There is still much to be learned about how product lines developed by banks and other financial institution can simultaneously serve both the customers’ and the bank’s needs in an efficient manner. As new channels develop and customers’ behavior changes, it would be to the benefit of both academics and practitioners to understand what, if any, are the limitations in adopting modern marketing management techniques and systems that marketers of tangible goods have now long established.

For instance, is it possible to develop the equivalent of the efficient consumer response paradigm for financial institutions under the limitation of the intangible nature of the product and the inseparability of service offering and consumption?
