Definition of Marketing
• Identifying evolving consumer preferences, then
capitalizing on them through the creation,
promotion and delivery of products and services
that satisfy the corresponding demand. This is
done by solving the right customers’ problems,
giving them what they want or need at the time
and place of their choosing, and at the price they
are willing to pay.

Contextual Marketing
• Give the customer what she wants and make
it useful and accessible so she can take action
when it matters to her
• Widget: widgets are basically little websites
that display directly on the Dashboard, rather
than in a web browser.

Customer Loyalty/Relationship
Marketing Does Not Equal Frequency
Marketing
Creating Customer Loyalty (c) Stowe Shoemaker, Ph.D
15
Frequency . . . Focusing on Behavior
When customers give you a greater share
of their transactions than they might
have without the program, usually in
exchange for accumulating miles, points,
or other surrogate discounts.
You ask: Aren’t we quibbling here, isn’t that
loyalty?
Creating Customer Loyalty (c) Stowe Shoemaker, Ph.D
16
Commercial on Frequency
Creating Customer Loyalty (c) Stowe Shoemaker, Ph.D
17
Drawbacks of Frequency
• Exclusive focus on behavior ignores the emotional
and psychological factors that build real
commitment.
• Without that commitment the customer focuses on
“the deal,” not the brand or product relevance.
• A behavior focus makes bribing the customer
irresistible.
• Erodes the brand and diminishing product
differentiation.

Commercial on Loyalty
Creating Customer Loyalty (c) Stowe Shoemaker, Ph.D
19
Loyalty . . . Focusing on Emotion
When the customer feels so strongly that
you can best meet his or her relevant needs,
your competition is virtually excluded from
the considered set, and the customer buys
almost exclusively from you — referring to
you as “their restaurant” or “their hotel.”
Winning maximum share of heart, mind and
wallet.

Like a Marriage
• “The sale merely consummates the courtship.
• Then the marriage begins. How good the
marriage is depends on how well the
relationship is managed by the seller.
• It is more a matter of what the buyer wants.
• He wants a vendor
• who will keep his promises,
• who'll keep supplying and stand behind
what he promised.
Creating Customer Loyalty (c) Stowe Shoemaker, Ph.D
21
The Benefits of Real Loyalty
• “Loyal customers tend to maintain their positive
expectations relatively longer than low-loyalty
consumers, so they are not likely to adjust
expectations based on episodic factors”
• “Loyal customers tend to show:
•
•
•
•
a special preference, attachment, commitment,
positive WOM,
low switching to competitive brands,
willingness to pay premium price”
(Youjae and Suna, 2004).
Creating Customer Loyalty (c) Stowe Shoemaker, Ph.D
22
The Benefits of Real Loyalty
• The customer focuses on your brand, offers and
messages to the exclusion of the competition.
• Price is no longer the dominant consideration, but
one component in the larger value proposition.
• Loyalty provides critical inoculation.
• Competitive offers face a higher hurdle.
• The customer becomes more forgiving — goodwill
equity.
• Loyalty begets loyalty.

Word of Mouth
Creating Customer Loyalty (c) Stowe Shoemaker, Ph.D
31
Word of Mouth
• The One Number Firms Should Be
Concerned About
• Critical in services because of variability and
heterogeneity – customers discount
advertising, PR, and the like
• WOM comes from friend, associate, family
member
Creating Customer Loyalty (c) Stowe Shoemaker, Ph.D
32
Word of Mouth - continues
• Questions to ask:
• How likely is it that you would recommend
_______ to a friend or colleague?
use a 0 to 10 scale
Creating Customer Loyalty (c) Stowe Shoemaker, Ph.D
33
Word of Mouth - continues
• Net Promoter: calculate
• % of people who respond with a 9 or 10 (promoters)
• % of people who respond with a 0 – 6 (detractors)
Net Promoter Score = Promoters – Detractors
(E-Bay, Amazon, USAA 75% - 80%
Median 400 firms in 28 industries was 16%)

with a given customer during the time this
customer continues to buy from you
• In today’s dollars/Euro/Yen
Creating Customer Loyalty (c) Stowe Shoemaker, Ph.D
36
Life-Time Value - continued
• Life-time value of a customer increases as
defections decrease
• Life-time value needs to be calculated for
each market segment
• Should be used in marketing strategy

Life Time Value Information
•
Calculate the following:
a. Gross profit of an average purchase:
b. Average number of purchases per year by customer:

purchase:
d. Probability customer will continue to purchase:
•
Formula:
LVIC = a*b + (a*b*c*d)

•
•
•
•
•

purchases
c. Average number of years customer will continue to
purchase:12
d. Probability customer will continue to purchase:
3,500/8,000=.437

Calculations
• Average number of years customer will
continue to purchase:
• 1. Look at by market segment: locals,
groups, etc
• 2. Look in data base to see how long they
have been buying from you
• 3. How likely are you to continue to visit
this property in the future? If scale 1 – 7
and they rate a 6 then 6/7 = probability of
repurchase
