Abstract: | Marketing from a relational perspective, or relationship marketing, requires that a firm offers more resources and activities than a core product (goods or services) in order to satisfy the long-term value needs of its customers. In the present article a value-driven approach to how such long-term needs are fulfilled is discussed. The analysis goes beyond the product concept and develops a resources-and-competencies approach to the market offer. However, a relational approach to marketing can be expected to be succesful only if the firm adopts a true relational intent and the customer is in a relational mode. Therefore, the concepts of relational and transactional intent and relational and transactional mode, respectively, are also introduced and discussed. |
