Background of the Study
Promotional mix strategies involve a combination of tools and techniques used by organizations to communicate with their target audience, build brand awareness, and drive sales. These tools include advertising, sales promotion, personal selling, public relations, and direct marketing (Belch & Belch, 2023). In the banking industry, an effective promotional mix is crucial for attracting customers and maintaining competitiveness.
UBA Plc, one of Nigeria’s leading banks, operates in Taraba State with a focus on delivering innovative banking services.
