INTRODUCTION
Organizations screen consumer loyalty so as to build their client base, reliability, incomes , aids , shares of
the pie and bearing . The more profits are the primary driver , excellent administration center around the
users and their active participation in the association. Organisations work to make their client cheerful and to
make them take active participation in the organisation. Consumer loyalty majorly relies on how the
consumer is treated by the organisation. To make a consumer an organisation daily product user, the
organisation should definitely focus on the consumer satisfaction.
Customer Satisfaction
Customer satisfaction is a term which is widely used in organisation as a of nowaday and is a really
important concept which got popular since the organisation gets to know the to form a good position in
market, satisfying a consumer is really important.So what is consumer satisfaction, Consumer satisfaction is
term which means a product or a service which is being manufactured or made after so many of try and fail
methods whether it satisfies any single need of the customer. As it is always said in our marketing books that,
“CUSTOMER IS THE KING OF THE MARKET” this statement is so true because, whatever the products
are being made by any organisation are major to provide help or to solve a human being problem. Customers
will always be a king because customer needs and tastes are always changing constantly. And organisations
should update their services respectively.
For example, take an example of a swiggy company/zomato/mobile companies/Amazon and other websites
which offer online services through their vast networks.., They always take the feedback from the customer
after delivering the service. And this feedback doesn’t just stay between the delivery boy or the customer,
this will be forwarded to the company managing administration who do analysis whether the customer is
satisfied or not.
Some definitions also define, that it doesn’t depend upon the confirmation of the customer or the
disconfirmation of the client whether the product is upto the mark or not. It totally depends upon the
customer loyalty and accountability of the person who is responsible to provide full satisfaction. Some
company use the client and customer formula, they form teams and divide the customer base to each team
7
and direct them towards each step on how to satisfy their customers, it is not fully correct to take the
feedback from customers because customer feedbacks totally depend upon their moods. They won’t be
giving the full and actual information. They resist talking on calls to the customer care because its a waste of
time for them.
Customers satisfaction totally depends upon the product performance and if the product is not upto their
expectation the this expectation moves towards the service which is to be received by the customer on behalf
of what is not still not received by the customer. If the product is not upto the expectations, the customer will
be highly disappointed, if it’s upto the expectation then the customer will feel satisfied. But if, consumer
expectation are beyondly fulfill by the product then, the customer will get highly satisfied which is directly
related to more buying/purchases by a customer. Most of the companies make their customers highly
satisfied when it’s the first buy of the customer and some focus on just making a customer satisfied, and
some can’t even make them satisfied. So first and the second conditions are still good for providing
satisfaction third should not be anyone’s aim who is running a business. The company who makes their
customer highly satisfied are the one who keeps get more purchases from the customer and gets into the long
run of business, that directly leads to more scalability, growth, more profits, more investors etc other benefits.
Hence’ highly satisfying the customer is the basic need for an organisation to grow.
The other most important thing an organisation should keep in mind when they make their customer base is
never to lose the existing customer and their record of past buyings. As it is the most helpful data to make
more customers, as most people have similar buying behaviours. Similar buying behaviours also tell the
organisations whether which type of products are getting more sales and which are not. So customers should
keep a record of buying of their past buyers and their buying behaviours. And also to flash those offers which
are favourable for them as in their mobile apps ad. and else place mobiles are vastly in use by customers.
Also, an organisation should never forgets how a customer git satisfied in previous buying and by previous
products and services. As an already satisfied customer will keep buying from the same organisation and will
keep telling other about the same, i.e., how good your organisation services are and how much satisfied he is
with getting attached by product and services. Similarly, if the organisation gets successful to satisfy moe
customer, this form a chain of continuous buying and continuous satisfaction feedbacks to other and the
product and the brand will get established easily with the passage of time and can create a good amount of
profit and goodwill in the market by just satisfying some customers in the beginning.
