  • Promotion (Market Communication)
  • Crossmedia Marketing
  • Corporate Communication and Stakeholder Dialogue
  • Customer Relationship Marketing
  • Social Media

Customer Relationship Management

Introduction

“One face to the customer, one face of the customer” is a guideline, which takes us to our understanding of Customer Relationship Management. The last decade witnessed a major shift through the emergence of the social web in the behavior from companies to customers and vice versa. Not only as a matter of IT-processes and calculation, CRM should now be understood as a mutual “trust-driver”. This is pointed out in Robert Morgan’s and Shelby Hunt’s Trust-Commitment-Theory of Relationship Marketing: “The efficiency, adjustment, and even survival of any social group depends upon the presence or absence of such trust.” (Morgan/Hunt, 1994) Especially as we are facing the so called Social Media Revolution, companies have to focus on the new possibilities of how to improve their customer relationship. Besides the matters of trust and commitment, the main strategic, analytical and operative factors of CRM are still valid, of course.

However, what does communication mean? Communication can be described as the process of transferring information through a message from one entity to another.

In terms of the Corporate Identity Concept, communication includes all communication activities, which intend to transfer the self-perception of a company to an external image.

The main goal is to provide information about the company and its products, causing purchasing decisions in the mind of the potential buyers.
