CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
E-marketing in Nigerian
banking sector is an aspect of electronic universe in which messages and
information streak across the continent or around the world at the speed of
light. It is a place where you can find facts, meet customers, transact
business, receives customers complaints, and handle them, meet thousand of
their things without ever leaving your home o office.
Marketing activities is
as old as man lives. The development of marketing started many years ago. The
history behind the development made us understand that there is an era
where marketing activities were less regarded forgetting it is the
hallmark of every business growth.
Customers’ needs were
not investigated, the marketers were not train and no attention paid to them.
Firms can produce whatever they want (sales oriented) and force them to the
customer through untrained entities. Till the recent time where the customers
orientation became the order of the day, but still, the marketers even when
they were paid preferential care were found on the road
every day by day to have transaction with the customers out there. This
has hindered effectiveness; marketing has gone beyond the face of walking under
the sun day by day in search of customers and their needs to be met. Therefore,
the idea of e-marketing set in, where too many things can be done without
coming under the sun. the introduction of this course is a realm of myriad
opportunities destined to forever alter the way marketing transaction in
the banking sector is done. Also the problem facing E-Commerce and the
prospects in the banking sector will be pointed out.

operation of the three banks did not materialize until January 2, 2006, when

that scaled the capitalization hurdle and licensed operate in the country. The
strategies rationale for merger of the three banks was to bring
together banks of complementary competencies to create value
in a vastly changing financial services market place
Prior to the
pronouncement of the approved 25 commercial banks by the CBN, Governor, the
operating environment was very different in many respects. Post consolidation,
the industry has been laden with challenges of integration (process staff,
technology and products) and customer growth. Our bank has had its close of
these challenges. The integration challenges having been summoned and a one of
the fastest growing banks, our institution is poised to deliver
even better results in the year ahead. It is in this regard that we are confident
that the result of the year to come would be more impressive because our
bank has not yet fully leveraged on the synergies of the consolidation.
