Mechnikov National University BANK MARKETING AT THE PRESENT UKRAINIAN BANKING SERVICES MARKET Relevance of the problem. Introduction of Bank marketing is an essential part of the life cycle of bank services, because, along with already stable large banks and fast elimination of small ones, effective strategic and operational planning is the Foundation of a stable existence and development of banking. Analysis of recent research and publications. Various aspects of Bank marketing are considered in the researches of such foreign experts as I. Ansoff, E. P. Golubkov, J. Evans, A. Enders, E. V. Egorov, F. Zhu- kov, R. Maborn, G. L. McNaughton, D. Makarov, V. T. Sevruk, A. Floh, Frost Steven J. In Ukraine, the question of development of market- ing activities in commercial banks is studied by the fol- lowing scholars: I. Alekseev, V. Alyoshin, L. Bala- banova, Bushueva, V. Gerasimchuk, B. Zavadskaya, I.I. Kacheva, A. Kirichenko, V. Lysytskyi, O.I. Lutiy, A. Moroz, A. Nikitin, A. Poltorak, L.F. Romanenko, O. Tkachuk, A. Stein and others. The Aim of this article is to consider the relevance of the use of Bank marketing in today's market of bank- ing services and its functioning features; detection of marketing strategy development methods, which will al- low the Bank to achieve wanted goals at the Ukrainian market. Main material exposition. For the development of any market it is typical to experience increasing compe- tition, and Ukrainian market of bank services is no ex- ception. Unlike most of the Central and Eastern Euro- pean markets, where local banks are competing with Western ones, Ukrainian banks must reconquer their market place in dealing with European ones, which also want to get profits in Ukraine. In such conditions, it is very important for local banks to choose the right mar- keting strategy: strengthening positions in dealing with competitors, strengthening the prospect of becoming a leader or preparing an entry into the market. To obtain the expected profit, banks are forced to spend big, and sometimes even huge amounts of money for marketing researches and activity strategy development, however, spending does not always lead to choosing of truly ef- fective strategies. Thereby, marketing – is the concept that is based on system approach and which is oriented on the con- sumer and is about management of production and mar- keting of goods and services, providing responding to market needs, acceleration of goods distribution, in- creasing of profitability of production and trading [1]. It is known that the factors that led to the emer- gence and development of Bank marketing are the fol- lowing ones [1, p. 11; 3, p. 26]: – liberalization and universalization of banking ac- tivities; – internationalization of the banking industry, the result of which is globalization; – development of the interbank market; – the emergence of Bank-type-financial and credit institutions, which had opportunities for the further de- velopment in specific sectors of the economy; – development of competition between banks and non-bank credit institutions; – changes in the banking technology, especially in private customers servicing; – increasing of significance of bank service quality. Modern commercial bank can be considered as a company that manufactures special services on the fi- nancial and monetary and credit markets [5], that deeply penetrates in all spheres of the economy, actively serves and affects all economic and social processes in the country. A. Nikitin and L. F. Romanenko emphasize that the specifics of banking and banking product (an abstrac- tion, a monetary form of expression, contractual nature of the relationship with buyers, the length of time of banking product or service use) put a mark on marketing in banking that «…appears as a special branch of mar- keting services which creates, forms and develops its product» [7, 10]. From a marketing perspective, services offered by the Bank can be divided into two groups [10]: − those that bring the Bank profits (issuing loans, trust operations, consultation and mediation services, etc.); − related to the involvement of temporarily free funds of people, enterprises and organizations (deposit services, accounts management, etc.). Homogeneous bank services, that provided for cus- tomers and that united by certain signs and which formed based on banking technologies and operations, constitute the banking product [5]. It is often that use of one banking service makes it necessary to consume ad- ditional service offerings. When acquiring the product form, the banking product, does not isolate itself in the market environment, and thus, banks are interested in opportunities to provide a full range of services to meet the demand of customers, and sometimes outperform N. Shlafman, V. Hudkov 100 Економічний вісник Донбасу № 4(46), 2016 and even create this demand, which requires additional activity on the market. Quality of banking products (services) – is a set of properties of the conditions for their purchase and sale (interest rate, granting