Customer Relationship Groups

Companies can classify customers into 4 groups according to their potential profitability and manage their relationships with them accordingly: strangers, butterflies, barnacles and true friends. Each group requires a different relationship management strategy.

The marketing mix and the 4Ps of marketing are often used as synonyms for each other. In fact, they are not necessarily the same thing. "Marketing mix" is a general phrase used to describe the different kinds of choices organizations have to make in the whole process of bringing a product or service to market. The 4Ps is one way – probably the best-known way – of defining the marketing mix, and was first expressed in 1960 by E J McCarthy. The 4Ps are: Product (or Service). Place. Price. Promotion.

Here are some questions that will help you understand and define each of the four elements: Product/Serv...
