1.6.1 Relation Marketing
To understand customer relationship marketing we must examine the process involve din
attracting and keeping customers.
The sales person sale the product and encourage the customer to call if he/she has any
questions comments, and complains.
The sales person phones the customer the short time after the sale check whether the
product is meeting customer expectations. The sales person also ask the customer for any
product or service improvement suggestion and may specify disappointments this information
helps the company continuously improve its performance.
The company sales person contacts the customers from time to time with suggestions
about improved product sue.
13
The company works continuously with the customer to discover ways to effect customer
savings or help the customer perform better.
Most companies practice only basic marketing if their markets contain many customers
and if their unit profit margins age small. Thus the Heinz company is not going to phone each
ketchup buyer to express appreciation. At best, Heinz will be reactive may setting up a customer
hot line.
After extreme in markets with few customers and high profits margins most sellers will
move toward partnership marketing Boeing parlance and ensuring that they fully satisfy united
requirements. Shows between the two extreme situates other levels of relationship marketing are
appropriate.
What specific marketing told can company use to develop stronger customer bonding and
satisfaction? Berry and parasuraman have distinguished there customer value building
approaches.
Adding financial benefits, adding social benefits and adding structural ties.
Two financial benefits the companies can offer are frequency marketing programs and
club marketing programs. Frequency marketing programs (FMPS) are designed to prove reward
to customers who buy frequently and or in substantial amounts. Frequency marketing is an
acknowledgement if the fact that 20% of a company customer might account of 80% its buss.
Proprietary software programs, marketing research sales training and sales lead to ota
loyal customers.
14
Ultimately marketing is the art of attracting and keeping profitable customers. According
to James V. Patten of American express the best customers outspend others by ratios 16 to 17 in
the hotel/modal industry.
Carl Sewell, who runs one of the best-managed auto dealership in the world estimates
that a typical auto buyer value of over 3, 00,000 in car purchase and services. Yet every company
less money on some of its customers.
The well-known 80/20 rule says the top 20% of the customers may generate as much as
80% of the company’s pots. William sherden has suggested amending the rules to reside
80/20/30, to reflect the idea theta. “The top 20% of customer generate 80% of the company’s
profits half of which is lost serving the bottom 30% of unprofitable customers” the implication is
the a that company could improve its profits my firing its worst customers.
Furthermore it isn’t necessarily the company largest customers who are yielding the most
profit. The largest customers demand considerable service and receive the deepest discounts thus
reducing the company profile level. The smallest customer pay full price and receive minimal
service but the costs of automatically upon purchase or promised purchase of a certain amount,
or paying a fee. Some clubs have been spectacle successful.
Here company personnel work on increasing their social bonds with customers
individualizing and personalizing there customer relationships. Table 2-2 contrasts asocial
sensitive to a socially insensitive approach to customers. Essence thoughtful companies turn their
customers into clients.

CHAPTER II
This chapter deals with the research design, survey method, data collection details and
tools which are used for analysis and interpretation.
The researcher has made a descriptive study. This means that he has not used any
mathematical approach because the study covers costumer preference and satisfaction the
collection basic information in simple contest. The topic selected to deal with.
The formidable that follows the task of the defining the research problem is the
preparation of the design of the research project, popularly known as the ‘research design’
Decisions regarding what when, where, when how much, by what means concerning an inquiry
or a research study “a research design is the arrangement of conditions for collection and
analysis of data in a manner that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with
economy in procedure.” In fact, the research design is the conceptual structure within which
research is conducted it constitutes the blue print for the collection, measurement and analysis of
data. As such design includes an outline of what the researcher will do from writing the
hypothesis and its operational implications to the final analysis of data.
16
Research design is needed because if facilitates the smooth sailing of the various research
operations, thereby making research as efficient as possible yielding maximal information with
minimal expenditure of effort, time and money. Just as for better, economical and attractive of
house, we need a blueprint well thought out and prepared by an expert architect, similarly we
need a research design or a plan in advance of data collection and analysis for the method to be
adopted for collecting the relevant data and the techniques to be used in their analysis, keeping in
view the objective of the research and the availability of staff, time and money. Preparation of
the research design should be done with great care as any error in it may upset the entire
project .Research design,infact as a great bearing on the reliability of the results arrived at
and as such constitute the firm foundation of the entire edifice of the research work.
Even then, the need for the well thought out research design is at times not realized by
many. The importance of that this problem deserves is not given to it. Therefore, many
researches do not serve the purpose for which they are undertaken infect, they may not serve the
may even give misleading conclusion, thoughtlessness’ in designing the research project may
results in rendering the research excise futile. It is, therefore, imperative that an efficient and
appropriate design must be prepared before starting research operations the design helps the
researchers to organize his ideas in a form whereby it will be possible for him to look for flaws
and in adequacies. Such a design can even be given to others for their commands and critical
evaluation. In the absence of such course of action, it will be difficult for the critic to provide a
comprehensive review of the proposed study.
17
Descriptive research is also known as ex-post facto research in descriptive type of
research, the researcher presents a description of state of affairs as it exists at present. The
researcher can present only what has happened or what is happening. The variable remains
beyond his control. The most commonly used method for conducting for research is survey
method of all kinds, including comparative and correlation.

the sample size.
