黃金博物園區體驗行銷之研究 / A study on experiential marketing of gold ecological park鄭旭玲 Unknown Date (has links)
夏業良、魯煒在他們所譯的體驗經濟時代一書中提到:「消費是一種過程,當過程結束後,體驗的記憶將恆久存在」,消費者對於實體商品的消費可能因時間、空間的流失而結束,但他們對消費實體商品後,所衍生出來的感動與情感依附,卻可能長久存在,從實體商品轉換成感覺商品的價值差異,正是所有體驗行銷推動者,所試圖創造並達到的。
基於一次對黃金博物園區的親身旅遊經驗,研究者發現該園區具備執行體驗行銷之完整條件,因此引發本研究動機,以此為個案,採問卷調查法與焦點訪談法,研究黃金博物園區體驗行銷之策略。
本研究採取驗證性之方法,獲得結果如下:
1.遊客對黃金博物園區體驗行銷五大策略模組,整體同意度接近4,趨向同意。
2.遊客對黃金博物園區體驗價值,整體同意度超過3.6,趨向同意。
3.遊客對黃金博物園區顧客滿意度與忠誠度,整體同意度為3.8,趨向同意。
4.人口變項與體驗行銷、體驗價值、顧滿意度、忠誠度關聯性不顯著。
5.遊客的旅遊態度與型態,影響遊客對體驗行銷五大策略模組的感受。
6.體驗行銷與體驗價值正向顯著關係,部分成立。
經由本論文問卷資料分析實證結果發現「感官體驗對美感價值、服務優越性
有顯著正向關係」;「情感體驗對美感價值、服務優越性、趣味性有顯著正
向關係」;「行動體驗對服務優越性、趣味性、美感價值有顯著正向關
係」;「思考體驗對服務優越性、趣味性、美感價值有顯著正向關係」;
「關聯體驗對趣味性價值有顯著正向關係」。而「感官體驗對趣味性價
值」、「關聯體驗對服務優越性、美感價值」,卻沒有呈現顯著正向關係。
7.體驗價值與顧客滿意度有正向顯著關係。
8.體驗價值與忠誠度有正向顯著關係。
9.顧客滿意與忠誠度有正向顯著關係。
10.黃金博物園區擁有五大成功關鍵因素(KSF),可提供其他生態博物園
區、博物館,作為體驗行銷執行策略之參考。
(1)保持原味(Originality)
(2)具有獨特性(Unique)
(3)多變性(Variation)
(4)價格低廉(Free & Inexpensive)
(5)市場區隔(Distinctive) / In the “Era of Experiential Economy” translated by Xia and Lu, it reads: “Consumption is a process, and when this process is over, the experiential memory is what lasts forever.” A consumer’s consumption of a physical product may end with spatial or temporal changes; however, the feeling and affect that derive from the consumption may last forever, and the difference in value in the transition from a physical product to an affect product is what all experiential marketers are trying to achieve.
After returning from a trip to the Gold Ecological Park (hereafter the “Park”), it was determined that the Park had all the necessary conditions for experiential marketing, and this study was conducted as a result. This present study is a case study of the Park using methods such as questionnaire survey and focus-group interview, aiming at the strategies of the Park’s experiential marketing.
The results yielded by the analysis are as follows:
1. The overall level of the interviewed tourists' (hereafter the “respondents”) agreement regarding the Park’s five major marketing strategies was close to 4.
2. The overall level of the respondents' agreement regarding the Park’s experiential value exceeded 3.6.
3. The overall level of the respondents’ agreement regarding the Park’s customer satisfaction and loyalty was 3.8.
4. There were no significant correlations between demographic variables, experiential marketing, experiential value, customer satisfaction, and customer loyalty.
5. A tourist’s travel-related attitude and style affect how he/she feels about the five major experiential strategies.
6. The statement that there is a significantly positive correlation between experiential marketing and experiential value is partially supported.
The findings yielded by our questionnaire indicate that “there is a significantly positive correlation between sensory experiences, aesthetic values, and superiority of services.” “There is a significantly positive correlation between affective experience, aesthetic values, superiority of services, and fun.” “There is a significantly positive correlation between action-based experience, aesthetic values, superiority of services, and fun.” “There is a significantly positive correlation between thinking-based experience, aesthetic values, superiority of services, and fun.” “There is a significantly positive correlation between correlation-based experience and fun values.” However, there is no significantly positive correlation between “sensory experience and fun values” or between “correlation-based experience and aesthetic values and superiority of services.”
7. There is a significantly positive correlation between experiential values and customer satisfaction.
8. There is a significantly positive correlation between experiential values and customer loyalty.
9. There is a significantly positive correlation between customer satisfaction and customer loyalty.
10. The Park has five KSF, or Key Success Factors, that serve as valuable reference for other ecological parks and museums in their experiential marketing.
