How many customers retained if complaint is only resolved vs resolved quickly?
70% vs 95%
Three components of the framework for detecting and correcting service failure?
1> Identify service failure. 2. Resolve customer problems and increase loyalty. 3. Communicate and classify service failures, improve service system, increase loyalty, and therefore profit.
What are the additional elements of the marketing mix in services marketing?
Physical evidence, participants, process.
What are the two sorts of outcomes that customers judge quality of service by?
Technical outcome (what is delivered), functional outcome (how it is delivered)
Why does unresolved failure detract from growth?
Detractors lead to demoralisation of employees and spread of negative word of mouth. This makes it harder to gain customers and high quality employees.
What does service recovery entail?
Recovering lost/dissatisfied customers, alter negative perceptions, convert to satisfied customers, and maintain a business relationship with them.
What is the service recovery paradox effect?
Initial service failure + high level of excellent service recovery leads to more satisfaction, and loyalty towards the organisation.
What are the key problems of services marketing?
Intangibility, inseparability (service is sold and then produced and consumed simultaneously), variability, perishability.
What are the three main intensities of distribution?
Intensive, exclusive, selective.
What are three ways price is determined? Describe.
Cost-based approach: profit assumed as long as markup figure is sufficient and meets sale expectations. Perversely leads to over pricing when demand is low, and underpricing when demand is high.
Competitive-based approach: Competing products used as a benchmark. Assumes there are no desperate competitors (but there always are!) Simple model.
Customer-based (value) approach: Focus on perceived value. Most successful when products are sold on emotion ie fashion, niche markets, where there are shortages of options.
What are 4 pricing tactics? Describe.
Penetration: Below value pricing to gain market share. Assumes little competitive relation. Can be difficult to subsequently raise prices.
Skimming: Above value pricing. Maximise short run profits. Price may be lowered subsequently to catch next level of demand. Consistent with quality/prestige pricing.
Price discrimination: Different price in different markets, requiring different price elasticity of demand in each market. Legal issues.
Stability: price between competitors maintained. Focus on product development and promotion.
What is quality assurance pricing?
Price communicates extra effort expended to produce a superior product. Effective when product performance varies, and cost of product failure is high.
What is prestige pricing?
Aim to keep price of product artificially high to encourage favourable perceptions.
Prospect theory?
Loss more significant than the equivalent gain. Sure gain is favoured over a probabilistic gain. Probabilistic loss is favoured over a definite loss.
When is pricing not always a key consideration?
For low involvement products such as convenience items, or for brand loyal customers.
What is the price quality heuristic?
High price -> high quality.
Why are price appeals so common? What is the disadvantage?
Appeals based on price are easier to communicate, price changes are more immediate and direct, there is no initial negative cash flow unlike with advertising. Competitors can react to price appeals more readily to appeals based on product formulations.
