICATIONS.

Figure 1.3: Elements in the communication process

The communication model says that in order for the sender to provide information to the receiver, there must be a process of encoding and forming a message for the ideas and information to be conveyed and expressed through the media. But whether the receiver correctly decodes that message no longer depends on the impact of the communication environment, the ability of the medium or the receiver’s cognitive level. For effective communication, there are a few principles that need to be met:

Transmitter (sender): the source must be reliable, objective, highly informative, appropriate to the recipient’s interests, circumstances and qualifications.

Encrypted message: easy to remember, headlines that attract attention or recall the product.

2.1. Identify the target audience.

The entire communication process will not be effective even if it costs a great deal if it is not correctly formatted in the first place. Therefore, this is the first and important step of a communication program. The target audience may include: potential customers, current users of the product, decision makers or influencers on purchasing choices. They can be individuals, organizations, intermediaries, etc. The target public will have an important influence on all future communicators’ decisions about decisions: what to say, how to say, to say. where and to whom.

Determining the target audience allows businesses to analyze the image of the company’s products in the minds of customers such as the level of awareness, understanding or preference of the product. From there, it is possible to define specific communication goals.

2.2. Define communication goals.

Media objectives refer to what the company seeks to accomplish in a communications program. It is often stated clearly in the message or what the communication outcome will be.
