This book was released on 2012-11 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Book excerpt: Given the importance of customers' perception in telecommunication business and the recent development of cellular phone business in Malaysia, a critical research agenda have arisen that requires attention of understanding the perception of consumers towards operators and the factors those are influencing in the choice of the providers. The research has set as its objective in the discovery of the influencing factors of customers' perception in their decision-making towards purchasing mobile phone line, to determine services information for formulating customers' perception of the mobile phone operators. To accomplish the objectives this research has explained the related concepts and theories; revealed and synchronized literature on consumer behaviour and developed a research framework grounded on a strong theoretical and literature review background. The empirical study was conducted in major cities in Malaysia where the emergency is required for this type of research to understand the customers' perception of mobile phone operators. The target population of this study were general customers' (N=400) of three main operators in Malaysia form significant cities where hand phone users are proportionately significant compared with other cities in Malaysia. The survey instruments included with demographic survey, and service quality, advertising and promotion, brand image, corporate image, customer satisfaction and service provider's price with seven point rating scale. The proposed research model described the direct relationships of service quality, advertising and promotion, brand image, corporate image, customer satisfaction and service providers' price towards customers' perception. These paths were related to causal processes. Thus structural equation modeling approach is necessary to examine these variables in this research. The data analysis of this study was organized into four stages (Stage I - Descriptive Analysis; Stage II - Exploratory Factor Analysis; Stage III - Confirmatory Factor Analysis; Stage IV - Structural Equation Modeling). Data were coded and analyzed by using the Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (Statistical Package for the social Science Version 15 SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL) and AMOS7(Analysis of Moment Structure Version). The research findings are based on perceptions of customers' about mobile phone operators. The study produced mixed result from the statistical outcomes; some of these results were expected and some, although obvious were interesting. Finally, it is proposed that, brand image is considered to be significant factor that influences customers' perception towards an operator, effect of advertising and promotion on customers' perception towards an operator is significant, there is a positive relationship existed between customer satisfactions toward customers' perception towards mobile phone operators, price or call rate of an operator is considered a substantial factor that influences customers' perception towards an operator, effect of service quality on customers' perception towards an operator is significant. Interestingly the effect of corporate image is not significant with customers' perception towards an operator. The findings of this research are valuable asset for mobile phone operators in Malaysia those who are struggling to implement a successful strategy for retaining consumers.
