What are the new service realities?
DESIGNING & MANAGING SERVICES
Service firms once lagged behind manufacturers in their use of marketing, because !
1) They were small; or 2) They were professional businesses that didn’t use marketing; or 3) They faced large demand or little competition.
But today, some
of the most
skilled marketers
are service firms
Savvy services marketers are recognising the new services realities such as: the importance of the newly empowered customer, customer coproduction, and the need to engage employees as well as customers.
Customer Empowerment
Today’s customers are smarter. !They may demand separate service element and the right to select the elements they want. !Internet has also empowered them to broadcast their views about a bad service.
Customer Coproduction
Customers play an active role in the
delivery of a service. !
Shift is growing towards self-service
technologies, but this can increase
customer dissatisfaction
arising out of their own faults.
Satisfying Employees as well as Customers
Positive employees promote stronger customer loyalty. Strong customer orientation in employees increases
their job satisfaction and commitment.
