ABSTRACT
Several banks do not adequately understand their customers’ needs and
preferences, which has led to customer dissatisfaction. Their marketing
strategies are not correctly aligned to ensure customer satisfaction. They
assume they know the needs of their customers better than the customers
themselves. This has often lead to the adoption of wrong strategies which
yield no promising results. Hence customers become dissatisfied and are
willing to leave the organisation once they get the opportunity. For the banks
to be sustainable, innovative marketing through guerrilla marketing is
essential. Therefore, this paper examines the effect of guerrilla marketing
practices on customer satisfaction of selected deposit money banks in Lagos
State, Nigeria. Descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study.
The population of the study consists of management staffs at the strategic and
operational management level from eight selected deposit money banks in
Lagos state giving a population of 4837 and a sample size of 464 respondents
were determined using the Raosoft sample size calculator. A structured
questionnaire was administered which gave a response rate of 95.0%. The
instrument was validated and the Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient for
the constructs ranged from 0.752 to 0.904. The data gathered was analyzed
through descriptive, multiple regression analysis. The findings revealed that
there is a
