Answer 1

The idea behind relationship marketing is to create customer loyalty. You want to develop engagement and long-term relationships with your current customers.

It’s a big-picture marketing idea that focuses on customer acquisition and retention.

Customer acquisition and retention is the main driving force for business survival. The difference between the two is that; customer acquisition requires the company to spend while customer retention may not need much spending/it is less expensive.

To keep customers from going to other businesses and keep coming back to you requires the use of relationship marketing. You make sure that you are in a good relationship with your customers so that they may beome free advertising agents of your business.

You may do this by personalizing customer experience to sitmulate an emotional response in each one of them. Thus the customer would then see a personal value of your products.
