Marketing financial services to affluent consumers

Article Abstract:

The attitudes of affluent consumers towards the services they have been receiving from financial institutions were examined. Increasing market complexity has compelled the banking industry to segment their markets along demographic divisions. The affluent market is a significant segment and it was described as households with incomes at least $50,000 and above, or net worths $200,000 and above. Affluent consumers valued personalized financial services, security of funds and offerings of diverse financial services. Banks can increase their business with the affluent through promotional activities and offering services of high quality.
