preferences for service delivery

service operations

and who or what is direct recipient of service (people/possessions),
there are four categories of services:




People processing

Four Categories Of Services
People Processing
 Customers must:
 Physically enter the service
factory
 Co-operate actively with the
service operation
 Managers should think about
process and output from
customer’s perspective
 To identify benefits created and
non-financial costs:
― Time, mental, physical effort

Chapter 2- 8
Possession Processing
Possession Processing
 Customers are less physically
involved compared to people
processing services
 Involvement is limited
 Production and consumption
are separable

Services Marketing, Canadian Edition
Chapter 2- 9
Mental Stimulus Processing
Mental Stimulus Processing
 Ethical standards required when
customers who depend on such
services can potentially be
manipulated by suppliers
 Physical presence of recipients
not required
 Core content of services is
information-based
 Can be “inventoried”

Chapter 2- 10
Information Processing
Information Processing
 Information is the most
intangible form of service
output
 But may be transformed into
enduring forms of service
output
 Line between information
processing and mental stimulus
processing may be blurred.

High Versus Low Contact Services
 Service marketers must manage the ways customers
encounter the service organization
 Each element they encounter must be consistent or the
organization’s credibility is weakened
 High contact services present marketing challenges
 More contact points, more moments of truth
 Requires consistent messaging at each contact point
 Low contact services have less contact points with higher
importance
 Customer more reliant on the contact point chosen
 Importance of self service technology (SST) that works

Customer Satisfaction Is Central to
the Marketing Concept
 Satisfaction defined as attitude-like judgment following a service
purchase or series of service interactions
 Customers have expectations prior to consumption, observe service
performance, compare it to expectations
 Satisfaction judgments are based on this comparison
 Positive disconfirmation if better than expected
 Confirmation if same as expected
 Negative disconfirmation if worse than expected
 Satisfaction reflects perceived service quality, price/quality tradeoffs,
personal and situational factors
 Research shows links between customer satisfaction and a firm’s
financial performance