orders, refunding, repayment, withdraw), that distinguish them for the customers while there is the same destination of such products and amount of money [12]. Factors that determine quality of banking product [2]: − consumer loyalty; − market share; − higher dividends to investors; − loyal employees; − lower costs; − less vulnerability to price competition; − acceptance of service terms. Attracting customers, expansion of the sales of its services, conquering of the market and profits increase – all these are important tasks of any bank. Because of this, marketing activities of the Bank are very important while the content and objectives of them are substan- tially changing these days. The reason for this is in- creased competition in the financial markets and the ever-changing relationships between banks and their customers [2]. An important aim of commercial bank marketing, per I.O. Lutiy and A. Solodka [4], is formation and sup- port of the desired image among target clients, business partners, authorities and the Government, and of the public. Attracting customers should be the aim of Bank and all its services policy which is possible by winning clients’ trust, through participation in professional or- ganizations and institutions, social responsibility, infor- mation transparency and profits increase. At the same time the low level of bank’s reputation capital or its negative business reputation give rise to reputational risk, that is very dangerous for banks’ ac- tivities, since it can lead to other types of risks occur- rence, it is the liquidity risk, which is one of the most dangerous for banks [10]. In the conditions of competition, the best results will belong to those, who would precisely consider all the factors of interaction between Bank and client, and in the first place – a variety of customer’s needs, which requires constant information update of changes in his preferences and needs, which creates the «synthetic ap- proach». The essence of this approach is that the sphere of bank’s operating activities must fulfill not only the user functions, but also it must be a source of infor- mation: any contacts and agreements with the customer must be logged to a database, which already contains a particular history of the client that the compounded in the process of marketing research. Moreover, the new data should flow to the information system not automat- ically (immediately), but by the defined sets (lots), after processing and the proper control. In addition to the or- ganizational changes, banks must also implement a scorecard, that reflects the degree of customer satisfac- tion [11]. When implementing the purpose of forming and maintaining the desired image, the Marketing compo- nent will be the creation and maintaining of effective communication that allows to constantly be in the inter- action with users of banking services. The use of the BTL-technologies is a modern direction in the Bank ad- vertising. Advertising, besides its traditional meaning, – it is the ATL- technology (above the line) – traditional ways of selling (direct advertising), includes so-called BTL- technology (below the line), which belongs to the non-traditional methods of sales (indirect advertising). BTL- technology includes direct marketing measures, sales promotion, event marketing and others [9]. The Reasons of growing popularity of BTL-tech- nologies are: − the drop of efficiency of the traditional ways of promotion services; − changes of the sales structure (self-service de- velopment). In the areas of sales, it is taken from 60 to 80% of the all consumers’ decisions about purchases. When using a VTL technology, the sales grow from 2-4 to 10 times; − compared with traditional advertising, BTL- communications are taken much more positively [7]. BTL – is a relatively new, additional, unique in- strument of advertising strategy of the Bank realization, with the aim of raising consumer’s awareness about the banking products and involving the customers into a communication. It is necessary to strive to that the tra- ditional advertising (direct advertising) or BTL and PR- promotion would mutually complement one another [12]. From the study of existing State of the economy, there always will be major changes in the credit sector in Ukraine, there will be changes in its priorities, aims and tasks. Many of the commercial banks will not be able to fully guarantee clients’ demand satisfaction, mainly, because of the limited joint-stock and limited equity capital. In the current economic and political situation of Ukraine it will be noticeable decline of public funding, and therefore, the funding will be implemented through commercial structures that will lead to wide coverage of commercial banks of significant enterprises number which possess strong financial base. Now, the creation of new banks is becoming more protracted and difficult process. Consequently, there is occurring an extension of accessing services of existing major banks. System- atic implementation of comprehensive market re- searches make major banks to