  1. Marketing

A bank uses various strategies to market its services.

  1. Target groups

A bank divides its clients into various groups according to age and interests. There are special packages available to young people and also to pre-scholars.

Listen to the following questions and statements made by a commercial bank:

Be your own banker at the age of 12!

Do you want to manage your own finances as a teenager?

Would you like to see the money grow in your savings account?

Ask you parents to deposit your allowance in a Mega Save Account.

Use your Mega Card for cash withdrawals.

Simply draw your card through the terminal and pay!

It sounds so easy – especially to a teenager!

Sportsmen and -women are also targets. There are cards available especially to cyclists, and one for Comrades supporters. There is a Currie Cup interest rate for vehicle financing, and many others.

The aged are also targeted. There are special savings plans for funerals as well as special interest rates for retired people.

Collect as many of these marketing pamphlets as you can. They are available at commercial banks and through the post, and also in magazines.

Compare them to determine if there is one bank that impresses you more than the other.

  1. Competitions

“Use your credit card this month for purchases of R2 000,00 or more, and stand a chance to win one of the following fantastic prizes:

2 Mercedes C class

1 double first class air ticket to any destination worldwide.

7 days in Mauritius for two.

Sounds fantastic, doesn’t it! Let’s go and spend money!

Group work

Discuss in your groups why a bank encourages the use of credit cards by means of such competitions.

  1. Competition time!

Divide into groups of your own choice

Establish a bank of your own.

Decide on a name and logo for you bank.

Market your bank by using brochures, advertisements and posters. (You must “sell” your bank to the public.)

Appoint a panel of judges to choose the “best bank” in class on the strength of its marketing strategy.
