Channel Behavior & Conflict
• For the channel to perform well, each channel
member’s role must be specified and conflict
must be managed.
• When this doesn’t happen, conflict occurs:
– Horizontal Conflict occurs among firms at the same
level of the channel, i.e retailer to retailer.
– Vertical Conflict occurs between different levels of the
same channel, i.e. wholesaler to retailer.

Competitive Strategies: Attracting,
Retaining, and Growing Customers
58
Customer Relationship Marketing
• Traditional marketing theory and practice have focused on
attracting new customers rather than retaining existing ones.
1). The move today, however, is toward relationship marketing-creating,maintaining, and enhancing strong relationships with
customers and other stakeholders.
2). Beyond designing strategies to attract new customers and
create transactions with them, companies are going all out to
retain current customers and build profitable, long-term
relationships with them.
3). This new view is that marketing is the science and art of
finding, retaining, and growing profitable customers.
