The political status and the wars in the countries around , our situation here is stable and there is no risk cause of the good relationships between Jordan and the biggest countries in all over the world. The economical side, the central bank reports shows that there is a grouth in some areas and a little loss in the others which normal also, cause of the inflation rate is increased and the orices is raises in all sectors, now most of potential & existing cutomer are looking and interested in banking protoions even if it is on the the assets side or the liabilities side. Social side the commercial banks have a good popularity in the market cause of its products & services and promotions. Also, as for Islamic banks, its all about a religious belief.
cause of that they have a banking products to fit this segment and we cant consider them as a main compatitors cause as I mentioned before its about religious belifies which we cant do any thing for it. The technological side, in Jordan we have lot of companies can provide us with the latest technology in the world to facilitate the banking operations.

According to CITATION Dep18 l 1033 (Departmentofstatistics, 2018) the papulation in Jordan is 10,135,544.

The suggestion here is to make more segmentation to target all types of customers. Segmentation : According to banks current situation and to the country regions distribution and the culture too, we will use three segmentation methods, geographical , demographical and behavioral segmentation. Geographical segmentation: Increase the bank’s distribution in the country in the three regions (north , middle and south) by increasing number of branches , centers and ATM machines and improve the communication between different branches in different region in the country and also to open a new market for the bank’s existing products. Demographical segmentation : set a produts depending on some elements as the age, family size and gender, occupation to cover all the customers segments and providing different products for each category to meet there needs which efficts positively the bank’s growth , market share and profit and also to set a new products for the current market. Behavioral segmentation : this method helps us to creat a markwting connection with the customers accourding to their recent transactions , like the online transactions , credit cards , large deposits , freelance , students, salaries and overseas customers. Behavioral segmentation is less cost for the bank to increase the market share cause it all depends the secondy data the bank’s have in the data base.
Providing realr time commucications through the bank’s different channels like branches , call centers , mobile and emails. Targeting : The Marketing Mix : Product : BOJ have a collection of banking produts but we need to develop more products to cover all the market segemnts and to compete with other banks.
