Background of the Study
Strategic marketing in Islamic banking involves the development of tailored approaches that reflect both the competitive dynamics of financial markets and the ethical imperatives of Shariah law. In recent years, Islamic banks have increasingly focused on innovative marketing strategies to differentiate themselves in a crowded marketplace. These strategies include digital marketing initiatives, customer segmentation based on religious and cultural values, and the promotion of unique value propositions such as ethical finance and profit-sharing models (Al-Hassan, 2023). Banks are leveraging digital platforms, social media, and data analytics to reach a wider audience while ensuring that their messaging remains consistent with Islamic values. Moreover, by aligning their marketing campaigns with community development and financial inclusion objectives, Islamic banks have been able to build strong brand loyalty and trust among customers (Rahman, 2024). The integration of traditional marketing wisdom with modern digital tools enables these institutions to remain competitive globally while addressing local market nuances (Ibrahim, 2025).
Statement of the Problem
Despite significant investments in strategic marketing, Islamic banks sometimes struggle to effectively communicate their unique value propositions. Inconsistencies in messaging, a lack of cohesive branding, and the challenges of integrating digital technologies with traditional marketing practices can lead to diminished customer engagement. Moreover, diverse interpretations of Shariah guidelines in marketing communications may result in confusion among potential customers, ultimately impacting market share and customer loyalty (Al-Hassan, 2023). In addition, high competition from both conventional banks and emerging fintech firms forces Islamic banks to continuously innovate their marketing strategies. The challenge, therefore, lies in developing and sustaining a marketing approach that is both ethically sound and commercially effective, while also adapting rapidly to digital transformation and evolving consumer behaviors (Rahman, 2024).
