2.RELATIONSHIPMARKETING,SERVICESMARKETINGANDCULTURALMARKETINGASTHREECONVERGENTPERSPECTIVES:
Relationshipmarketinghasbecomeoneofthemostimportantcontributionsinthedevelopmentofmodernmarketingscience(PayneandHolt,2001),andithasgeneratedarecognisedinterestinthefieldofscientificresearch.Whatismore,intheopinionofnumerousauthors,ithasevenbeenseenasanewparadigm(Gummesson,1999;
Pecketal.,1999;
Webster,1992;
ShethandParvatiyar,2000;
KothandaramanandWilson,2000).
WiththeconceptbyGummesson(2002)on“relationshipmarketingisinteractionsinnetworksofrelationships”asastartingpoint,themanagementofaculturalorganizationisunderstoodasbeingnecessarilydeterminedbyamultitudeofagentsinthemarket,beincludedintheorganization’splanningprocess,sincethevalueofthefinalproductisgoingtodependonthemtoalargeextent.Theroleoftheinterestgroupsintheplanningprocessoftheorganizationsisoneoftheleastcultivatedareasofrelationshipmarketing(Henning-ThurauandHansen,2000).PayneandHolt(2001)explicitlyrefertothisdeficiency:
“understandinglong-termrelationshipswithbothcustomersandotherstakeholdergroupshasbeenneglectedinthemainstreammarketingliterature;
managingtheorganization’sinternalandexternalrelationshipsneedstobecomeacentralactivity;
thiscentralactivityisrelationshipmarketing”.Wearefaced,therefore,withanewscenarioinwhichone-to-onemarketinghasgivenwaytomany-to-manymarketing(Gummesson,2004);
inotherwords,planningrelationshipswithindividualshasevolvedtoplanningrelationshipswithcollectives,withinteractionnetworks.
Ontheotherhand,eitherwhencontributionsinthefieldofculturalmarketingdonotrecordenoughstandardizationorvolumetobegroupedintrendsorschools,theydoshareavalue:
theimportanceofrelationshipsintheirmanagement.Contributionsmadeinthisareaareverydiverse,inmostcasesfocusingonrelationshipswithcustomers(relationshipswiththeperformingartsaudience).GarbarinoandJohnson(1999)usethestageofanoff-BroadwaytheatreinNewYorktoexplorethetransaction/relationshipcontinuumproposedbyGronroos(1995)toconcludethattheperformingartsaudiencehasdifferentbehaviouralprofilesdependingontherelationshipsdevelopedwiththeorganizationor,specifically,“inaconsumerenvironmentinwhichcustomersreceivehighlysimilarservices[...]therearesystematicdifferencesintherelationalismofdifferentcustomergroups”.Rentschleretal.(2001)alsoconsideredanempiricalapproachtorelationshipswiththeaudienceofperformingartsorganizationsinAustralia:
“whatartsorganizationsneedtoconsideriswhethertheexpenseofhavinghighsingle-ticketsalesissustainableand,ifnot,whattodoaboutit”.

Relationshipswiththeaudiencearethecentralcomponentintheconfigurationoftherelationshipmarketingmanagementmodelforculturalorganizations.Thiscentralplaceissharedwiththeculturalproduct,whosegeneralmarketingmodelpresentsspecialcharacteristicsthatdifferentiateitfromtheclassicstructureofmarketing,as:

2.Oncepotentialconsumershavebeenidentified,thecompanywilldecideontheremainingrelationshippolicies(instrumentalandgroup,whichwewillcoverbelow).
Therefore,wearefacedwithakindofmarketwhosemarketingprocessshowsa“product-to-client”typestructure.Theatypicalstructuretransformstherelationshippolicywiththeculturalcustomer,asitconsidersthatthecoreoftheproductisunalterable(Colbert,2001).
