Marketing today is increasingly about "relationships." Repeat business is now recognized as the avenue to enhanced profit performance, and the prerequisite for a sustainable future. The goal: building an enduring and leverageable bond between the company and its customers. The need: creating this bond efficiently, as well as effectively.
