Bae, Young Han. "Three essays on the customer satisfaction-customer loyalty association." Diss., University of Iowa, 2012. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/3255.
Full textAbstract:
The association between customer satisfaction and customer loyalty is one of the most central relationships for marketing theory and practice. To improve our understanding of this essential relationship in marketing, we develop a comprehensive and flexible theoretical framework for analyzing the association between customer satisfaction and customer loyalty, which simultaneously incorporates heterogeneity in the possible dimensions of competitive settings. This theoretical framework is grounded by more than 40 years of academic and practitioner research on the association between these two constructs, which allows us to more precisely examine the true nature of the association between satisfaction and loyalty by incorporating competitive setting heterogeneity. In addition, we test our theoretical framework by estimating a 3-level empirical hierarchical linear model, using American Customer Satisfaction Index data and several customer, firm and industry characteristics.
Our findings indicate that the true nature of the association between satisfaction and loyalty is significantly influenced by competitive setting differences. Accounting for such differences allows firms and managers to significantly increase their ability to effectively convert satisfaction investments into loyalty. Also, we identify important trade-offs between the intercept and slope of the association between the two metrics, indicating that firms' incentives to invest or not in satisfaction differ dramatically across industries. Depending on the shape of their satisfaction-loyalty curve, firms can obtain a certain level of loyalty by indirectly choosing how much to invest in satisfaction. Therefore, customer satisfaction must be treated as an endogenous variable. In our subsequent analysis, we control for both satisfaction endogeneity and competitive settings heterogeneity using a Two-Stage Least Squares 3-level hierarchical linear model, correcting the standard error estimates via a jackknife procedure. This research provides precise, important theoretical and managerial insights, and broadens our understanding of the essential features of the satisfaction-loyalty relationship.

Full textAbstract:
In Sweden today almost all people are connected to a bank in some way. It can range from loans, savings, shares, etc. They have a current account where salaries, student aid etc. is paid. Due to the large selection of banks, it has become more important for banks to be competitive in their services to their customers so they don’t change bank. This has led to that more and more banks are trying to get their customers to be more loyal to the bank by being more competitive. Loyalty is the result of several interrelated factors such as customer satisfaction and service. This leads to the purpose of this study to investigate if the demographic aspects have any influence on loyalty. Through a questionnaire survey, this study examined whether there is an influence of the demographic aspects on loyalty. The questionnaire consisted of questions based on previous research. It was distributed to people in Kristianstad on three different locations. Overall response rate to the questionnaires distributed gave us a participation of 110 respondents. The results were then statistically processed in order to test if there is a significant difference in loyalty within the various demographic aspects. According to this study, we could not find any differences in the demographic aspects. However, we were able to find small differences in the mean values between the different groups in the demographic aspectsI dagens Sverige är i stort sett alla personer på något sätt kopplade till en bank. Det kan vara alltifrån lån, sparande, aktier m.m. Nästan alla personer i dagens Sverige har ett transaktionskonto dit lön, studiemedel m.m. utbetalas. På grund utav det stora utbudet av banker har det blivit viktigare för bankerna att vara konkurrenskraftiga i sina tjänster till sina kunder så att de inte byter bank. Detta har medfört att fler och fler banker satsar mycket resurser på att få sina kunder att bli lojala mot banken. Lojalitet är resultatet utav flera sammanhängande faktorer som exempelvis kundnöjdhet och service. Detta leder till uppsatsens syfte att undersöka ifall de demografiska aspekterna har påverkan på lojalitet. Genom en enkätundersökning har denna studie undersökt ifall det finns en påverkan av de demografiska aspekterna på lojalitet. Enkäten bestod av frågor som grundar sig på tidigare forskning. Den delades ut till personer i Kristianstad vid tre olika tillfällen. Totala svarsfrekvensen på de utdelade enkäterna gav oss ett deltagande på 110 respondenter. Resultaten har sedan bearbetats statistiskt för att testa ifall det råder signifikanta skillnader på lojalitet inom de olika demografiska aspekterna. Enligt denna studie kunde vi inte påvisa några skillnader inom dem demografiska aspekterna. Däremot kunde vi urskilja små skillnader i medelvärdena mellan de olika grupperna i de demografiska aspekterna.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Statistics say that Pakistan is the third largest user of compressed natural gas, its increased demand has encouraged investment in this sector. Number of stations has doubled in less than four years, this has increased the ratio of competition and low amounts of profit. Cut throat competition forces retailers to work on quality for customers’ retention and for this retailers are expected to understand the needs and requirements of their customers. This understanding is the only key to customer retention. Research undertaken focus on the key issues faced by CNG stations for customers’ retention. The study will focus on retailer’s strategies for customer retention in a competitive environment. Purpose: The purpose of this paper is study customer retention strategies adopted by compressed natural gas (CNG) retailing stations, in a developing country (Pakistan). Research Question: How do CNG retailing stations satisfy, make loyal, and retain their customers in a competitive environment? Methodology: Deductive approach has been adopted for this research to investigate the behaviour of customers through telephone interviews, as it is a distant research. Convenience sample has been selected for this research and ten semi-structured telephonic interviews have been conducted to get the empirical data from the CNG retailers of Lahore, stations from ten different stations have been selected on the basis of prestige, repute and amount of publicity in print and electronic media. Semi structured interviews will be based on primary and secondary data together. Primary data is in the form of interviews, secondary in the form of reports and published journals. Telephonic interview was based on open-ended questions to judge the views, knowledge and utility of customers experience and close-ended questions that have provided the direct and accurate answers. Telephonic interviews have advantages and disadvantages but for a distant research like this, it is the only best possible methodology to get first-hand knowledge quickly, interview was based on ten questions to get a complete picture of customers’ retention. Operationalization was based on 14 questions question 1 to 6 are about customers’ satisfaction, 7 to 11 customer loyalty and 12 to 14 customer retention. Validity and reliability is the key to success for any research. Same question were asked in different ways to check the reliability of the answers, target oriented questions were asked to validate the objective of the research and to make research credible. Conclusion and Results: The research establishes that most companies do not have specific plans for the customer retention in a cut-throat competitive environment. Customers’ service and technical issues were the targeted areas to understand the customers’ retention. Customers’ retention means profit, low retention means low profits. Result in a nutshell is an increased focus on imperial investigation, which is inevitable to study strategies for customer retention for the survival in the competitive world.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT Title: Mobile Marketing: Study of ICA – Correlation between mobile marketing and customer loyalty Level: Master Degree in Business Administration Authors: Bolor Amarsanaa and Joshua Anjorin Supervisor: Ernst Hollander Date: 2012 – January Aim: Having loyal customers is a key for successful organizations. There is increased complexity and competitiveness in the market place as regards to what companies need to do and how to do them in meeting the needs of customers. Is that why companies today are exploring the potentials of mobile phones to ultimately earn customers’ loyalty? However, there is not much research done in this area, especially in finding correlation between mobile marketing and customer loyalty. Thus, this research aims to examine correlation between mobile marketing and customer loyalty. Method: Data collection methods included literature reviews, a questionnaire and interviews. These were analysed by hypothesising, comparing with theories, and the use of descriptive analysis, correlation, and other methods presented as discussions, tables, and charts. Results & Conclusions: The theoretical and empirical research findings show that customer loyalty is positively related with mobile marketing. Use of mobile marketing such as mobile application, mobile web and SMS can perhaps enhance customer loyalty by meeting the demand of customers; increasing interaction and communication with customers; and increasing customer satisfaction. However, due to the research limitations and due to the fact that mobile marketing is a relatively new field of study, it needs some more time and more extensive research to make a general assumption about relationship between them and the strength of such relationship. Suggestions for future research: For further research, more extended research with broader samples is essential. It will be also crucial to investigate how much of an effect mobile marketing has on customer loyalty by scrutinizing company’s cost and profit measurements of mobile marketing besides opt-in and opt-out measurements of customers. Contribution of the thesis: We hope that this research has scratched the surface to this new field of study and made an addition to existing theory. It also stirs up interests in the emerging research on mobile marketing’s untapped potentials. Key words: Mobile Marketing, Customer loyalty, mobile phone, customer satisfaction, communication with customers.

Sheehan, Benjamin. "How interjections increase customer satisfaction, purchase intent and loyalty." Thesis, Queensland University of Technology, 2022. https://eprints.qut.edu.au/232832/1/Benjamin_Sheehan_Thesis.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
This research suggests that interjections e.g., “wow”, “aww”, and “hmm”, shape consumer attitudes and behaviours. Seven experiments demonstrate that consumers are more satisfied, willing to purchase, and loyal when service agents (human or chatbot) use interjections. Consumers respond positively to interjections because they feel listened to, feel the agent is in a positive mood, and feel the agent is human. The effect holds across a range of contexts and stages of the purchasing process. The findings shed light on a range of psychological processes while providing a straightforward means of enhancing satisfaction, purchase intent, and loyalty.

