According to Serrano, Relationship Marketing includes activities
aimed at developing and managing trusting and long-term
relationships with larger customers. (Customer profile, buying
patterns and history of contacts are kept in a sales database)
Relationship marketing is a strategy designed for customer loyalty,
interaction, and long-term engagement to be fostered. Customer
Relationship focuses more on long-term customer retention than
acquiring large numbers of new and potentially single-transaction
customers.
