The Effect Of Postpurchase Communication On Customer Satisfaction, Robert Ward, Darach Turley Jan 1996

The Effect Of Postpurchase Communication On Customer Satisfaction, Robert Ward, Darach Turley

Articles

To most practitioners, effective marketing has invariably meant "looking after the customer". However, attention is being increasingly directed at the preposition in this expression. " Looking after the customer " is more than ever a matter of "looking to the customer afterwards". Customer aftercare can take many forms, from courtesy phone calls to special client get-togethers. It seems reasonable to suppose that each form may have a characteristic impact on customer satisfaction. This article examines one particular form of consumer aftercare, postpurchase written communications. It investigates whether letters sent by a PC retailer to a sample of recent purchases increased …

The Senior Market: Opportunity Or Oxymoron?, Darach Turley Jan 1994

The Senior Market: Opportunity Or Oxymoron?, Darach Turley

Articles

The “senior market” – males and females of 65 and over – is of enormous size and growth potential worldwide and commands sizeable financial resources. Yet stereotypical thinking abounds when it comes to this senior market: over 65s are too “rigid” to innovate; they lack spending power; it is inappropriate to segment this apparently homogeneous market. However, recent research is indicating that the opposite is in fact the case. Despite this evidence, few firms appear to operate the marketing concept in a comprehensive fashion for older consumers; their response is at best lacklustre, at worst denigratory. This article attempts to …
