| Abstract | Currently, customer relationship management (CRM) is one of the most effective customer orientedbusiness strategies to strengthen relationship between customers and companies. To achieve that relationship, customer satisfaction is the initial outcome of CRM. Not only service market, but health product business is also a candidate to use CRM as a business driver. Health products are popular and the trend of sale is growing up day by day. The objectives of this study were to explore the empirical implementation of CRM in health product business and to identify the tactical approaches of CRM to achieve customer satisfaction. Literatures were reviewed and expert interviews were performed to get the initial CRM conceptual framework. Payne and Frow?s framework was a theoretical guide. A new company, namely Greenie Health (Thailand), was established. Products, sold in the company, were focused on health products. The way of implementing and running the company was strictly complied with the five processes of Payne and Frow?s framework. Strategy development and value creation were established. Multichannel integration was executed and marketing activities, such as newsletter, seminar, and call center, were directed to the Greenie member and focused on key values of company, product benefits, and member benefits as well as rewards. Information management had been created and operated to support CRM execution. Lastly, performance assessment was evaluated to ensure the implementation in line with the plan. Participant observation and customer interviews, to understand customer insight, were performed. The results showed that the key drivers to enhance customer satisfaction were perceived quality of the product value, effective communication in multichannel integration, loyalty campaign - such as seminar or workshop, and special service. Attractive contact point was face-to-face contact, including booth exhibition, workshop, shop and sales force. To accomplish successful CRM implementation, the company must start with strategy development and keep focusing on value. Nevertheless, Intervention period and budget or business investment, especially in small and medium enterprise, were the constraints in this study. In practice, other marketing strategies should be run parallel with CRM to synergize and enhance business outcomes. |
