1. THE THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF MARKETING IN THE BANKING SECTOR
1.1 The nature, principles, objectives and functions of marketing
Marketing is a widely used term to describe the communication between a company and the consumer audience that aims to increase the value of the company or its merchandise or, at its simplest, raises the profile of the company and its products in the public mind. The purpose of marketing is to induce behavioral change in the receptive audience.
Also marketing - a complex system of production and sales, focused on meeting the specific needs of consumers and profit-based research and market forecasting, the study of the internal and external environment of the enterprise, development of strategy and tactics of behavior in the market through marketing programs.
The essence of marketing is about to make something that will be in demand.
The basic principles of marketing are the following:
1. To make scientific and practical market research and research of production and sales opportunities of the company.
2. To analyze of current and potential customers; research the demographic, economic, geographic and other characteristics of the people and their needs.
3. Segmentation. It means that company need to identify the most profitable market segment where it will promotion goods.
4. Flexible response of production and marketing, which involves a quick change depending on the changing requirements of the market, elasticity of demand and supply.
5. The use of innovation. Improvement and updating of products; development of new technologies; introduction of new methods of work with consumers; renewal of advertising; use the new channels of distribution, new markets and new methods of sales.
6. To use the integrated planning, starting from the release of new products, ending the perspectives of the company.
7. To impact on the market and to motivate buyer through advertising and PR.
8. To provide the pricing policy.
9. To follow the technical and social norms, this means protection of the environment, compliance with ethical rules etc.
10. To manage the marketing activities as a system.
There are four alternative variant of the basic goals of marketing:
To achieve the highest possible consumption.
Many leaders of the business world believe that the goal of marketing is to facilitate and encourage the highest possible consumption, which in turn creates the conditions for maximum growth of output, employment, and wealth.
There is a statement «The more people buy and consume, the happier they become». However, not everybody agree that the increased mass of wealth brings more happiness.
2. To achieve the maximum customer satisfaction.
According to this view, the purpose of marketing is to achieve maximum customer satisfaction, not the maximum possible consumption level.
Identifying needs is one of the main goal of market research. When a marketer learns the user need, he can predict its future behavior and the possibility of purchase of this product.
Important roles in the study of the consumers play the motivational factors of the purchase. These factors are: the motive of gain, motive of reducing the risk, recognition motive, motive of convenience, motive of freedom and finally the motive of knowledge.
Unfortunately, the degree of customer satisfaction is difficult to measure. Therefore, to assess the marketing system based on the indicators of satisfaction is difficult too.
To provide the maximum choice to the consumer.
Some market makers believe that the primary purpose of marketing is to provide the greatest possible variety of goods and provide the consumer with the widest choice. The system should give the user the opportunity to find the goods which most full answer its taste. Consumers should have the maximum opportunity to improve their way of life, and, consequently, to get the greatest satisfaction.
Unfortunately, the maximum expansion of consumer choice requires costs. First, goods and services will become more expensive as a large variety will cause growth of costs for their production. Increased prices will result in a decrease in real income of consumers and consumption behavior. Second, increasing the diversity of products will require more user time and effort in learning the various products and evaluating them. Third, the increase in the number of goods does not mean for the consumer an extension of real choice. This causes an abundance of brands and the customer has imaginary choice. Finally, consumers don't always welcome a wide variety of goods.
4. To improve quality of life.
Many people believe that the main goal of the marketing system should be to improve the quality of life. The supporters of this view estimate system of marketing not only on degree of consumer satisfaction but also on the impact marketing activities are having on the quality of the physical and cultural environment. To improve the quality of life - honorable goal for the marketing system, but it is not easy to measure.
The basic functions of marketing can be divided into 4 groups:
