Marketing Mix for HDFC
Product in the marketing mix of HDFC
HDFC offers mainly banking services, but there are many financial products which it offers
along with banking. HDFC ergo, HDFC life and HDFC home loans are some of the products. In
total, the financial product portfolio of HDFC is huge. The USP of HDFC is that it designs
competitive products which guarantees great response from the market and an almost unlimited
longevity for business life. In terms of a banking, its product are its services, like netbanking
and ATM, and being a major bank, HDFC has planned its products in proportion with the ever
increasing customer’s needs, demands and expectations.
Apart from offering accounts, it has carried forward its namesake of being a housing finance
corporation, and offers large variety of loans for purchasing houses, construction, re-
construction, buying housing land, apartments etc. with maximum loan cover of up to 85%, and
maximum repayment period of up to 20 years which is a major propulsion factor for it as a
bank. Being into the services business, the major support for the product lies in its distribution.
Thus, after the product, the place and distribution of HDFC bank services is most important for
the success of HDFC.
Place in the marketing mix of HDFC
The bank has an amazing 3488 branches in 2231 cities across the world. It is headquartered in
Mumbai, India. HDFC bank has 11,426 ATM’s across India. Furthermore, the banks services
are delivered not only through ATMs or branches, but also through an excellent netbanking
service, phone banking, mobile banking and SMS banking. HDFC ensures that it has a presence
so that it can concentrate on its huge commercial clientele along with being present for its retail
clients. Banking is an intricate function as it includes certain confidential and security invoking
processes that are to be carried on a regular basis, and they are done with minimal margin of
errors, that cannot function in an unsafe environment. To make sure that all the daily
confidential processes are duly met, placing these facilities becomes a very thoughtful function
in itself, and HDFC has overcome these challenges by placing its operational premises at some
of the most easily accessible locations across cities and towns, that are made available to its
large number of account holders at strategically planned branches.
8 | P a g e
HDFC BANK
Price in the marketing mix of HDFC
HDFC is known to hold major market share in the banking sector of India, and this is
because of reasonable yet profit invoking price structure for its services, which is
justified to an extent, as every corporation has to sustain inflation and overcome market
hurdles. HDFC bank has premium competitive pricing. When compared with national
and PSU bank, the pricing is premium, because the minimum amount required to open
an account is high. But at the same time, there are many rules, like home load interest,
which are as per RBI guidelines and are competitive in nature. Thus, prices for these
products are in control by the market and not by the corporation. It provides reasonable
loans at maximum repayment tenure and at par interest rates to both old and new
customers. Apart from regular charges, it does not charge anything for miscellaneous
and associated functions such as cheque replacement, advance loan repayment, take over
etc. that justifies a lot. Thus, in some places HDFC is premium priced, whereas in
others it is evenly priced as per competition.
Promotion in the marketing mix of HDFC
From the very beginning, HDFC has planned and executed its promotional activities in a
manner that has suited its service catalogue, and has maintained a 360 degree approach
in planning its commercials, campaigns and marketing activities in general. These
promotional activities include variety of subtle television commercials with a message, a
recent and innovative method of promotion by placing signboards and milestones in the
rural portions of country in local/native language, and placing “No Parking” boards
outside residential and commercial buildings, that has promoted its connection with the
masses and making prospective client base associated with the name i.e. HDFC. HDFC
uses undifferentiated marketing techniques, it mainly focuses on introducing its financial
products to everyone. Because banking in general, is a mass market product. However,
for the HNI customers, well trained relationship managers, wealth managers are used to
retain the HNI clients with HDFC. Thus, this service too is a promotional product for
HDFC. At the end, the promotions are focused on one thing only – to spread the name
of HDFC far and wide.
HDFC BANK
PESTAL ANALYSIS
Political Factor
Government and RBI policies affect the banking sector. Sometimes looking into the
political advantage of a particular party, the Government declares some
measures to their benefits like waiver of short-term agricultural loans, to attract
the farmer’s votes. By doing so the profits of the bank get affected.
FDI move to increase the limits to 49 percent from 26 percent.
The Union Budget 2009-10 extended the debt waiver scheme by six more months for
farmers owing more than 2 hectare of land The Union Budget 2008-09 allowed
these farmers 25% rebate on loan if they repay 75%of their overdue within
stipulated period of 30th June 2009.
Economic Factor
Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) reduced by 0.25% to 4.5% of net demand and time
liabilities (NDTL) to potentially inject primary liquidity of Rs. 170 billion;
token reduction in lending rates expected, given comfortable liquidity position
and the recent revisions in deposit rates and lending rates for certain products
undertaken by some Banks.
Benchmark Repo rate maintained at 8.0%; Reverse Repo and Marginal Standing
Facility (MSF) stand unchanged at 7.0% and 9.0%, respectively. Bank Rate
also maintained at 9.0%.
9 | P a g e
HDFC BANK
Following a 1% reduction in July 2012, Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR) kept unchanged at
23% of NDTL.
The primary focus of monetary policy remains inflation control and anchoring of inflation
expectations, despite increasing risks to economic growth. The Reserve Bank of India
(RBI) highlighted that inflationary pressures and risks related to fiscal deficit and
current account deficit constrain it from providing a stronger monetary policy response
to boost economic growth. As policy measures to stimulate growth materialize,
monetary policy to reinforce the positive impact of such actions while retaining a focus
on managing inflation.
Guidance provided that liquidity management by the RBI would ensure adequate credit
flows to the productive sectors of the economy and appropriate responses to shocks
brought on by external developments.
3) Social Factor
HDFC announced its plans to make an entry into education sector. The group plans to focus
on small towns wherein it would either set up schools or take over weak performing
boarding schools. According to McKinsey Global Institute’s Bird of Gold report, the
discretionary spending on education is set to increase from 5% in 2005 to 6% in 2015.
HDFC will foray into this sector through a separate subsidiary. It is widely believed
that many schools are planning to set up model, which is profitable and scalable, as
operating under trusts makes it difficult to segregate profits. As a result, HDFC could
look to adopt those schools that are open to the ‘takeover model’. HDFC already has an
educational loan unit – Credila Financial Services – in which it owns 62.3% stake.
Credila plans to boosts the distribution network and customer base of HDFC Bank in
order to expand and also lower the cost of funds. The group’s likely entry into
education sector could be beneficial in the long run.
HDFC Bank ,is partnering with the city’s municipal authorities to educate people about the
danger posed by plastic bags to the environment, and to offer recycle paper bags
instead.The bank reinforced the Kolkata Municipal Corporation(KMC) intiated anti-
plastic awarness drive by distributing recycled and eco-friendly paper bags to retailers
and customers across nine markets in the city.“Encourage citizens to use environment
friendly and cost effective paper bags as the best substitute.

4)Technological Factor
Productivity ratio of HDFC is increasing significantly over the years. Number of employees of
the group increased to 1,607 in FY2011, as compared to 797 in FY2010 and 727 in FY2009.
While, profit per employee increased significantly to $491,900, as compared to
$117,500 and $7,500 in FY2010 and FY2009 respectively. Administration cost per asset ratio
decline to 0.30% in FY2011, as compared to 0.49 in FY2010 and 0.76 in FY2009. Similarly,
cost to income ratio improved to 7.7% in FY2011 from 13.8% and 30.9% in FY2010 and
FY2009 respectively. Improving productivity would likely enhance the group’s profit margin.

CONCLUSION
Banking is also now being regarded as a versatile financial planning tool. Research indicates
that Indians have four basic financial needs during their life asset accumulation (such as buying
a house or car), protecting their family, securing their children’s education, and provision for
their retirement. India being a country having a huge population of around one billion people
with only 32% of the banking population in India possessing banking the country has a vast
potential, which has been left untapped till now.
With this prospect HDFC is continuously working in this direction, but there are several
competitors already in the market with the similar strategy. This project concludes that with the
changing economical and political scenario bank sector faces many ups and downs but in order
to maintain the position HDFC needs to follow some differentiating strategy. Because it has a
very fine line of difference with its competitor ICICI and can outshine HDFC.
The project has given the clear cut vision as to how to differentiate its strategy from other
competitors an how to use the strength and convert the weakness of others as an opportunity.

