Product Use

Stringent product liability laws have made firms responsible for harm caused by products not only

When marketers discover confusion about proper use, they should engage in communications to increase the chances of proper use.

Marketing Strategy and Dissatisfied Consumers

When a consumer is dissatisfied, the most favorable consequence is for the person to communicate this dissatisfaction to the firm but to no one else.

Unfortunately, many individuals do not communicate their dissatisfaction to the firm involved.

Companies often make it difficult to complain or are unresponsive to complaints.

Customer Satisfaction, Repeat Purchases, and Customer Commitment

Repeat purchasers continue to buy the same brand though they do not have an emotional attachment to it.
