    •  Service Marketing Triangle

Service marketing triangle developed by ‘Christian Gronross’.
The service marketing triangle or the service triangle as it is
commonly called, underlines the relationship between the
various providers of services and the customers who consumes
these services.


The key players are labeled on the points of the triangle –
company, customer, employees. Between these three points
on the triangle, there are three types of marketing that must
be successfully carried out for services to succeed – External
marketing, Internal marketing, Interactive marketing.


External Marketing : company and customer
Internal Marketing : company and employees
Interactive Marketing : customer and employees

    EXTERNAL MARKETING

1. External marketing is any communication to customer that
    happens before service delivery. Companies use external
    marketing to make promises to customers.

2. Forms of external marketing include advertising, personal
    selling, digital marketing, direct marketing.

3. We use external marketing to achieve many aims include:

4. Creating awareness

5 .Setting price expectation

 
    INTERNAL MARKETING

1. Within a service business, we view employees as internal
    customers. The leadership team should be focused on
    satisfying its employees so that they want to better serve
    customers.

2. Key components of internal marketing include:

3. Motivating employees

4. Teaching customers satisfaction techniques.

5. Communicating company goals regularly

6. Training staff

7. Good pay and working condition


    INTERACTIVE MARKETING

1. In this stage the company’s promises to its customers are
    fulfilled by employees.

2. The interaction among employees and customers are
    known as service encounter.

3. This step is of utmost importance, because if the
    employees falters at this level, all prior efforts made
    towards establishing a relationship with the customer,
    would be wasted.

STRATEGIC IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SEVICE MARKETING TRIANGLES

satisfaction rather than its own convenience.

maintain in the organisation.

in performing the tasks.
