Delivering high customer value

Consumers have varying degrees of loyalty to specific brands, stores, and companies. Loyalty has been defined as “a deeply held commitment to rebuy or repatronize a preferred product or service in the future despite situational influences and marketing efforts having the potential
to cause switching behavior.”

The value proposition consists of the whole cluster of benefits the company promises to deliver; it is more than  the core positioning of the offering. For example, Volvo’s core positioning has been “safety,” but the buyer is promised more than just a safe car; other benefits include good performance, design, and safety for the environment. 

The value proposition is thus a promise about the experience customers can expect from the company’s market offering and their relationship with the supplier. Whether the promise is kept depends on the company’s ability to manage its value delivery system. 

The value delivery system includes all the experiences the customer will have on 
the way to obtaining and using the offering. At the heart of a good value delivery system is a set of core business 
processes that help deliver distinctive consumer value.

Netpromoter and customer satisfaction

Net Promoter Score (NPS) is a management tool used by businesses to gauge the loyalty of their customer relationships. It's based on the idea that customers can be divided into three categories: promoters, passives, and detractors.  Customers are typically asked a single question: "How likely are you to recommend our company/product/service to a friend or colleague?" They respond on a scale from 0 to 10.  - Promoters (score 9-10): Customers who are highly satisfied and likely to recommend. - Passives (score 7-8): Customers who are satisfied but not enthusiastic enough to actively promote. - Detractors (score 0-6): Customers who are dissatisfied and may spread negative word-of-mouth. The NPS is calculated by subtracting the percentage of detractors from the percentage of promoters, resulting in a score that can range from -100 to +100. A positive score indicates more promoters than detractors and suggests that a business has a strong base of loyal customers. NPS is used as...
