Book excerpt: With the increasing competition on the market, customer loyalty has become a decisive factor for long-term business profits. At its high, customer loyalty connotes the high entry barriers the competitor faces when entering the market, and it contributes significantly to a reduction of marketing costs. To attract new customers, companies are required to invest a lot of time and money which can result in uncertainties and risks over longer periods of time. The number of loyal customers as a sign of market share is more significant than the total number of customers. More loyal customers translate to high profits. Loyal customers will continue to purchase or receive the product or service from the same enterprises, and they will be willing to pay higher prices for the quality products and first-class services, thereby increasing sales revenue. Consequently, the focus of many enterprise managers at this point is on marketing management aspects to improve customer loyalty in order to gain the competitive advantage in the face of fierce competition. The importance of customer loyalty has been identified by many researchers and academics in the past years. This importance is also predominant in the telecommunication industry and, consequently, the Nigerian telecom industry. This book attempts to assess and analyze the variables that influence a mobile phone subscriber?s loyalty and how Nigerian service providers can enhance this loyalty. The study is based on a survey that uses the quantitative approach. A structured questionnaire was developed and personally administered to a sample of University of Ilorin students across four major GSM operators in the country. Four hundred (400) respondents were sampled through a stratified random sampling. Out of this, three hundred and forty-eight (348) copies of the questionnaire, constituting an 87% response rate, could be used for the analysis. Of the eleven (11) operational factors that were used to assess loyalty of customers in the Nigeria Mobile Telecoms industry, all variables except Brand Image and Service Centre Quality were found to be capable of influencing customer loyalty and also considered as the most important loyalty variables in the industry. The unavailability of Mobile Number Portability was found to be a prominent factor in tying consumers down to service providers, while the generally low satisfaction with the present state of service delivery in the industry also plays a role. Therefore, the retention which the service providers were able to enjoy can be described as circumstantial. The given recommendations include that the service providers embark upon drives that will reduce dropped calls to a bare minimum, that they improve call quality, and that they develop SMS delivery standards.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2011 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, , course: Management/Business Studies, language: English, abstract: The Indian cellular services market is growing at a rapid pace and the competition has also increased many folds. It has become imperative for the service providers to adopt such technologies and strategies which ensure their success in such a dynamic situation. As a result, the service providers are trying to develop an understanding about the customers in terms of enriching their experience by providing quality services resulting into a higher satisfaction and ultimately loyalty. With constantly decreasing Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) per month in a low tariff regime, the cellular operators in India are looking towards value added offerings for their customers in order to increase their ARPUs and survive in the coming tough times as they are unable to rely solely on the conventional voice services. The fact that the majority of cell-phone users are prepaid customers indicates towards a tendency for higher customer churn rate and thin profit margins to the mobile service providers despite a phenomenal increase in subscriber base. However, the situation has further been complicated with the instigation of mobile number portability, as it is going to enhance the customer churn rate due to the intense competition being faced by the operators in this market on the one hand and on the other very demanding customers. In such a scenario, the challenge for Indian cellular operators is to understand the preferences of their customers better and then to successfully offer the services that foster greater customer retention, as the entry of new global players in telecom market has further resulted in mounting customer acquisition and retention costs. Thus, all these facts highlight the relevance of value added services in an ever growing telecom market as a key strategic tool, not only for differentiation of services but also as a factor responsible for developing satisfaction and loyalty among the customers. Therefore, the present research study attempts to study the effects of Value Added Services (VAS) on Service Quality vis-à-vis Customer Satisfaction and Customer Loyalty in wireless telecommunication market. The findings of the present study convey that the service providers must concentrate their efforts not only on improving the core services but also the quality of Value Added Service (VAS) offered, as they have a potential to act as a strategic tool in order to enhance the customers’ satisfaction which will ultimately result in higher customer loyalty.

Download or read book The Effect of Multiple Re Branding on Customer Loyalty in Mobile Telephony written by Alexander Tevi and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: Econet Wireless, a Nigerian mobile telephone network rebranded five times within the space of eight years to become what it is today, Airtel Nigeria. This research sought to know the impact of multiple rebranding on the loyalty of the network's subscribers and the general attitude of the Nigerian towards branding in the telephony business. Approach: A survey was carried out on subscriber attitude towards Airtel as a result of the multiple rebranding through which it emerged. Questionnaires were distributed based on cluster sampling. Pearson Chi-Square was used to test the validity of the final results (cross tabulations) on a value of 0.05 and above. Findings: This research confirms communication as the vehicle for transferring brand equity; shows that multiple rebranding does not significantly affect attitude towards telecommunications brands; and that Nigerians do not really care about branding in telecommunications and/or the telecommunications companies are not doing a good job of branding. Limitations: This study focuses on only a segment of the gsm market - students of a higher institution. The perspective of the students may not be representative of the whole gsm market in Lagos. It is also limited to the telephony market in Nigeria, an emerging market. Originality/Value: This is an original work in the sense that there is no literature anywhere on the phenomenon of multiple rebranding, let alone its effect on customer loyalty.

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled Customer Loyalty in Hong Kong's Cellular Market: An Integrated Framework and Empirical Study Submitted by Wan Ching Gee for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong in April 2003 In the highly competitive mobile communications market of Hong Kong, customer loyalty has become the top priority for companies that wish to maintain market share and profitability. This paper aims to identify the potential determinants of customer loyalty in the mobile telecommunications industry. Based on the research literature on customer satisfaction, switching costs and service loyalty, an integrated framework which encompasses the constructs of overall satisfaction, relative satisfaction, price, switching costs as well as demographics and usage variables is developed. With the use of survey research method, an empirical study has been carried out in the mobile communications market of Hong Kong to examine the usefulness and the predictive ability of the framework. The research results support the framework posited in this paper and contribute to the understanding of customer loyalty in several ways. First of all, this study not only confirms previous research findings on positive satisfaction-loyalty linkage, but also complements previous research by providing a more comprehensive view on the relationship between satisfaction and switching intention. This research has found that the satisfaction-retention relationship is positive but asymmetrical, and the intensity of customer satisfaction has an impact on the satisfaction-retention linkage. Second, the statistical significance of the new construct of relative satisfaction is confirmed by the empirical results of the study, and its inclusion is hence justified. It is found that satisfaction towards a current operator relative to previous operator(s) that have been used significantly impacts on loyalty towards the current operator. Customers who are less satisfied with the present operator are less loyal than those who are equally satisfied or more satisfied with the current operator. Furthermore, empirical results from this study reveal that customers were more loyal if they considered the price they were paying for the mobile services was equitable. Sensitivity to price differential, defined as the percentage of price difference offered by another operator that will induce the customer to switch is also positively, though less strongly, correlated with switching intention. Regarding the impact of switching costs on the intention to switch, the presence of high switching costs deter customers from switching and its impact is more pronounced among dissatisfied customers. Last but not least, age and usage characteristics including the monthly minutes of use, the number of years using mobile phones and staying with the current network operator have significant impact on switching intention. The research findings not only enrich our understanding of customer loyalty in the cellular market, but also generate useful managerial implications for the practitioners in the industry on churn management and retention strategies. An evaluation of the existing loyalty programs is made, it suggests that network operators should make use of innovative value-added services, handset trade-in programs and group calling plans to enhance c
