Customer Satisfaction Strategy in Chain Supermarket s

Customer satisfaction strategy’s main idea is: the guideline is that the whole operational activities of supermarkets are for customer satisfaction, in customers’ view to analyze consumpt ion demand. By satisfying customers’ need to realize supermarkets’ operational aim.

The fundamental purpose of supermarkets’ customer satisfaction is to cultivate customers’ trust on supermarkets, to enhance customers’ satisfaction for the whole supermarke ts’ operational activities. In order to do this, we must know the new marketing strategy’s content, and carry it out seriously. Its implementary points can be summarized as the following main aspects: (1) Shaping " customer first" business philosophy. The operational philosophy of "customer first" is the most fundamental motivation for serving customers, meanwhile, it also conducts making decisions, connecting all the departments of supermarkets to strive for the customer satisfaction. This operational philosophy is not only emphasized in senior management, more important is to embed it into everyone’s heart, and help personnel understand the importance of this philosophy.

From its basic meaning, the operational philosophy of "customer first" has three gradations: customer is the highest, the customer is always right, everything for the customer.

Customer is the highest. Customers are the external public who has direct relation with the supermarket’s future and destiny. To some extent, the market is the customer, lost public is the same as losing the market. The fate of one supermarket without market can not be well imagined. Therefore, the essence of the market-oriented is the customer-oriented, in the specific concept, customer is the highest. This idea requires that

supermarkets should put customers at the first position of operation and management system, let customers feel the God’s real existence, thus, customers will produce acknowledgment and affiliation mentally for supermarkets.

The customer is always right. The idea of the customer is always right is very difficult to set up from the logic point of view; it doesn’t conform to the objective reality either. However, in order to achieve the supermarket’s aim, as long as customers’ faults do not constitute a great loss to supermarkets, supermarkets would give" right" to customers. This is the important expression of customer satisfaction. The idea of the customer is always right includes three meanings: first, customers are the purchasers, not trouble makers; second, customers understand their own demand and hobby, which is just the information that supermarkets need to collect; third, because of customers’ "natural consistency", quarrelling with one customer is quarrelling with all the customers, in the concept of customer is wrong, supermarkets are absolutely not the winners, thereby, you will lose customers, it also means losing the market, losing profit.

Everything for the customer. If it is said that customer is the highest is the starting point of supermarket management, then everything for the customer is the end-result. Everything for the customer requires supermarkets should consider everything from customers’ point of view, think what customers think, customers’ need is supermarkets’ need.

(2) Treat personnel with hospitality. Customers in supermarkets can be broadly divided into two categories: one is the external customer; the other is the internal customer. External customers are the target customers of supermarkets; super markets’ ultimate goal is to satisfy external customers, then gain profit. But most supermarkets ignore the more crucial factor --- internal customers’ satisfaction, that is to say, supermarket personnel’s satisfaction. Personnel are the carriers that prom ote supermarkets’ management philosophy and service mind to final customers, they are also the major components of personnel satisfaction and customer satisfaction. A high personnel loyalty is equally as important as a high customer loyalty. If supermarkets want to retain the best customers, they must retain the best personnel.
