How do Buyers form their Expectations Expectations result from past buying experience; friends’ and associates’ advice and marketers’ and competitors’ information and promises. 1.If marketers raise expectations too high, the buyer is likely to be disappointed. 2.If the company sets expectations too low, it won’t attract enough buyers.

Monitoring Satisfaction Companies should measure systematically that how well they treat with the customers, identifying the factors shaping satisfaction, and making changes in their operations and marketing as a result. Monitoring satisfaction is very important because one key to Customer Retention is Customer Satisfaction. A highly satisfied customer generally stays loyal longer, buys more as the company introduces new products and upgrades existing products, talks favorably to others about the company and its products, pay less attention to competing brands and is less sensitive to price, offers products or service ideas to the company, and costs less to serve than new customers. High customer satisfaction has also been linked to higher returns and lower risk in the stock market.

Unless the co. can sign up customers with fewer sales calls, spend less per sales call, stimulate higher new-customer annual spending, retain customers longer, or sell them higher-product products, it is headed for bankruptcy.
