The role of marketing in the financial services industry
Marketing plays a crucial role in the financial services industry, enabling companies to acquire, retain and grow customer relationships. One of the key ways in which marketing can drive growth is by helping companies better understood customer needs and preferences [3]. By conducting market research and analysis, financial services companies can gain insights into customer behavior and attitudes, enabling them to create products and services that better meet customer needs.

Another important aspect of marketing in the financial services industry is customer acquisition. By using targeted advertising and promotions, companies can attract new customers and expand their customer base. Additionally, marketing can be used to retain existing customers, by creating personalized experiences and offering tailored products and services [5].

As the industry continues to evolve, marketing will become an increasingly important tool for companies to differentiate themselves and drive growth.
