By nullifying all these factors and providing high valued service and high end products which are available all the time develops a sense of credibility among the customers.

    In today’s competitive business marketplace, customer satisfaction is an important performance exponent and basic differentiator of business strategies. However, a satisfied customer may be or may not be loyal but an unsatisfied customer potentially seeks other options and may migrate easily.

    Hence it is important for the supplier to identify dissatisfaction factors and develop corrective measures to cope up with.

    It is often seen that if these corrective measures are implemented successfully to improve satisfaction then satisfaction level increases to a much higher level as compared to a normal satisfied customer.

    A satisfied customer mostly tends to be a loyal customer hence customer satisfaction is an important factor that increases customer loyalty.
