CRM
The concept of CRM is premised on the
simple logic of business : it must keep
tracking customers once attracted; retain
them in business portfolio and profit from
their growth.
CRM epitomizes the ‘ marriage of
relationship marketing with the emerging
information technology’.
Integration of “people, process , technology
and data”
CRM in Retail
Expectations of customer is increasing, he asks for
more and more value for the same price, and whoever
provides him increasing value for money, he buys
products from that marketer.
Every retailer today is aiming at an attempt to make a
casual customer into a loyal customer who develops a
bond with the retail store he/she visits.
Customer relationship management as a transactional
exchange helps the marketer to understand the
customer's sentiments and buying habits so that the
customer can be provided with products and services
before he starts demanding them.
What is so special in CRM programs which drive the
customer back to the store?
