| loyalty ladder theory: The Science and Art of Branding Giep Franzen, Sandra E. Moriarty, 2015-02-12 This innovative work provides a state-of-the-art overview of current thinking about the development of brand strategy. Unlike other books on branding, it approaches successful brand strategy from both the producer and consumer perspectives. The Science and Art of Branding makes clear distinctions among the producer's intentions, external brand realities, and consumer's brand perceptions - and explains how to fit them all together to build successful brands. Co-author Sandra Moriarty is also the author of the leading Principles of Advertising textbook, and she and Giep Franzen have filled this volume with practical learning tools for scholars and students of marketing and marketing communications, as well as actual brand managers. The book explains theoretical concepts and illustrates them with real-life examples that include case studies and findings from large-scale market research. Every chapter opens with a mini-case history, and boxed inserts featuring quotes from experts appear throughout the book. The Science and Art of Branding also goes much more deeply than other works into the core concept of brand equity, employing new measurement systems only developed over the last few years. |

| loyalty ladder theory: New Developments in the Theory of Networks Mika Tuunanen, Josef Windsperger, Gérard Cliquet, George Hendrikse, 2011-01-12 The theory of networks aims at developing theoretical views on the design and management of alliances, franchise chains, licensing, joint ventures, cooperatives, and venture capital relations. The current trend in economics and management of networks is twofold: First there is a strong tendency toward application of theoretical approaches developed both in organizational economics, strategic management and organization theory. The second trend refers to the development of more integrative views on networks. Especially, combining organizational economics, strategic management and relational views on networks are very promising research directions. Starting from this status of research, the current book emphasizes network research as a theory-driven field by offering new perspectives on contract design, decision and ownership rights, value creation, knowledge management and the role of social capital in franchising networks, alliances and cooperatives. |

| loyalty ladder theory: Tourism Quality Management Magdalena Kachniewska, 2017 Tourism Quality Management handbook contains some basic issues connected with the problem of quality management both in the tourism enterprise and tourism destination area (TDA). Quality in tourism is measured by the quality of tourism experience. In other words, it is nothing else but the quality of life during the person's temporary stay outside his/her permanent residence. What is also true is that tourism, especially leisure or holiday tourism, carries the expectation of a higher quality of life than experienced at home. It seems to be the most important reason for quality management in tourism organizations and TDA. |

| loyalty ladder theory: Brand Intimacy Mario Natarelli, Rina Plapler, 2017-10-23 From Patagonia to Apple, Whole Foods to New Balance, we love our favorite products--and, by extension, the companies that provide them. The emotional connections we form with our beloved brands and services are important relationships--relationships that are potentially worth billions. In the fast-paced, constantly-changing world of the modern marketplace, brands must adapt or perish—strategies, methods, and techniques must evolve to remain effective and relevant. Are you using yesterday’s thinking for tomorrow’s challenges? Brand Intimacy details ways to build better marketing through the cultivation of emotional connections between brand and consumer. The book provides lessons for marketers and business leaders alike who are seeking to understand these ultimate brand relationships and the opportunities they represent. Divided into three sections, Brand Intimacy starts with Context and Understanding. This explains today’s marketing landscape, the effects of technology, consumer behaviors and the advancements around decision making. Through research we discovered that people form relationships with brands the same way they develop relationships with other people. This section provides guidance on how to think about complimentary concepts such as loyalty, satisfaction and brand value. We then explore and compare established approaches and methodologies and showcase why intimacy is a compelling new and enhanced opportunity to build your brand or market your business. The second section, Theory and Model reveals and dimensions the brand intimacy model and dissects it into steps to help you better factor it into your marketing approaches or frameworks. Here you will learn the core concepts and components that are essential to build bonds and the role emotion can play to help you achieve greater customer engagement. You can also review the rankings of the best brands in terms of Brand Intimacy. A summary of our annual research reveals the characteristics of best performers, the most intimate industries, and differences based on geography, age, gender and income. By examining the top intimate brands, we reveal and decode the secrets of the bonds they form with their customers. The third section is Methods & Practice, this details the economic benefits and advantages of a strategy that factors Brand Intimacy. Intimate brands are proven to outperform the Fortune 500 and Standards and Poors’ index of brands. Intimate brands create more revenue and profit and last longer. Consumers are also willing to pay more for a brand they are more intimate with. Conversely, we also explore a series of brand failures and lessons learned to help you avoid common pitfalls in brand management. We articulate the steps to build a more intimate brand as well as share a glimpse on the future where software will play a more important role in brand building. The book outlines a proprietary digital platform that we use to help manage and enable intimacy through collaboration, simulators and real-time tracking of emotions. Business and marketing owners face an increasing difficult task to build brands that rise above the clutter, engage more and grow. Brand Intimacy explains how to better measure, build and manage enduring brands. Brands that are built to inspire as well as profit. Written by experienced marketers and backed by extensive research, Brand Intimacy rewrites the rulebook on how to establish and expand your marketing. The book is equal parts theory, research and practice, the result of 7 year journey and a new marketing paradigm for the modern marketer. |

