    1. Introduction – importance of customer loyalty to a company Customer loyalty is an important thing to be considered by every organization because it can affect the performance of a company, directly or indirectly, and within short-term as well as long-term period. According to Castledine (2011), loyal customers generate more profits and it is also six times cheaper to retain an existing customer rather than winning a new one. Customer loyalty can be obtained by delivering value that creates customer satisfaction. Value is closely related with the ratio between cost and benefit to the customer (Castledine, 2011). Customer satisfaction is created when their experience or perceived performance meets their expectations (Castledine, 2011). A company should strive not only to achieve customer satisfaction one at a time, but also try to make a consistent creation of it. In the context of service industry, the challenge of making consistent customer satisfaction is bigger than the challenge faced by…
