Loyalty?
Oliver 1999
Whence Consumer Loyalty?
------------------------------------

Loyalty ≠ satisfaction; but the concepts are
strongly linked



Satisfaction: pleasurable fulfillment
Loyalty: A deeply held commitment to rebuy a
preferred product or brand consistently in the
future.
Ultimate loyalty as an enhanced form of loyalty

Whence Consumer Loyalty?
-------------------------------------

Loyalty Phases and Obstacles to Loyalty
Cognitive
loyalty
Affective
loyalty
Conative
loyalty
Action loyalty

• Create dissatisfaction
on different levels of
vulnerability
• Switching incentives:
Price
reductions, coupons, disc
ounts, induced
unavailability

• Variety-seeking
consumers
Oliver 1999
Whence Consumer Loyalty?
-------------------------------------

The four loyalty strategies

•

Product superiority as the weakest form of loyalty

•

Determined self-isolation: The consumer s desire to rebuy a brand can be
based on determined self-isolation; comparable to the concept of love.

•

Village envelopment: The consumer is a passive acceptor of the brand
environment within a social alliance that shelters from outside influences.

•

Immersed self-identity: This form represents a form of ultimate loyalty as
the consumer found a “natural match” with the brand and its environment.

Oliver 1999
Whence Consumer Loyalty?
-------------------------------------

Considering Oliver s theory that some firms will
struggle achieving true loyalty among consumers
and should thus focus on achieving satisfaction
only, what indicators do you think determine if a
firm/brand should create a loyalty program?

FINDINGS
QUESTION
Group A2

Some consumers are multiloyal to several brands
and some enjoy seeking diffrent alternatives.
How should companies that aim to have a high
level of costumer loyalty deal with this?

(Think about the articles!)
QUESTION
Group A4

Fournier (1998) states that « Consumers do not
choose brands, they choose lives », this indicates
that brands define people and the self-identity
they pursue. Do you believe this is applicable to
all types of products and services?
In which cases is this not applicable?
QUESTION
Group A3

Have loyalty programs become a hygien factor as
Oliver (1999) was touching upon, and if this is the
case:
How should companies diffrentiate themselves
through loyalty/relations?
THANKS.
AND GOOD WORK
