It refers to the systematic method consisting hypothesis, of enunciating the the facts problem, and formulating a collecting reaching certain

THEORETICAL OUTLOOK
THEORETICAL OUTLOOK
MARKETING-DEFINITION:
According to clark and clark-market is an area which is force leading to exchange of title to a particular product operate and towards which and form which actual good tends to travel.

 Marketing is an integrating system. The ultimate aim of marketing is to satisfy human wants. In others words marketing is consumer oriented. Marketing process begins with recognition of customers.

MARKETING MANAGEMENT:
Marketing is the process of planning and executing the conception, pricing, promotion and distribution of ideas, goods and services to create exchanges, then satisfy individual and organizational goals.

MARKETING IS CONSUMER ORIENTED:

A business exists to satisfy human needs. Therefore business must first find out what the consumer want and then produce goods according to the needs of the consumes. Only such product should be produced which best satisfies consumer needs and at the profit of the market, under consumer oriented marketing, it is highly essential to know what the consumers really wants.

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION:
Satisfaction is the level of person resulting from campaign products perceived performance on relational to peoples exception. Satisfaction is the function of differences between perceived performance and exception. So the respondents can make a list of problems that they had with the offer and list of

improvements they suggest. Satisfaction is the function of perceived performance and exception. If the performance falls short of exceptions, the customer is dissatisfied. If the performance exceeds exception the customer is highly satisfied or delighted. Satisfaction is an important element in an evaluate stage. Satisfaction refers to the buyers state of being adequately rewarded in a buying situation for the sacrifice he has made. Adequacy of satisfaction is a result of matching actual past purchase and consumption experience with he expected reward from the band in terms of its anticipated potential to satisfy the consumers motives. HUNT has defined customer satisfaction as a Satisfaction is a kind of sleeping away from an experience and evaluating it, one could have a pleasurable experience that caused dissatisfaction even though pleasurable, it wasnt as pleasurable to be. So, satisfaction is not an emotion, its the evaluation of emotion. Once consumers purchase and use a product, they may then become either satisfied or dissatisfied. Research was uncovered several determinants variables, expectations and other factors. The more confidence one has in purchase decision-making and the more competence in a given product area the greater ones satisfaction tends to be. The result of satisfaction to the consumer from the purchase of product of services that more favorable post purchase attitudes, highest purchase intensions and brand

loyalty are likely to be exhibited. (i.e.) the same behavior is likely to be exhibited in a similar purchasing situation, thus as long as a positive reinforcement takes place the consumer will tend to continue to purchase the same brand. Major attributes of customer satisfaction can be summarized as: Product Quality Product Packaging Keeping delivery commitments Price Responsiveness and ability to resolve complaints and reject reports Overall communication, accessibility and attitude Customer satisfaction being the target of any company is essential for the long run of the company. Satisfaction is persons feeling of pleasure resulting from comparing products perceived performance in relation to their exception. Customer is people who buy goods or hire service for consideration paid or promised

What is a customer?

A customer is the most important person in any business acting. A customer is not dependent on us, we are dependent on him. A customer is not an interruption of our work. He is purpose of it. We are not doing him a favor by serving him. He is doing us a favor by giving us an opportunity to do so. A customer is not someone to argue with. Nobody ever won argument with a customer. A customer is a person who brings his wants. It is our job to handle. ATTRACTING CUSTOMERS: Today customers are harder to please. They are smarter, more price conscious, more demanding, less forgiving and they are approached by many competitors with equal or better offers. The challenge is to produce delighted and loyal customers.

BENEFITS OF CUSTOMER SATISFACTION: Although every company wants to provide a service that satisfies that customers, this isnt the only goal. Companies cant lose sight of other basic business goals such as achieving a competitive advantage or making a profit. Higher level of customer satisfaction leads to greater customer loyalty. It is more profitable to keep good customers than to constantly attract and develop new customers to replace the one who leave. Highly satisfaction is an insurance policy against something going wrong. Completely satisfied customers believe that a company thoroughly understands and addresses their own personal preference, need, expectation and problems. Companies must continually listen to customers and find new ways to delight them.

DELIVERING HIGH CUSTOMER VALUE: The key to generating high customer loyalty is to deliver high customer value. According to Michael lanning, in his delivering profitable value, a company must design a

competitively superior value proposition aimed at a specific market segment, backed by a superior value-delivery system.

