Background of the Study
Digital marketing has become a vital tool for financial institutions, enabling them to reach broader audiences and tailor their messaging to diverse customer segments. In Islamic finance, digital marketing strategies are particularly significant as they help promote products that adhere to ethical and Shariah principles (Rahman, 2023). Islamic banks are increasingly using social media, search engine optimization, content marketing, and data analytics to enhance brand visibility and customer engagement. These strategies are designed to highlight the unique value propositions of Islamic finance, such as ethical investment, risk-sharing, and social justice, thereby building trust and attracting new customers (Al-Hassan, 2024). Moreover, digital marketing facilitates real-time engagement, allowing banks to quickly respond to market trends and customer feedback, which is crucial in an ever-evolving financial landscape (Ibrahim, 2025). The shift toward digital platforms not only reduces marketing costs but also enhances the ability of Islamic banks to measure campaign performance and optimize their strategies.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the transformative potential of digital marketing, Islamic financial institutions often face challenges in effectively promoting their products. One key issue is the difficulty in conveying complex ethical and Shariah-compliant financial concepts through digital channels, which can lead to misunderstandings or misinterpretations among target audiences (Rahman, 2023). Additionally, the rapid evolution of digital technologies and social media trends requires continuous adaptation and investment, which may strain resources. Moreover, regulatory restrictions and cultural sensitivities can limit the scope and messaging of digital campaigns. These challenges, combined with competition from conventional banks and fintech firms, make it difficult for Islamic banks to achieve the desired reach and engagement. Consequently, there is a need to evaluate the effectiveness of current digital marketing strategies and identify ways to optimize them for better customer acquisition and brand positioning.
