Abstract

The practice of marketing communications in smaller firms in Ghana has received mixed feelings among staff and clients alike. This chapter investigates the perceptions and opinions of staff and customers on marketing communication strategies and practices employed by the selected Rural and Community Banks (RCBs) in Ghana. A multi-stage sampling technique was used in selecting the final 561 samples for the study from 10 regions of Ghana. Findings from the study revealed that there is a positive perception of marketing communication practice among the selected Rural Banks in Ghana although the agreement level was not very strong. The study recommends that the management of the RCBs facilitates training programs for capacity building of staff and periodically conducts client surveys to solicit their opinions on their marketing communication programs. The perception of clients on the various marketing communication mix adopted by RCBs in communicating to its clients becomes very imperative as it influences whether or not a particular client would continue to conduct business or not.