have their activities done on a quite broad range of market segments [4]. An example of wide use of marketing in a banking sphere at contemporary stage and of working out of proper strategy are banks such as «Ukrsibbank» and N. Shlafman, V. Hudkov 101 Економічний вісник Донбасу № 4(46), 2016 «Raiffeisen Bank Aval». Their strategy is based on that banks focus their attention on accepting of small depos- its and small depositors, which is usually denied by many of Ukrainian commercial banks [3]. Medium and small banks, unlike large ones, do not have a broad clientele, that is a source of increasing of credit resources, because they (banks) are specialized on a particular market segment. Nowadays, on Ukrainian banking services market the process of absorption of small banks by bigger and more powerful ones is becoming real Nowadays, on Ukrainian banking services market the process of de- vouring of small banks by bigger and more powerful ones is becoming real. As example, there was the very first acquisition of insolvent bank from The Guarantee Fund of Supporting Deposits of Individuals that took place in July 2015: The Agro Holdings (Ukraine) Lim- ited, subsidiary company of Investment Fund running by NCH Capital (USA), had acquired 100% of shares of insolvent JSC «Astra Bank». And of the older exam- ples - absorption of Dongorbank by PUMB bank, which happened on 16 July 2011 [8]. In conditions of trust decline to small banks, many of them begin to lose clients, and it is getting hard for them to attract new clients that strive to cooperate with, first, credit agencies that have nice image, large reserves and wide net of affiliates [2]. In modern banking business, in conditions of bank- ing competition strengthening, to attract new clients and to financially support the development of banks’ own activities, it can be recommended to apply the following marketing concepts [2, p. 65]: 1. Service concept. Per it, when choosing a bank, the customers are oriented on the services, which have low price. In this regard, banks, that adhere to this con- cept, offering mostly traditional services, which have high performance (profitability). Thus, this concept cre- ates the conditions for the formation of financial secu- rity of further bank development. This concept is chosen by banks during the following conditions: the main part of the real and potential clients of the Bank have low income; the demand for banking services is equal to the offer or exceeds it; the Bank’s customer base is growing and on this basis - its conditionally fixed costs are shrinking, that allows to provide funds to increase the share of separate bank services on the market. 2. Parametrical concept. The basic principle of this concept is attracting clients to Bank’s services that are superior by their characteristics and quality to similar ones which offered by their competitors, and therefore, those services give consumers bigger benefits. In this case banks make great efforts to improve the quality of their services. Most frequently the parametric concept is followed by the banks and financial-credit institutions which provide services that are unconventional, individ- ual, and sometimes even unique and high-priced ones (leasing, audit services), that allows the Bank to increase its profitability. It’s important to note some factors on which the parametric marketing concept is based: qual- itative characteristics of provided banking services level; political and economic conditions analysis that in- fluence on services quality; reducing risks when provid- ing banking services and Bank’s profit increase. 3. Commercial concept or the commercial effort in- tensification concept. It is based on the active infor- mation and advertising services which are based on mar- keting research, to ensure required level of customer en- gagement and grow of the volume of implementation services. Active establishment of insurance companies, pension funds, leasing companies, to reach the clients by complex service, including non-traditional services, «know-how», providing consulting in various fields of business, etc. by banks – these is a typical ploy of using this concept. For successful realization of this concept, banks create multifunctional service of marketing. Its purpose is mainly medium-term − is to gain the attention of banking services’ consumers, especially by conduct- ing more aggressive, than competitors have, advertising campaign and active personal sales. 4. Address marketing concept. Per it growth of banking services consumption can be provided mainly after analyzing the needs and motivation of demand of particular social groups of the population on these ser- vices and by development of address propositions re- garding to promotion of banking services on this basis. In other words, marketing should begin with analysis of demand and supply of different banking services and continue through analysis of financial security of their implementation and results of marketing researches. And only after that proposals and programs of Bank ser- vices promotion should be formed. 