Full textAbstract:
Customer retention, loyalty and satisfaction are extremely important elements in any company’s strategy, especially in the highly competitive South African banking industry. Understanding the various factors that could influence these constructs is therefore critical to organizational success.
Several studies showed the impact of these measures on profitability and shareholder value, but there has been little effort to access the factors that might lead to higher levels of retention, loyalty and satisfaction, especially in the banking industry.
This paper examines the antecedents of customer retention, satisfaction and loyalty. These possible factors include: perceived value, perceived corporate image, perceived competitive advantage, perceived switching barriers, communication, knowledgeable employees, empowerment, personalisation, ethical behaviour, fees, relationship marketing, service quality (core and relational) as well as enabling service features.
The results indicated that customer loyalty, customer satisfaction, switching barriers and communication had a significant impact on customer retention; customer loyalty, perceived value, perceived corporate image, retention, empowerment and relationship marketing had a significant impact on customer satisfaction; and customer satisfaction, switching barriers, perceived value, customer retention, fees, competitive advantage and relationship marketing had a significant impact on customer loyalty. It is evident that there is a close relation between satisfaction, retention and loyalty as all three influence each other in some way or another.Thesis (MBA)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2013.

Full textAbstract:
In today’s competitive marketplace, simply satisfying customers is no longer sufficient to assure long-term customer-firm relationships, especially for firms that experience a service failure. Companies are now looking for additional ways to secure customer retention and raise customer loyalty. By applying social identity theory, this research empirically explores customercompany identification (customer identification) and its potential predicting factors in a service failure context. Service failures are inevitable but create negative emotions and behaviors in consumers that are directed against service firms. Service recovery from a failure is always a vital step in pacifying dissatisfied customers and maintaining ongoing relationships with them. However, is identification among customers also influenced by service recovery? The effect of customer perceptions of service recovery on customer identification is first examined in the present research. Moreover, given that service recovery may not always work in the desirable way that service firms expect, executing recovery is not the single solution for relationship maintenance following failed service. In contemporary marketing, corporate social responsibility (CSR) is considered a measure for rebuilding customer relationships that offers firms “insurance-like protection against negative situations. Then, would CSR complement a recovery strategy and be effective in protecting firms from service failure? The effect of the interplay between recovery and CSR on customer identification in the advent of a service failure is examined. In addition, today’s customers are eager to participate in their service experience. Customers can now enjoy services by cooperating with service providers. Whereas the current literature emphasizes the benefits of customer participation only in routine service settings, this research attempts to further explore the potential moderating role of customer participation in service delivery (either service provision or service recovery) in influencing customer post-failure identification and subsequent responses in a failure context. A multi-method approach has been adopted in the present research. A field survey was first conducted using a sample of 354 customers in Hong Kong; this was followed by two scenario-based laboratory studies using a total of 370 students. The research findings contribute to the literature and social identity theory by examining the interaction between recovery and CSR with respect to customer identification in a service failure. The results demonstrate that perceived recovery justice positively influences customer post-failure identification with a service firm. Also, high perceived CSR performance is more effective in fostering customer identification when customers have lower justice perceptions regarding the recovery attempt. Furthermore, the research sheds light on the value of involving customers in service delivery. Customer participation in either service provision or recovery strengthens the positive impact of CSR on customer identification and ultimately contributes to customer loyalty intentions. Therefore, involving customers in co-creating service or recovery is a cost-effective strategy to strengthen customer-firm relationships even in the advent of a service failure.

The securities market is built on top of people and capital. Therefore, the interaction bewteen investors and a securities dealer is the key point to success. People often say that the securities brokerage industry is at the mercy of the weather, meaning that it all depends on unpreditable market condition. As a result, even when the next bull market emerges, a securities agent may still miss the opportunity if the service has not been maintained to a very high standard. Securities business customers are the most important strategic resources. Profitability and even the very survival of securities dealers depends heavily on factors such as customer satisfaction, customer loyalty, as well as the management and maintenance of long-term relations. In this study, we will analyze data collected from the top ten securities business customers in Taiwan, and propose possible strategies to enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty, given the current context of the expansion of cross-strait economic relations and the deteriorating price competition in the industry. The purpose of this study is to explore the correlation between relationship quality, customer satisfaction and customer loyalty, specifically, we will analyze: 1. Major dimensions of relationship quality, customer satisfaction and loyalty 2. The impact of relationship quality on customer satisfaction 3. The impact of customer satisfaction on customer loyalty. Found results: 1. Relationship quality antecedents (RQA) have a positive impact on relationship quality. 2. Relationship quality antecedents (RQA) have a positive impact on customer satisfaction. 3. Relationship quality has a positive impact on customer satisfaction. 4. Customer satisfaction has a positive impact on customer loyalty.

