This book was released on 2022-04-07 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 2,2, University of Applied Sciences Essen (FOM Hannover), language: English, abstract: This thesis firstly covers definitions of customer loyalty, loyalty cards and the different types of loyalty programs. Section two deals with some important details of Lufthansa’s Miles & More program, such as the background of Miles & More, important facts about Star Alliance, the possibilities that Lufthansa offers its frequent flyers to earn and spend reward miles, information about the different status levels of Miles & More, and basic knowledge about data protection with Miles & More. In addition to the established research, an empirical study in the form of a 15-question survey was performed on several platforms to which frequent flyers have access. This survey is discussed in the third section of this thesis. To obtain information about how frequent flyers value the Miles & More program, this first-hand information was required and used to evaluate the Miles & More program. The performed survey can be found in Appendix 1, page 51 ff., and the results of the survey can be found in Appendix 2, page 58 ff. The survey consisted of four parts: the first part contained information about the topic itself and data protection. The second part compromised four questions about the flying pattern of each participant, and the frequent flyer status that each participant had with Miles & More. The third and most extensive part of the survey dealt with the number of miles that each participant owned, the benefits for frequent flyers with Miles & More, and the satisfaction of the participants with the program. The last part contained questions for statistical reasons, such as the gender and age of the participants. The fourth section of this thesis further addresses the results of the survey and provides explanations for why the most important benefit of Lufthansa’s Miles & More program is so significant for customers. The fifth section deals with improvements to make the Miles & More program much more appealing to customers, regarding frequent flyer satisfaction, the earning and spending of frequent flyer miles, and the addition to the program of new benefits for frequent flyers. This thesis concludes the topic in the sixth section.

Download or read book Total Relationship Marketing written by Evert Gummesson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-01-05 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This third edition of Total Relationship Marketing confirms it as a classic text on the subject of relationship marketing and CRM, areas which have become accepted – and debated – parts of marketing but are currently undergoing dramatic change. A major contribution to marketing thought internationally, this seminal title presents a powerful in-depth analysis of relational approaches to marketing where the three words relationships, networks and interaction are king. The book effects a dramatic shift in the fundamentals of marketing thought, with the author’s refined model of thirty relationships, the 30Rs, presenting a sophisticated and cogent challenge to the traditional 4Ps schema. Previous editions were widely praised as breakthrough texts in the field, combining incisive and searching analysis with an accessible and pragmatic approach to putting the theory to work. This third edition is the first book on relationship marketing and CRM to integrate the ongoing evolution in marketing through the service-dominant logic, lean consumption and the customer’s value chain, the augmented role of the customer in value creation, the increasing importance of customer-to-customer (C2C) interaction, network-based many-to-many marketing, and marketing accountability and metrics. It addresses both the high tech, information technology aspects of marketing and the high touch, human aspects. Further, customer-centricity is suggested to be broadened to balanced centricity, a trade-off between the needs of all stakeholders of a network of relationships. Examples, cases, concepts and references have been updated. Highly informative, practical in style and packed with illustrations from real companies, Total Relationship Marketing is an essential resource for all serious marketing practitioners as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students.
