Abstract
This research aimed to investigate the impact of marketing strategies on the performance of Ethiopian
banks. The researcher used both descriptive and explanatory research designs to explain the
relationship between marketing mix strategies and the performance of Ethiopian banks. The sample
size of 147 employees from all main branches of Ethiopian commercial banks was determined using the
census method. The data sources include primary and secondary data. A structured close-ended
questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale is used to gather data. The data is analyzed using statistical
software, and the results will be presented through tables, graphs, and charts. The study collected
demographic data from respondents and analyzed their characteristics to gain insights into how they
may influence the study's findings. Based on the responses, and the product and promotion were rated
positively, while the price, place, and performance received lower ratings, with some variation in
responses for specific aspects.
Regression analysis was conducted, and the F-value of 25.519 and a significance level of .000 indicated
that the predictors collectively have a significant impact on the overall Performance. The standardized
coefficients (Beta) revealed that Promotion and Product were the most important predictors of
Performance. The study tested four hypotheses related to the effects of product, price, place, and
promotion on performance. The results showed that product and price have significant effects on
market performance, while the place had an insignificant effect. The promotion was found to have a
significant effect on performance. The R Square value of 0.438 indicated that approximately 44% of the
variance in the outcome variable is explained by the predictors in the model. Pearson correlation
coefficients and significance levels were used to test for collinearity among predictor variables, and all
of the predictor variables had tolerance values greater than 0.1, indicating no significant collinearity
among them. Furthermore, all of the VIF values were less than 10, which is a positive sign.
In conclusion, this study revealed that not all market strategy dimensions have a positive effect on
market performance. Product and promotion were found to have a significant positive effect on
performance. Price and location had a positive but insignificant effect on performance. These findings
have important implications for Ethiopian banks looking to improve their marketing strategies and
overall performance.