| loyalty ladder theory: From Products to Services Laurie Young, 2008-05-05 During the last thirty years, a wide range of product companies throughout the Western economies have considered moving into or setting up service businesses. Some have rejected the idea after careful consideration, some have wandered into competitive services without any real idea of what is involved and others have deliberately executed a carefully considered strategic manoeuvre. Included in this debate are some of the most famous business names in the western world: Unisys, Ericsson, Michelin, Nokia and HP. For IBM it was Lou Gerstener’s ‘big bet’; at GE it was one of former CEO Jack Welch’s ‘four major strategies’ and, at General Motors, the financial services arm was its most profitable business for many years. Yet very little has been published on this profound transition. As a result, myths and idiocies abound. Some routinely claim that the ‘evolution from products through services to solutions’ is inevitable. Others think that manufacturing is being outsourced to China and India while American or European teenagers face a career in hamburger stalls. The truth is much more fascinating. To succeed in a service business, most functions of a product company need to change. Operations, management, recruitment, finance, sales, new product development and marketing must all be adjusted. So the move into service therefore involves huge risk caused by disruptive and radical change. What has pushed realistic business people in such widely different industrial sectors to take so large a risk? Does their experience contain lessons or warnings for others? Is the trend likely to continue and affect other parts of the world as their economies develop? Will India, China or other developing economies need to learn how to export service once their manufacturing industries mature? Written by a successful businessman who has been at the heart of these changes in several companies and, with case studies from companies like IBM, Unilever, BT, Michelin, Ericsson and Nokia, this book explores the experience of those who have made the transition; and some who have resisted it. It covers in depth subjects such as: strategic focus, change management, service operations, branding a service business, service sales and service marketing. It is the first major work on this subject. This book is a ‘must read’ for those considering the plunge into service growth and innovation. Even those companies that have already taken the plunge will gain fresh perspective —Jim Spohrer, Director, IBM Almaden Research Centre, USA Laurie Young details in very practical ways the reasons and methodologies for change ... I would recommend this book to every one of my customers. —Douglas Morse, Managing Principal for the Services Transformation and Innovation Group LLC I am thrilled with the publication of this much needed book. In my work with businesses around the globe, I find that grappling with the challenge of transforming a company from products to services is a compelling priority for increasing numbers of firms. —Stephen W. Brown, PhD, Carson Chair, Professor and Executive Director, Center for Services Leadership, W. P. Carey School of Business, Arizona State University |
| loyalty ladder theory: Promoting and Marketing Events Nigel Jackson, 2013-10-28 This accessible book introduces students to the theories, concepts and skills required to promote an event successfully.

| loyalty ladder theory: Africa and Sustainable Entrepreneurship Christian Ehiobuche, Solomon Nyaanga, 2023-02-28 Is entrepreneurial and environmental sustainability the only way to safeguard Mother Earth? Professors Nyaanga and Ehiobuche present perspectives, prospects, and opportunities that African entrepreneurship offers and more effective strategies and principles to thrive. Given the distinctiveness of the African continent in terms of its economic infrastructure, political systems, extreme poverty, rapid urbanization, deforestation, environmental impact of the extractive industries, rate of economic growth, rural development, high dependence on foreign aid, low human capital, rising high youth unemployment, climatic variability, natural environmental hazards, abundant natural resources, and alluring consumer goods, most people would concur that at its heart, entrepreneurship is the identification of possibilities in the unmet, underserved, and growing needs of people through the mobilization of resources and the establishment of enterprises. Still, the nature of the activity is very context-sensitive. What functions in one setting and for one population will not necessarily function in another. The needs themselves, as well as the approaches and structures that can be produced acceptably, vary from one place and person to another. Although many business owners believe sustainability is important in their personal lives, they are persuaded that they lack the means to implement it in their fledgling business entities. This book presents baby steps and common-sense ways to see that sustainability is the most effective strategy for ensuring long-term success. |

It initiates a radical shift at the core of contemporary psychological thought by unveiling a technology for using everyday life experiences as rungs on the ladder of spiritual evolution. This book is uniquely suited for anyone seeking to discover and cross the bridge that spans the waters between life referenced in material reality and life lived within the context of spiritual reality. Loyalty to Your Soul shows you how to first gain access to, and then gradually learn to live from, that sacred place inherent within everyone referred to by the authors as the Authentic Self—a place where emotional suffering ceases and profound peace and love are present.

The radical technology they introduce empowers readers to transform challenging or negative human experiences into direct experiences of the Soul. |
