Innovations are made with the assistance of learnings from customer information and data analysis, which are an essential part of analytical CRM.

Of all the companies in my area there are many that don’t seem to implement the marketing concept to its fullest potential. Among these companies are Chase Bank, Big Lots, Pulse Yoga and Fitness Studio, and Tecknowlogic. On the other hand are the companies that use the marketing concept to the fullest extent. These companies include Huntington Bank, Meijer’s, The YMCA, and eGreen Computers, Inc. When looking at Huntington Bank everything they market and everything they set out to do is to satisfy their customers’ needs.

Because online-only banks require lower overhead costs, they have the capability to offer more free services and higher interest rates compared to a traditional bank.

For example, making large deposits to the bank is limited and can only be made through the mail, they don’t service cashier checks for transactions, and withdrawing money from the account is very inconvenient. Luckily, the role of the internet in financial transactions is becoming increasingly prominent so that spending money online is more accessible, but it is important to understand both the benefits as well as restraints of online banking. Nowadays, many large brick-and-mortar banks have caught on and provide some online services in attempts to

Marketing is a management function which involves creating, communicating and delivering value for an organisation’s customers (Kotler, Brown, Burton, Deans & Armstrong (2010).
