Abstract
Introduction
The financial crisis in the UK has negatively affected many financial
institution' s reputations. However, despite the weakened state of the personal
lending market, there still exists significant possibilities for banks to
improve their brand message. Targeting consumers through Datamonitor' s
Megatrends framework will help banks improve their brand values through the
most cost effective means.
Scope of this research

competitive environment.

during this uncertain era.
- Discusses ways to improve bank brands within the personal loan market.
Research and analysis highlights
The top 10 personal loan advertisers have cut their total expenditure by 69%
in 2008.
Banks need to focus more on the non-price specific aspects of products and
services. During these testing times the onus is less on overall advertising
expenditure and more on what a bank can do to improve the position of a
borrower.
Customers in financial distress should rely heavily on help and assistance
from their banks. This presents an opportunity for banks to rebuild their
reputations by catering more for customers worried about their finances.