  • 7. 6 | P a g e HDFC BANK Marketing Mix for HDFC Product in the marketing mix of HDFC HDFC offers mainly banking services, but there are many financial products which it offers along with banking. HDFC ergo, HDFC life and HDFC home loans are some of the products. In total, the financial product portfolio of HDFC is huge. The USP of HDFC is that it designs competitive products which guarantees great response from the market and an almost unlimited longevity for business life. In terms of a banking, its product are its services, like netbanking and ATM, and being a major bank, HDFC has planned its products in proportion with the ever increasing customer’s needs, demands and expectations. Apart from offering accounts, it has carried forward its namesake of being a housing finance corporation, and offers large variety of loans for purchasing houses, construction, re- construction, buying housing land, apartments etc. with maximum loan cover of up to 85%, and maximum repayment period of up to 20 years which is a major propulsion factor for it as a bank. Being into the services business, the major support for the product lies in its distribution. Thus, after the product, the place and distribution of HDFC bank services is most important for the success of HDFC. Place in the marketing mix of HDFC The bank has an amazing 3488 branches in 2231 cities across the world. It is headquartered in Mumbai, India. HDFC bank has 11,426 ATM’s across India.

Banking is an intricate function as it includes certain confidential and security invoking processes that are to be carried on a regular basis, and they are done with minimal margin of errors, that cannot function in an unsafe environment. To make sure that all the daily confidential processes are duly met, placing these facilities becomes a very thoughtful function in itself, and HDFC has overcome these challenges by placing its operational premises at some of the most easily accessible locations across cities and towns, that are made available to its large number of account holders at strategically planned branches.
  • 8. 8 | P a g e HDFC BANK Price in the marketing mix of HDFC HDFC is known to hold major market share in the banking sector of India, and this is because of reasonable yet profit invoking price structure for its services, which is justified to an extent, as every corporation has to sustain inflation and overcome market hurdles. HDFC bank has premium competitive pricing. When compared with national and PSU bank, the pricing is premium, because the minimum amount required to open an account is high. But at the same time, there are many rules, like home load interest, which are as per RBI guidelines and are competitive in nature. Thus, prices for these products are in control by the market and not by the corporation. It provides reasonable loans at maximum repayment tenure and at par interest rates to both old and new customers. Apart from regular charges, it does not charge anything for miscellaneous and associated functions such as cheque replacement, advance loan repayment, take over etc. that justifies a lot. Thus, in some places HDFC is premium priced, whereas in others it is evenly priced as per competition. Promotion in the marketing mix of HDFC From the very beginning, HDFC has planned and executed its promotional activities in a manner that has suited its service catalogue, and has maintained a 360 degree approach in planning its commercials, campaigns and marketing activities in general. These promotional activities include variety of subtle television commercials with a message, a recent and innovative method of promotion by placing signboards and milestones in the rural portions of country in local/native language, and placing “No Parking” boards outside residential and commercial buildings, that has promoted its connection with the masses and making prospective client base associated with the name i.e. HDFC. HDFC uses undifferentiated marketing techniques, it mainly focuses on introducing its financial products to everyone. Because banking in general, is a mass market product. However, for the HNI customers, well trained relationship managers, wealth managers are used to retain the HNI clients with HDFC. Thus, this service too is a promotional product for HDFC. At the end, the promotions are focused on one thing only – to spread the name of HDFC far and wide.
  • 9. HDFC BANK PESTAL ANALYSIS Political Factor Government and RBI policies affect the banking sector.

HDFC will foray into this sector through a separate subsidiary. It is widely believed that many schools are planning to set up model, which is profitable and scalable, as operating under trusts makes it difficult to segregate profits. As a result, HDFC could look to adopt those schools that are open to the ‘takeover model’. HDFC already has an educational loan unit – Credila Financial Services – in which it owns 62.3% stake. Credila plans to boosts the distribution network and customer base of HDFC Bank in order to expand and also lower the cost of funds.
