REVIEW OF LITERATURE
REFERENCES: Different News Articles From the google
(Rosenberg & Czepiel 2017) Customer satisfaction is vital for modern day business for
two main reasons. First, customers are scarce resource it is far easier to obtain from an
old customer than from a new one. Second, customer loyalty and satisfaction has a
positive effect on the profitability revenues of the company.
Hill and Alexander (2000) wrote in their book that “ companies now have big investment
in the database marketing, relationship management and customer planning to move
closer to their customers satisfaction ”.
Jones and sasser (1995) wrote that “ achieving Customer satisfaction is the main goal
for most Service firms Today”. Increasing customer satisfaction has been shown to Directly
affected companies, Market share, which leads to improved profits, positive
recommendation, lower marketing expenditure ( Reichheld, 1996; Heskett at 1997), and
greatly impact the corporate image and survival ( Pizam and Ellis,1999).
Customer satisfaction has been one of the top tools for a successful business. Customer
satisfaction is defined as an overall evaluation based on the total purchase and
consumption experience with the good or service over time (Fornell, Johnson,
Anderson, Cha & Bryant 1996).
With marketing, customer satisfaction also comes along with it which means it ascertains
the expectation of the customer on how the goods and services are being facilitated by the
companies. Actionable information on how to make customers further satisfied is
therefore, a crucial outcome (Oliver 1999).
However, the product and its features, functions, reliability, sales activity and customer
support are the most important topics required to meet or exceed the satisfaction of the
customers. Satisfied customers usually rebound and buy more. Besides buying more they
15
also work as a network to reach other potential customers by sharing experiences (Hague
& Hague 2016) The value of keeping a customer is only one- tenth of winning a new one.
Therefore, when the organization wins a customer it should continue to build up a good 6
relationship with the client. Providing the quality of goods and services in the 20th century
is not only to satisfy the customers but also to have a safe position. Indeed, this has
benefited the customers significantly on consuming qualitative products (Rebekah &
Sharyn 2004)
Increased customer satisfaction can provide company benefits like customer loyalty,
extending the life cycle of a customer expanding the life of merchandise the customer
purchase and increases customers positive word of mouth communication. When the
customer is satisfied with the product or service of the company, it can make the customer
to purchase frequently and to recommend products or services to potential customers. It is
impossible for a business organization to grow up in case the company ignores or
disregards the needs of customers (Tao 2014).
Debnath (2008) thus study explain that the prime Focus of the Service providers is to
create a loyal customer base by bench marketing their performance and retaining existing
customers in order to benefit from their loyalty. With the commencement of the economic
Liberalization in 1991, and with a view to expand and improve Telecom infrastructure
through the participation of the private sector, the government of India permitted foreign
companies holding 51 percent equity stake in joint ventures to manufacture Telecom
equipment in India. The Indian Government has announced a new policy, which allows
private firms to provide basic telephone services. There has been a monopoly of the state-
owned department of Telecommunications.
Kalavani (2006) in Their study analyzed that major of the Respondents have given
favourable opinion towards the services but some problems exists that deserves the
attention of the Service providers. They need to bridge the gap between the Services
promised and services offered.
16
Kalpana and chinnadurai(2006) in their study titled” promotional strategies of cellular
service: A Customer perspective” analyzed that the increasing competition and changing
taste and preferences of the Customer’s all over the world are forcing companies to
change their targeting strategies. The study revealed the Customer attitude and their
satisfaction towards the cellular service in Coimbatore city. It was found that advertisement
Play a dominant role in influencing the Customers but most of the customers are of
opinion that promotional strategies of cellular companies are more sale oriented rather
than customer oriented Chris (2003).

months).16% have been with Airtel for more than 5 years.
