Pendahuluan
Persaingan yang semakin ketat dan semakin berkembangnya ekspektasi pelanggan mendorong perusahaan untuk lebih memfokuskan pada upaya untuk mempertahankan pelanggan yang ada. Mempertahankan pasar yang ada melalui pengembangan loyalitas pelanggan merupakan tujuan strategik perusahaan untuk mempertahankan bisnis dan profit mereka (Aminee, 1998). Dalam jangka panjang, loyalitas pelanggan merupakan basis penting bagi pengembangan sustainable competitive advantage (keunggulan bersaing yang berkelanjutan), yaitu keunggulan yang dapat direalisasikan melalui upaya-upaya pemasaran (Dick dan Basu, 1994).
Istilah loyalitas pelanggan menunjukkan pada kesetiaan pelanggan pada objek tertentu, seperti merek, produk, jasa, atau toko. Pada umumnya merek seringkali dijadikan sebagai objek loyalitas pelanggan. Loyalitas merek (brand loyalty) mencerminkan loyalitas pelanggan pada merek tertentu. Dalam artikel ini, istilah loyalitas pelanggan maupun loyalitas merek menunjukkan pada pemahaman yang sama, dan penggunaannya dapat diutarakan secara silih berganti.
Konsep loyalitas pelanggan telah memberikan banyak perhatian dalam literatur pemasaran dan perilaku konsumen. Loyalitas pelanggan memberikan dampak yang signifikan bagi profitabilitas perusahaan. Pelanggan yang loyal kemungkinan akan menunjukkan sikap dan perilaku positif, seperti pembelian ulang merek yang sama dan rekomendasi positif yang dapat mempengaruhi pelanggan . . . . .  (baca_selengkapnya)

by : Stephen L. Sondoh Jr, et all

ABSTRACT

Five brand image benefits consisting of functional, social, symbolic, experiential and appearance enhances were investigated. A survey carried out on 97 females showed that functional and appearance enhances significantly affect loyalty intention. Four of brand image benefits: functional, social, experiential, and appearance enhances are positively related to overall satisfaction. The results also indicated that overall satisfaction does influence customers' loyalty. The results imply that marketers should focus on brand image benefits in their effort to achieve customer loyalty.
Keywords: brand image, satisfaction, loyalty, brand strategy, color cosmetic product

INTRODUCTION
Customer satisfaction has been widely accepted as an important issue for many marketing managers. It is commonly used as a marketing benchmark of a company's performance (Bennett & Rundle -Thiele, 2004). Furthermore, it is generally believed that a satisfied customer is more likely to display loyalty behavior, i.e. repeat purchase and willingness to give positive word of mouth (Taylor, 1998; Bennett & Rundle -Thiele, 2004; Schultz, 2005). Although this is the case, Taylor (1998) stated that "companies began to notice that they often were losing customers despite high satisfaction" (p. 41).
Reichheld (1994) argued that satisfied customers are not necessary loyal. Evidently, Reichheld and Markey (2000) noted that those customers said to be satisfied or very satisfied on the survey, showed that between 60 and 80% will defect in most businesses. The criticisms of relying solely on consumer satisfaction survey (Jones & Sasser, 1995; Reichheld, 1994) have deliberately called for a paradigm shift from emphasis on satisfaction to the pursuit of loyalty as a strategic business goal (Oliver, 1999). Oliver (1999) noted the shift "appeared to be a worthwhile change in strategy for most firms because business understood the profit of having a loyal customer base" (p. 33). Therefore, it was suggested that those who are measuring customer satisfaction should not stop there (Reichheld, 1994). The shift to measure loyalty is based on a desire to better understand retention, a component of loyalty which had a direct link to a company's profit (Taylor, 1998).
This problem is further aggravated by the increasing number of superior alternatives in the market. Much of the competing product has a similar standard in terms of product quality, price, performance . . . . . . . . (Read_More)

Pendahuluan
- - - - - Lebih lanjut, menurut Keller (2003, p.75) salah satu dari empat langkah yang bisa digunakan untuk membangun sebuah merek yaitu menciptakan kesesuaian brand image yang ditangkap oleh konsumen dengan brand identity dari produk yang dibangun atau diciptakan oleh produsen. Apabila ingin berhasil dalam persaingan, perusahaan harus berupaya untuk membangun persepsi mengenai produk dan jasa mereka sedemikian rupa dengan menyamakan antara brand identity dengan brand image, sehingga ketika menyebut sebuah kategori produk, dengan sendirinya yang muncul di dalam ingatan atau benak konsumen adalah merek . . . . . . .

RELATIONSHIP MARKETING STRATEGIES FOR DOMINANT BRANDS

By : James E. Coleman & Donna T. Mayo
Published : Innovative Marketing, Volume 3, Issue 2, 2007

Abstract
One of the benefits of being the first firm to market is the opportunity to establish a dominant position that allows the producer to earn above average profits by extracting concessions from downstream channel members eager to add the popular new product to their offering. Unfortunately, this approach not only attracts competitors, but also provides them a mechanism for attack. Absent a positive relationship among channel members, retailers and distributors may decide to shift emphasis to competing lines to reduce their dependence on the dominant brand. This study quantifies the potential loss of market share that may result from poor relationship quality. The attitudes of retailers are examined to determine the extent to which their perceptions of positive/negative supplier relationships affect key marketing actions. Outcomes measured in this research include the retailer’s desired share of purchases for a brand and the percent of occasions the retailer recommends the producer's brand to end consumers. The brands’ relative profitability as well as the brands’ performance level on expected marketing variables are taken into consideration.
Key words: Relationship Quality, Dependence, Supplier, Buyer.
