Services will dominate our GNP in the new millennium, and in the service economy the customer is king. Brands will continue to be important, but the most important challenge facing businesses will be the succesful cultivation of profitable customer relationships. Now the authors, all customer service experts, introduce a radical model: the Customer Equity Framework, which changes a firm's old internal focus on price, promotion, product, and distribution to a new external focus on measuring, managing, and building Customer Equity. The drivers of Customer Equity include Value Equity, the customer's objective evaluation of the firm's products and service; Brand Equity, the customer's subjective product assessment; and Retention Equity, the customer's opinion of his or her relationship with the firm. The authors show how to measure each element, then reveal actions every firm can take to strengthen the performance of these key drivers. Providing concrete tools like a Customer Pyramid, DRIVING CUSTOMER EQUITY will revolutionise the way companies look at customers. With important information for Internet marketers - and insights into how important customer loyalty will be to Internet business success.

In their efforts to become more customer-focused, companies everywhere find themselves entangled in outmoded systems, metrics, and strategies rooted in their product-centered view of the world. Now, to ease this shift to a customer focus, marketing strategy experts Roland T. Rust, Valarie A. Zeithaml, and Katherine N. Lemon have created a dynamic new model they call "Customer Equity," a strategic framework designed to maximize every firm''s most important asset, the total lifetime value of its customer base. The authors'' Customer Equity Framework yields powerful insights that will help any business increase the value of its customer base. Rust, Zeithaml, and Lemon introduce the three drivers of customer equity -- Value Equity, Brand Equity, and Retention Equity -- and explain in clear, nontechnical language how managers can base their strategies on one or a combination of these drivers. The authors demonstrate in this breakthrough book how managers can build and employ competitive metrics that reveal their company''s Customer Equity relative to their competitors. Based on these metrics, they show how managers can determine which drivers are most important in their industry, how they can make efficient strategic trade-offs between expenditures on these drivers, and how to project a financial return from these expenditures. The final section devotes two chapters to the Customer Pyramid, an approach that segments customers based on their long-term profitability, and an especially important chapter examines the Internet as the ultimate Customer Equity tool. Here the authors show how companies such as Intuit.com, Schwab.com, and Priceline.com have used more than one or all three drivers to increase Customer Equity. In this age of one-to-one marketing, understanding how to drive Customer Equity is central to the success of any firm. In particular, Driving Customer Equity will be essential reading for any marketing manager and, for that matter, any manager concerned with growing the value of the firm''s customer base.
