从家电企业谈顾客维系

随着家电市场竞争的日益激烈,顾客流失较为普遍,顾客的维度减弱已成为家电制造企业生存和发展中的最大困惑。产品质量缺陷、顾客对售后服务不满意、竞争对手夺走顾客、与顾客缺乏沟通是主要成因。有效防止顾客流失,企业应加快从＂以产品为核心＂向＂以顾客为中心＂转变,采取积极建立顾客档案、实施全面质量管理、提高服务质量、对顾客进行关联管理等有效措施,增强企业对顾客的维系度,降低顾客流失风险,提升市场竞争力。     

Localization and Customer Retention for Franchise Service Systems

This is one of the first studies to explore customer retention in reference to the franchisee–customer relationship. A subsequent objective was to examine localization and standardization from a franchise unit and system-level perspective. Data was collected using a self-administered survey based on customers of pet grooming services in Australia. Findings suggest that the addition of a customer retention perspective reveals a greater depth to the franchisee–customer relationship. Importantly, this implies that there are additional factors likely to influence franchisee–customer retention within franchise outlets. We suggest that individual franchise units, in cooperation with local customers, should co-create local marketing initiatives.     

Role of Customer Retention Equity in Creating and Developing Brand Value

The present study attempts to explore and establish a customer retention equity scale and examines its impact on brand value in the Indian banking sector. The data were collected from 500 account holders of the five nationalized banks—State Bank of India, Punjab National Bank, Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India, Housing Development Finance Corporation, and Jammu and Kashmir Bank from Jammu City, North India—using a purposive sampling technique. Structural equation modeling was applied to test the study hypotheses. The study finds that customer retention strategies that include loyalty and affinity schemes, special treatment benefits, a customer feedback survey, a courtesy system, and content marketing significantly contribute to retention equity. Further, the study also reveals that retention equity has a positive and significant impact on brand value and its dimensions—brand loyalty, brand association, and brand awareness. The study contributes to the extant literature by developing and validating the customer retention equity scale from customer perspectives in the Indian banking sector. In addition, the study also integrates the research stream of retention equity with brand value to signify the contributory role of customer retention equity on brand value and its dimensions. Since the study is limited to assessing customer retention equity and brand value relationship, their relationship with other constructs, such as relational quality, customer equity, and customer loyalty, should be explored in further work.     

Customer Selection and Prioritization

Abstract

That a firm benefits most when customers stick around for the long haul is a central premise of relationship marketing. This conviction has manifested itself over the past decade in the form of numerous formal loyalty programs that aim to seek and foster customer relationships. Scant evidence for the success of such programs has accrued since. This has lead firms to re-evaluate their investments in customer relationship management. Optimal resource allocation models address issues of relative investments in customer acquisition versus retention, and on managing relationships with profitable customers so that the value of a firm's customer base is maximized.

Leadership Style as Driver of Salespeoples' Customer Orientation

The topic of customer orientation has increasingly attracted interest in both academic marketing research and practice. One factor which has been increasingly discussed as an important driver of a sales person's customer orientation is that of leadership style. If a sales person's supervisor expresses a strong customer orientation this should have a strong impact on the behavior of his or her subordinates. However, this aspect has not received much research attention. In this study, we propose a theoretical framework of leadership style which identifies three key dimensions: initiation of structure, consideration, and initiation of customer orientation. Hypotheses which relate these dimensions to customer oriented attitudes and behaviors are then developed and empirically examined. Results support the presence of three dimensions of customer oriented leadership style. Findings also indicate differential effects of the three dimensions on customer oriented attitudes. The academic and managerial implications of these findings are then discussed.     

Ignoring Your Best Customer?

Abstract

Many organizations devote considerable amounts of money and human resources to develop systems aimed at improving customer retention and profitability. The conventional wisdom is that if retaining the most profitable customers is a good way to increase profitability, then allocating resources to increase the satisfaction of those customers has to be a great objective. However, managers do not observe clear link between satisfaction, retention and profitability. The reason is that different customers have different preferences for convenience as well as different costs associated with switching service providers. These preference and cost heterogeneities have important implications for how companies should target their customer service efforts.

In this paper, we adopt a latent class model to examine the interrelationship amongsatisfaction, retention and profitability. Applying the model to a data of customer satisfaction, self-reported switching propensity, and profitability provided to us by a large Midwestern bank, we make normative statements about which customers are the most criticalones for the company to satisfy and how to satisfy them. The results of this research help to explain why managers have been frustrated by the apparent lack of actionable information present in customer satisfaction data and points to more intelligent ways to use this data.

Customer Retention Strategies of Fast-Food Outlets in South Africa: A Focus on Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), Nando's,and Steers

The primary aim of the research was to critically analyze and evaluate the different customer retention strategies being implemented by fast-food outlets such as Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), Nando's, and Steers in South Africa. The fast-food industry in South Africa is experiencing numerous market-related changes, which range from intense globalization forces to heightening competition levels. The pressure on businesses today is further increased by a market where the customer acquisition rate is slowing, customer loyalty is decreasing, and sales cycles are lengthening. In such an environment, losing a valuable customer to a competitor can have a significant impact on profitability and growth. As a result, many companies have shifted their focus from customer acquisition to customer retention. The research was primarily concerned with assessing customer relationship management, relationship marketing, and communication through technology as strategies to maintain intimate relationships with customers. Personal interviews and in-depth interviews with the help of questionnaires were used to collect primary data in the research. The results indicated that KFC, Nando's, and Steers adopt similar marketing strategies or use the same concepts to manage their relationships with both internal and external customers and other stakeholders. These strategies and concepts include customer relationship management, relationship marketing, and technological means of communication.     

顾客参与对顾客满意和顾客公民行为的影响研究

在服务的生产传递过程中,顾客参与使顾客不再是独立于服务组织之外的单纯消费者。作为服务的共同生产者,顾客不仅会影响组织的生产效率和服务质量,还会影响自身的心理结果和行为结果。文章选取顾客满意和顾客公民行为作为顾客心理和行为结果的衡量指标,构建了顾客参与对顾客满意和顾客公民行为影响的理论模型,并以团队游为例进行了实证研究。研究表明：顾客参与的人际互动和信息分享两个维度对顾客满意有正向影响;顾客满意对顾客公民行为各维度均有正向影响;顾客参与对顾客公民行为有显著正向影响,且顾客满意在顾客参与对顾客公民行为的影响关系中存在部分中介效应。
