Changing Demographics for Banks

I am always asking "who is the customer" for the solutions we provide, for example a porfolio manager has different needs and receives different benefits from our solutions than the chief risk officer. Marketing programs need to speak clearly to the audience using their business terminology else you risk losing a potential opportunity.

Now more than ever, banks also have the challenge of further segmenting and targeting their customers - offering the right solution at the right time to the right person - else risk losing them. The needs of Gen Y, who prefer web and mobile channels are different than the needs of a baby boomer, some who prefer going to the branch for their bank business.

The next few years should be very interesting as banks further segment their customers providing solutions customized to their needs.
