Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
• Focuses on using information about customers to create marketing strategies that develop and sustain desirable long-term relationships– A focus on CRM is possible in e-marketing
because of marketers’ ability to target individual customers.
– The ability to identify individual customers allows marketers to shift their focus from increasing share of market to increasing share of customer.
– CRM is often based on the use of information technology.

The 80/20 Rule
• 80 percent of business profits come from 20 percent of customers.– Technology allows marketers to profile
customers in real-time and assess their lifetime value (LTV) to the firm.
– Some customers may be too expensive to retain given the low level of profits they generate.
– Firms should focus on developing and managing long-term relationships with more profitable customers.

service– Captures information about all interactions
• Sales automation– Links sales force to applications that facilitate
selling and providing service– Provides information to determine the best
solution for customers– Determines order status, tracks deliveries, and
identifies service problems

reduction tactic– Should not be overwhelmed by gathering

term relationships