5. Socio-political concept since target philosophy, ideology, strategy and policy of the Bank are oriented on the priority of universal, but not the narrow-business, interests. More detailed further development of market- ing strategy happening in planning marketing process, the so-called marketing-mix, which is developed in the following main directions: productive strategy; pricing strategy; the strategy of distributing banking prod- ucts(services); complex of consumer’s stimulation. The marketing program of Bank must consider not only the prospects of getting future profits, but also the possibil- ity of various risks occurrence in the process of market- ing program implementation. In this case, each bank shall determine methods of risks limitation, as well as specific responsibilities for bank managers and its struc- tural subdivisions in this process (organization of risk- marketing). Bank’s risks limitation, in the end, relates to structure and consistency of banking operations and with sufficient level of their diversification. Develop- ment of a risk management strategy is based on results of the situation analysis (analytical marketing), in pro- cess of which potential threats are being determined, those that threaten banking activities stability [4, c. 457]. N. Shlafman, V. Hudkov 102 Економічний вісник Донбасу № 4(46), 2016 Analytical marketing is an inbound link of market- ing strategies in a bank. To this link belongs the holding of external and internal analysis of Bank activities, which combine management and marketing – activates financial management to the creation of a single process of making of profits. This process is carried out by the Marketing Department, with the further development of marketing strategy, which is the original element of the marketing mechanism (marketing management), that makes significant efforts to implement the Banking product (services) in order to meet the needs of consum- ers and receiving of profits, further development of the Bank, enhancing of its financial strength, making pro- spect of getting competitive positions at the market, im- proving the quality of Bank management, i.e. – combin- ing different tools of banking practice into a holistic mechanism of Bank marketing [12]. Conclusions and suggestions. Because of con- ducted research, it is proposed to use in practice the fol- lowing tools which would allow to increase implemen- tation effectiveness of bank-marketing strategies. Those are: − regular use of benchmarking, both within the internal market and with orientation onto the best world players; − research of the markets of Central and Eastern Europe to consideration of potential possibilities and risks on the Ukrainian market; − expansion of the traditional set of models to de- velop strategies and to consider that the majority of such models are more likely designed for industrial compa- nies and for service companies of non-financial sector; − creation of as clear as possible marketing ser- vice organization with effective communication sys- tems. Orientation to the «studying organizations». To occupy a strong position on the market of bank- ing services, while designing a model of bank’s compet- itive development it is recommended to integrate the strategy of maximal satisfaction of customers’ demands. Despite all the competitive advantages, which may have banking institutions, they are not immune from changes of the external environment, political instability and of economic policy of the State. In this regard, banks are recommended to use SWOT-analysis to evaluate the extent of influence of bank’s strengths and weaknesses on their market prospects. The necessity of improvement of banks’ ways of interacting with customers, to maximize the volume of banking services sales and increasing of their share of market, as well as improving of operating efficiency, - that is considered in prospect of further studies. Espe- cially it is related to interaction of banks with individu- als, because «…The increase in the number of Internet users, the propagation of smartphones and other modern means of communication, - these have utterly reduced the distance between retail banks and individuals, re- peatedly increased the amount and the intensity of the mutual informational exchange, the newest technologies have been created which became the most perspective channel of retail banking services» [12, p. 91]. System- atic work of banks in this direction will provide to pro- spect of building more resultative relationships with the clients. Thus, particularity of bank services sale requires designing of special techniques and methods of Bank marketing. Introduction of marketing techniques in all the departments of a Bank’s work will allow to see new ways of providing services and receiving profits. So, that, banks which have ‘modest’ capacity are objec- tively forced to maximize marketing opportunities in or- der to maximally increase their competitiveness on the market and to use all of their chances in any situation.
