ABSTRACT
Relationship Marketing (RM) is a popular concept in current
marketing research and practice. Relationship Marketing has the potential to
increase customer retention by building long-term customer relationships.
Relationship Marketing can increase marketing effectiveness and efficiency by
reducing marketing costs, facilitating the targeting of high-profit customers,
reducing price sensitivity, (Tynan, 2010). Since relationships marketing can
become an important source of competitive advantage, a marketing paradigm shift
from transactional to relationship marketing has been proposed (Buttle, 2013).
Relationship Marketing was initially conceived as an approach in the business to-business
environment. The adoption of the R.M concept to consumer research is relatively
new and has gone through stages from obscurity, discovery, acceptance, to
popularity (Malley and Tynan, 2010).