ABSTRACT According to an estimated plan of Industrial Technology Research Institute of Taiwan- IEK-ITIS, if based on year 2005, the electronic equipment that make by ourselves will bring up to 30% then the output value of mechanical equipment can be pushed and risen to 800 billion Taiwan dollars upwards. Besides, if the making rate rises to 40% by ourselves ,the mechanical output value can break through 1 trillion Taiwan dollar.So the domestic demand market is really a key market with no neglected. The growth strength of reviewing Korea ''s mechanical industry''s production is higher than the other countries in the world, it is highly support by their own industry to make the mechanical rate by themselves is high. This will save much costs of investment of equipment for enterprises and certainly increase the invisible competitiveness too. In the electronic manufacture industry and witness the EMS/OEM/ODM factories of Taiwan is in order to seize and take the place of order that held the price war each other''s so that the gross profit has already backfalled to the single digit unit , even there is the so-called protecting five (gross profit is 5% ) or protecting six (gross profit is 6% ). Among these industries rely mainly more on importing and invest the producing mechanical equipment but except the main equipment, the other’s filed actually give a very big growth space of domestic mechanical equipment suppliers . Of course, there are taking an certain levels to a broad view of the improvement making the ability of the domestic equipment to match the industry''s demand on promoted technology in recent years but the author is curious except to excavate the stealthy successful factors to drive this success. Actually, I got the answer from several customers site, that is to say : Domestic mechanical equipment manufacturers'' provide the flexible of customized solution to satisfy customer''s demand immediately , good service quality , establish good customer''s relation in order to the customer satisfaction and promoting the favourable price.It’s did building an certainly long-term relationship for accumulated loyalty too. Serving quality has already been verified as a key factor of driving satisfaction by a lot of research, and satisfaction can influence the customer''s loyal intention effectively . So this research is served the cue discussion to examine the SERVQUAL (Parasuraman, Zeithaml & Berry,1988) again and try to find the influence on the mechanical equipment trader in order to find out the factor association suiting this industry even more. This survey found the the satisfaction is the mediator between customer''s loyalty & serving quality. Finally,it’s found the customization is a moderator of improving the quality of serving and promoting satisfaction. This research found the “Assurance is the most iii important composition factor in the service quality and it prove have the straight influence about satisfaction”. This research expects to be able to offer a new thinking direction not only for domestic manufacturers of mechanical equipment, perhaps while offering to the domestic demand market but also for make preparation in advance if having the future export business opportunity.

The cellular phone’s market is very competitive. Marketers provide all kinds of services to their customers, but customers are difficult to choose a suitable proprietor. Customers may feel confusion when they compare different proprietors’ products, services, and ratings. The cellular phone’s market studies in Taiwan have already investigated the relationship of customer satisfaction and brand loyalty, but never discuss the phenomenon of confusion’s influence. The purpose of the study is examining the phenomenon of confusion in the cellular phone’s market. Besides this, we want to realize the relationship of customer confusion, customer satisfaction, and brand loyalty. So, the framework of this study is developing the structure of demographic, service quality, and marketing mix strategies towards customer confusion, customer satisfaction, and brand loyalty. Our research provides marketing scientists with operational definitions of “customer confusion” and establishes reliability and validity in a comprehensive measurement framework. These are: 1. The structure of service quality and marketing mix strategies have significant influence of customer confusion and customer satisfaction; 2. An increase in customer confusion leads to lower satisfaction scores; 3. Brand loyalty is not related to customer confusion and customer satisfaction. Marketers should reduce cellular phone users’ confusion to acquire higher customer satisfaction when customers have low brand loyalty. Marketers need to provide clearly promotion strategies. And they also need to retain original customers in order to improve brand loyalty.

