Conclusion
Customer Relationships —Conclusion The customer relationship stages are:
1. Awareness — The customer recognizes that the firm is a possible exchange partner, but has not initiated any communication with the firm or purchased its products
2. Exploration — The customer considers the possibility of exchange, gathers information and perhaps initiates trial purchases
3. Commitment — The parties in a relationship feel a sense of obligation or responsibility toward each other
4. Dissolution — This stage signals the separation of buyer and seller — the loss of connection
The Internet allows firms to interact and to individualize in powerful ways. As a result, firm-customer relationships can be formed and can progress very quickly
Firms don’t always want a relationship with all customers . . . and vice versa
