Customerbrandloyaltyhasmanyaspects.Rowley（2005,p.574）concludesthattherearefourtypesofloyalty:

captive,convenience-seekers,contentedandcommitted.Captivecustomerspreferrepeatedlypurchasingthesameproduct,serviceandbrandbecauseoflackofopportunitiestosubstituteforalternatives.Convenience-seekersmaynotrespectthebranditself,butlookontheconveniencethatcancarry.Contentedconsumershowever,haveapositiveattitudetoabrand,buttheywon’tattempttosomeextraconsumption.Theperfectoneisthecommitted,whoareactivebothinattitudeandbehavior.

2.Consumerbrandloyaltyhasasignificantpositioninthemarketing.

2.2Cutdowncosts

Thisstrategymayfacilitatevendorsexpendlessbutattainutmostmoneyinthemarketing.TheworkofReichheld（2000,qtdinBanasiewicz）revealsthatsellershavetowasteasmuchasfourtimesmoneytoattractnewclientsthantocontinuetheloyalcustomer.Onaccountofthis,theauthorturnedtoaperfectstatistictoprovethiscontention.Hegoesontoindicatethatforanindividualcustomer,youhavetojustspend5percentofwealthforkeepinghisloyalty;alternatively,youwillreceive75%ofprofitsthathewillbringin.Itcanbecomprehendedasacquiringnewpurchasersexpendmoremoneytoadvertising,giveawayandindustrydiscount.

2.3Lesssensitivetoprice

3.1Purchasersrefuseloyaltyprograms

Itisapopularbelief,however,thatwemayfindcertaindifficultiestofacewithconsumerloyalty.Firstofall,Consumersarelesswillingtoparticipatetocustomerloyaltyprogramforseveralreasons.Theexcellentconsumerloyaltyprogramconcludesbothrewardsandrecognition;nevertheless,notwithstanding,thetargetdoesn’tmakesenseinthemodernsociety.Thomas（2009,qtdinSilverstein）drawsattentiontothefactthatwithcustomersfacinganarrayofchoices,theywillbeparticularaboutwhattheybuy;asaconsequence,wearepayingmoreattentionontherewardsofaproduct.Itmeansthatlittlerewardswon’tsatisfyusanymore.Inotherwords,itisthemoderneconomyenvironmentthatmakesitmoredifficultforthesellerstoremuneratepeople.

3.2Loyalprogramsisincomplete

Yetanotherprimaryreasonfornon-participationisthatcustomershavemorerequirementsonloyaltyprogram.AccordingtoSilverstein（2009）,morethan50%ofaudiencescomplainthatmostloyaltyprogramslookthesame,sotheyloseinteresttobelongtoanyprogram.Worsestill,somepeoplewhooncetookpartinanyloyaltyprogramevendropoutbecauseofthesetworeasons.Atthesametime,somepeoplecontentthatcompaniesentrepreneursshouldn’trelyabsolutelyoncustomerfidelity.Agoodexampleofthisisthatcurrentloyaltyprogramexistssomedrawbackswhichmakeitsfunctionincomplete（2003,Uncles,p.294）.Theauthorexaminesthatmostpeopletrendtopaymoneyfortheproducttheyrequire.Insimplerterms,customerschooseonlyonecategoryofbrandsisanidealcondition.

4.1Brandreputation

4.2Brandimage