Among customer satisfaction models, the exchange outcome satisfaction model (information satisfaction, social exchange satisfaction and recreation satisfaction) modified for podcasts is used, and configural methods (fsQCA software) is used to test the proposition of whether exchange outcome satisfaction results in attitudinal loyalty and behavioral loyalty. The empirical data the student uses 1341 responses collected from the listenership of The Adam Carolla Show, one of the most popular podcasts in the United States. Overall, exchange outcome satisfaction (a combination of information satisfaction, social exchange satisfaction, and recreation satisfaction) was not more necessary or sufficient to result in either attitudinal loyalty or behavioral loyalty than was the combination of recreation satisfaction and information satisfaction together It was found that exchange outcome satisfaction is not any more necessary or sufficient to result in the presence of attitudinal loyalty or behavioral loyalty than the presence of either recreation satisfaction or information satisfaction alone. It was also found that the antecedents for behavioral loyalty and attitudinal loyalty are very similar, and thus the research proposition is not supported. Furthermore, demographic analyses show that, males with one dimension of exchange outcome satisfaction are highly likely to have both attitudinal and behavioral loyalty. Conversely, education level and age do not have a significant effect on loyalty.

This shows a potential business in Internet is not ignorable. A successful E-business over Internet would be based into two factors: technical and business strategy. Technical is the means to achieve goals of business strategy. However, technical factors in Internet environment include Web design, network transmission performance, product/service representations, transaction successful rate, etc. One of the above technical factors does not do well for customers, it will affect and stop consumers shopping in Web. For business strategy factor, companies have to evaluate their products/services strategies that are suitable selling in Web. Good promotion ideas, product price strategy, supply chain systems and web environment creation are also required. Many E-business companies are looking for new customers, they emphasize on the number of consumer growth rate. Companies develop many promotion campaigns to attract new customers. But they forget to keep customer’s loyalty. Customer’s loyalty is very important for sales revenue. In this research, customer satisfaction and loyalty from the viewpoint of customer value in E-business over Internet are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Professional Doctorate - Doctor of Business Administration (DBA)Supermarkets are a low margin high volume business with low entry barriers and switching costs. When markets become saturated and customer retention is more important than ever, many supermarkets launch their own customer loyalty programs aimed at increasing customer loyalty to the store. The rewards and services that come with loyalty programs bring a significant cost to supermarkets. However, a small increase in customer loyalty can generate significant increases in sales turnover that helps to recoup loyalty program investment. From the literature review, it is posited that customer loyalty programs have a positive and linear effect on customer satisfaction with the store, and on store loyalty. Furthermore, there is strong empirical evidence that store satisfaction is antecedent to store loyalty. This study examines the stance that store satisfaction mediates the relationship between customer loyalty programs and store loyalty. This study adopts the Bridson, Evans and Hickman (2008) framework from the literature to investigate the relationship between customer loyalty programs, customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. The online questionnaire administration collected 205 responses from individuals aged at least 18 years and living in Hong Kong. The relationship between different constructs are analysed with SPSS software. The findings reveal that customer loyalty programs indeed have a positive and linear effect on store satisfaction and store loyalty. Store satisfaction is also found to mediate the relationship between customer loyalty programs and customers’ store loyalty. More importantly, this study discovers that there is no difference in store loyalty between loyalty program members and those who are not loyalty program members. In addition, this study found that the role of location was a strong predictor of store satisfaction and price image. The study reveals that customer service and price image are the two most important factors influencing store loyalty. Thus, practitioners and owners of supermarkets should consider adjusting their loyalty program designs based on these findings as they strive to obtain optimum results for their supermarkets.

With the increase of the number of foreign tourists in Taiwan and the growing competitiveness in air transportation market, it becomes more and more difficult for a company to keep its market share and to raise it. Researches indicate that customers nowadays request not only the perfection of core services but also relational benefits from air transportation providers. Air transportation companies hope to satisfy their customers by providing relational benefits to them and meanwhile keep their customers in this relation. On the other hand, air transportation companies also expect customer loyalty strengthened by the switching barrier that is increased by their provision of relational benefits to their customers. However, when customers are not satisfied with services that air transportation companies provide, they would choose to stay in their relation with their service provider because of the switching barrier. This research adopts structural equational model and regression analysis to prove theoretical model, and take customers who have the experiences of air traveling as subjects. The result reveals that confident benefits and social benefits have positive effects on customer satisfaction, but special treatment benefits’ effects on customer satisfaction is not significant. Switching barriers, and that customer satisfaction and switching barriers strengthen customer loyalty. Moreover, switching barriers has moderating effect between customer satisfaction and loyalty. In the future, when air transportation companies plan to enhance customer loyalty, this study may serve as a strategic reference to help air transportation companies retain their customers, or even attract new customers by their recognized reputation to raise their revenue.
