Many economic sectors have been and will be forced to open the rest of the world to create a very complex picture of business in which competition is indispensable for any business. And so, the banking industry is not out of the picture. Banks know that maintaining existing customers is not enough. Expanding market share will be a difficult challenge but bring many competitive advantages in service scale. Commercial banks are trying their best to survive and develop in the context of increasingly fierce competition and are urgently establishing and expanding operations to create a certain position for themselves in the market. According to the latest figures from the United Nations, Vietnam has more than 97 million people (survey data 2019) and income levels are increasing but the proportion of people using banking services is still limited. The growth of per capita income and the type of business has created a potential market of commercial banks, especially the banking service market. Development of banking services is a trend and an indispensable requirement for commercial banks today to enhance the presence, increase market share and diversify types of banking products and services, contributing to increasing the competitiveness of the bank. Therefore, it can be said that types of banking services will thrive in the future. Meanwhile, banks will have the opportunity to expand the market, increase the development potential and increase the ability to disperse risks in business.

transactions are limited, not widely implemented, not oriented to customer needs; Risks are still potential for both customers and banks Agribank Cau Giay Branch has more than four trillion VND mobilized capital, outstanding debt is over three trillion VND, finance profit is over seventy billion Dongs In addition, Agribank Cau Giay branch has the most modern IT infrastructure from the World Bank project Therefore, it is said that the banking marketing application at Agribank Cau Giay branch always needs to be reformed quickly to meet the needs of customers so Agribank Cau Giay branch will not lose customers and vice versa, The bank can also enhance its highly competitive services in order to attract more customers Based on that practice, along with the knowledge gained during the course and practical work at Agribank - Cau Giay Branch, I chose the topic "Improvement the Marketing-Mix policy for Internet Banking (IBank) at Agribank Cau Giay Branch” The content of the topic revolves around analyzing, evaluating and proposing a number of marketing mix promotion solutions for Internet Banking services from which through supporting tools to develop customers using the service of Bank Research objectives and questions Research objectives of this thesis are to answer the following question: “How – improve the banking marketing services – Agribank Cau Giay Branch – overcomes – gain more benefits from customers?” (In the interest of helping bankers think more like entrepreneurs) In order to achieve this objective, a list of necessary questions were studied and this thesis hopefully provides all needed information about the current situation of banking services in Agribank Cau Giay branch's bank marketing management evaluations and solutions - If capital were free, what would we differently? (Excessive capital) If capital cost twice as much, what would we differently? (Lack of capital) - Are we a bank that has technology or a technology company that owns a bank charter? - How likely is it that a customer would recommend our bank to a friend or colleague? - What one word we want to own in the minds of our customers, employees, and partners? (For example, Apple = different; Toyota = quality; Google = search.) - Do our customers need more than one thumb to use one click payment method? - What is marketing concept? - What is bank marketing concept? - What is a bank marketing mix in theory? - What to analyse in bank marketing management? - Bank marketing plan in practical situation? Object and scope of the study Research subjects: Modern marketing principles to be applied appropriately at Agribank - Cau Giay Branch Research scope: + Space: the above issues were studied at

customer behavior, thereby analyzing data on the environment, customers, direct competitors Topic layout In addition to the introduction and conclusion, the thesis content consists of three chapters: Chapter 1: The basics theory of Internet Banking service and Marketing mix Chapter 2: Current situation of Marketing mix policy for Internet Banking at Agribank - Cau Giay Branch Chapter 3: Completing the Marketing mix policy for Internet Banking at Agribank - Cau Giay Branch should have some articles on the bank's official information pages such as the bank's own website, the Vietnam Economic Times, the Banking magazine, the Vietnam Card Association about the situation Bank's business performance over the years with remarkable results, because the more transparent and accurate information that target customers receive, the more their trust in the bank increases that much Articles outlining the operation direction and objectives of the bank over the years so that customers can understand the benefits that the bank brings, articles also need to be updated and introduced to the bank's new and unique services … Banks need to strengthen the relationship between banks and customers It is necessary to ensure this relationship is increasingly strengthened and must be closely linked Creating a good relationship with potential customers in the future as well as with existing customers is an important factor in public relations The two sides will understand each other better and can exploit more information to meet customers' requirements in a timely manner, creating the most favorable conditions for the bank and customers This not only assists the bank in asserting its position, but also increases the prestige and trust of customers, and creates a solid foundation for potential customers in the future Vietnam Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development needs to maintain good existing relationships with customers who are currently using its products, such as: giving souvenirs to VIP customers of the bank (both for enterprises and private customers), customers who have used products provided by Agribank for a long time, customers with large monthly sales on special occasions of the year, such as giving Tet calendar, giving souvenirs on holidays, giving gifts on customers' birthdays or having small gifts with customers regularly trading (pens, notebooks, stationery, etc print the bank logo on it) 88 In addition, for these types of customers, the bank may have preferential policies for certain services For potential customers, in addition to increasing media advertising or PR activities, banks can take advantage of word of mouth (word of mouth) This is a form that the bank can take advantage of from its loyal customers, or with new customers The first impression is very important, so when you contact them, try to bring them professional working style, convenience and comfort in trading, courteous service attitude of transactions When customers are satisfied, they will not hesitate to share or introduce their friends to use the services of the bank to get satisfaction and convenience like them It is not natural that the ancients had the saying "good rumors are far and away, and evil sounds are also spread far away" Therefore, "natural aroma" is not enough And this is how to attract potential customers in the future based on good relationships with current customers Internal communication also plays a significant part in the process of building up the image of the bank itself Communication also needs to be done well so that all employees in the bank understand the goals as well as the tasks of each individual in the whole system The deep understanding of the products and services that the bank is providing helps employees to understand their responsibilities at work and will bring high efficiency in product consulting and introduction for customers 3.2.5 Direct marketing solutions A bank can base on its current customers base and list of potential customers to direct marketing This method will help the bank to send the message directly to its target customers, and it will help the bank be able to track or measure customer responses The bank can rely on the database of customers currently using the products provided by Agribank These customers may not currently use the 89 internet banking service Agribank Once a list of these objects is available, the bank can directly initiate a phone call to offer internet banking service with some special offers for those who subscribe via phone call this Next, a bank can print a catalog that introduces the bank and its current services and services, and then sends it to its existing customers or potential customers To create a list of potential customers for internet banking, a bank can find out the needs of existing customers, or ask them to provide information about people they know who are interested in will use internet banking service In addition, the bank can also search for customer address information through the postal information service Once you have all the information on your target customers, a bank can send mail to their homes In addition, the bank also needs to open surveys on the level of customer satisfaction about the bank by sending mail directly to them Another thing that Agribank can is organize annual seminars, customer conferences, especially groups of customers who are large enterprises and customers traditional goods This activity not only helps the bank strengthen and enhances its current image in the eyes of customers by sending gratitude to customers, but also creates more opportunities to contact and listen to suggestions the bank's customers are for the bank Thereby, the bank can know the advantages that have been achieved, the shortcomings of the bank's products and services to make new effective policies, more feasible The results of these face-to-face sessions will help customers and banks get to know each other better, promoting long-term relationships in the future 90 CONCLUSION As Vietnam's economy has truly become a market economy and international integration, the development of banking services is an indispensable objective, especially new types of services Therefore, the requirement for the banking system is to be constantly and completely renovated