Customer Satisfaction in 7 Steps:

It's a well known fact that no business can exist without customers. In the business of Website design, it's important to work closely with your customers to make sure the site or system you create for them is as close to their requirements as you can manage. Because it's critical that you form a close working relationship with your client, customer service is of vital importance. What follows are a selection of tips that will make your clients feel valued, wanted and loved. 1. Encourage Face-to-Face Dealings: This is the most daunting and downright scary part of interacting with a customer. If you're not used to this sort of thing it can be a pretty nerve-wracking experience. Rest assured, though, it does get easier over time. It's important to meet your customers face to face at least once or even twice during the course of a project. My experience has shown that a client finds it easier to relate to and work with someone they've actually met in person, rather than a voice on the phone or someone typing into an email or messenger program. When you do meet them, be calm, confident and above all, take time to ask them what they need. I believe that if a potential client spends over half the meeting doing the talking, you're well on your way to a sale. 2. Respond to Messages Promptly & Keep Your Clients Informed: This goes without saying really. We all know how annoying it is to wait days for a response to an email or phone call. It might not always be practical to deal with all customers' queries

within the space of a few hours, but at least email or call them back and let them know you've received their message and you'll contact them about it as soon as possible. Even if you're not able to solve a problem right away, let the customer know you're working on it. A good example of this is my Web host. They've had some trouble with server hardware which has caused a fair bit of downtime lately. At every step along the way I was emailed and told exactly what was going on, why things were going wrong, and how long it would be before they were working again. They also apologised repeatedly, which was nice. Now if they server had just gone down with no explanation I think I'd have been pretty annoyed and may have moved my business elsewhere. But because they took time to keep me informed, it didn't seem so bad, and I at least knew they were doing something about the problems. That to me is a prime example of customer service. 3. Be Friendly and Approachable: A fellow SitePointer once told me that you can hear a smile through the phone. This is very true. It's very important to be friendly, courteous and to make your clients feel like you're their friend and you're there to help them out. There will be times when you want to beat your clients over the head repeatedly with a blunt object - it happens to all of us. It's vital that you keep a clear head, respond to your clients' wishes as best you can, and at all times remain polite and courteous. 4. Have a Clearly-Defined Customer Service Policy: This may not be too important when you're just starting out, but a clearly defined customer service policy is going to save you a lot of time and effort in the long run. If a customer has a

problem, what should they do? If the first option doesn't work, then what? Should they contact different people for billing and technical enquiries? If they're not satisfied with any aspect of your customer service, who should they tell? There's nothing more annoying for a client than being passed from person to person, or not knowing who to turn to. Making sure they know exactly what to do at each stage of their enquiry should be of utmost importance. So make sure your customer service policy is present on your site -- and anywhere else it may be useful. 5. Attention to Detail (also known as 'The Little Niceties'): Have you ever received a Happy Birthday email or card from a company you were a client of? Have you ever had a personalised sign-up confirmation email for a service that you could tell was typed from scratch? These little niceties can be time consuming and aren't always cost effective, but remember to do them. Even if it's as small as sending a Happy Holidays email to all your customers, it's something. It shows you care; it shows there are real people on the other end of that screen or telephone; and most importantly, it makes the customer feel welcomed, wanted and valued. 6. Anticipate Your Client's Needs & Go Out Of Your Way to Help Them Out: Sometimes this is easier said than done! However, achieving this supreme level of understanding with your clients will do wonders for your working relationship.

Take this as an example: you're working on the front-end for your client's exciting new ecommerce endeavour. You have all the images, originals and files backed up on your desktop computer and the site is going really well. During a meeting with your client he/she happens to mention a hard-copy brochure their internal marketing people are developing. As if by magic, a couple of weeks later a CD-ROM arrives on their doorstep complete with high resolution versions of all the images you've used on the site. A note accompanies it which reads: "Hi, you mentioned a hard-copy brochure you were working on and I wanted to provide you with large-scale copies of the graphics I've used on the site. Hopefully you'll be able to make use of some in your brochure." Your client is heartily impressed, and remarks to his colleagues and friends how very helpful and considerate his Web designers are. Meanwhile, in your office, you lay back in your chair drinking your 7th cup of coffee that morning, safe in the knowledge this happy customer will send several referrals your way. 7. Honour Your Promises: It's possible this is the most important point in this article. The simple message: when you promise something, deliver. The most common example here is project delivery dates. Clients don't like to be disappointed. Sometimes, something may not get done, or you might miss a deadline through no fault of your own. Projects can be late, technology can fail and sub-contractors don't always deliver on time. In this case a quick apology and assurance it'll be ready ASAP wouldn't go amiss.