(1)Originality
(2)Unique
(3)Variation
(4)Free & Inexpensive
(5)Distinctive

影響國際連鎖觀光旅館顧客滿意度與忠誠度因素之研究蔡雅雯 Unknown Date (has links)
觀光產業是世界各國普遍重視的無煙囪工業,與科技產業共同被視為是21 世紀的明星產業,環顧世界經濟情勢,新興產業不斷興起,觀光事業已趨於國際化、多角化經營之際,也是我國當前首重之發展產業。國際觀光旅館是屬於高有形性比重的產業以及高度人員涉入的服務產業,探討具有實體產品與無形服務組合的服務其產品品質與服務品質如何對於消費者產生影響,將是一個兼具研究與實用價值的主題。
旅館是高度競爭的行業,毫無疑問的,地點是商務旅客、休憩觀光客和研討會代表等選擇可行方案時的重要準則,然而地點並非是每個區隔顧客在選擇旅館時唯一的考量。在旅館的每個等級內,在大都市中皆可發現許多選擇方案,豪華的程度與實體設施的舒適性可做為一項選擇準則。究竟是什麼關鍵因素促使消費者選擇並維持與某個服務供應商的忠誠度?因此,本研究假設國際觀光旅館其產品特性(包含有形的產品與無形的服務)和顧客的特殊利益有關之情況下,了解目標客戶的偏好以及如何其建立長期關係並為其帶來附加價值。
本研究參考Zeithaml and Bitner(1996)提出「顧客知覺品質與顧客滿意度關係圖」作為研究基礎,來探討影響不同區隔的顧客滿意度因素,以及不同區隔的顧客,影響其顧客忠誠度的因素又為何?以及國際觀光旅館的產品品質對於商務旅客顧客滿意度以及忠誠度之影響是否大於國際觀光旅館的服務品質之影響,並且探討國際觀光旅館的服務品質對於休憩觀光旅客顧客滿意度以及忠誠度之影響是否大於國際觀光旅館的產品品質之影響。接著探討滿意度與忠誠度之間的關係;最後以探索性研究的方式檢視忠誠會員專案對於商務旅客之顧客滿意度與忠誠度之影響。
本研究係以入住中華民國交通部觀光局核准營業之國際觀光旅館之旅客進行滿意度調查,問卷的設計以旅館的主要服務品質組成因素,請旅客針對他們所接受到的整體服務體驗就組成因素,如服務人員的服務品質、住宿與退宿的整體客房服務品質、旅館的硬體設施與服務以及與餐廳有關的設施與服務等,個別評估其滿意度。
由本研究結果顯示商務旅客與休憩觀光旅客雖然為具有不同需求的旅客,由顧客知覺的服務品質、顧客滿意度與顧客忠誠度的衡量項目中,萃取出影響服務品質、顧客滿意度與顧客忠誠度的因素中皆包含有形性的特質。與旅客接觸點的分析結果發現,並不是所有服務人員具有相同程度的服務機會,亦即與旅客的互動程度不同。服務品質中與服務人員互動構面對於顧客滿意度之影響並未達顯著之水準因素。因此本研究推論有形性可視為國際觀光旅館服務品質之最主要因素。
在滿意度的部份,對於商務旅客而言,國際觀光旅館的產品品質與服務品直接對於顧客滿意度具有直接的影響;而且產品品質的影響力大於服務品質的影響力。對於休憩觀光旅客而言,國際觀光旅館的產品品質與服務品質對於其顧客滿意度亦具有正面之影響。至於影響顧客滿意度與忠誠度之整體模型部份,商務旅客的滿意度同時受到國際觀光旅館的產品品質與服務品質的影響,並且國際觀光旅館的產品品質與國際觀光旅館的服務品質亦同時影響到顧客忠誠度。然而國際觀光旅館的產品品質與國際觀光旅館的服務品質對於休憩觀光旅客的滿意度分別都具有影響力,但是不具有顯著的差異。休憩觀光旅客的顧客忠誠度直接受到國際觀光旅館的服務品質的影響,並未受到產品品質的影響。
經初步研究發現會員忠誠專案對於顧客忠誠度的影響不明顯,忠誠度計劃的測量結果發現參加會員忠誠專案之旅客,只是對忠誠度計劃本身具忠誠度而非對該特定品牌具有一定的忠誠度,旅客的忠誠度是脆弱也容易因為其他因素對其忠誠度產生影響。對許多專業經理人來說,工作就等於休閒,因此,如何讓他們在工作中,也能得到休閒時的自在感,是未來國際觀光旅館業的趨勢。 / This study make used of hotel’s database and based on the 131 completed survey form hotel guests, identify attributes that will affect the customer satisfaction and customer loyalty of guests in the chain hotels. And will explore that if the frequent – guest program help hotels increase customer loyalty.
The dimension of customer satisfaction with a service includes service quality, product quality and price. The results of the regression test that variable, the product quality and service quality will affect customer satisfaction of the business traveler, moreover service quality and product that direct influence customer loyalty. There is linear relationship between customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. The factors affect the customer satisfaction are comfort of room、cleanliness of room and check-in。The hotel staff provides the effective check-in with pleasure attitude will affect their loyalty.
Analysis results showed that the service quality and product quality will have direct influence the customer satisfaction of pleasure traveler, however, service quality will engage the customer loyalty of pleasure traveler. There is a strong connection between customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. And the comfort of room will be the factor engaged the customer satisfaction.
Finally, the frequent-guest program has the less influence of customer loyalty as expected. The business traveler were among the least loyal of the guests, considering the industry’s huge expenditures on frequent-guest programs, the hotelier may consider redirecting some of the frequent-guest expenditure toward strengthening human resources and toward improving the guest’s experience through quality of product improvement.
Inferred form the results we have found, this study proposed some recommendations to the hotelier and the academics who try to do some further research on this topic.

The antecedents of the employee loyalty-customer loyalty relationshipPeloso, Antony Frederick January 2005 (has links)
Increasing and maintaining customer loyalty has been shown to enhance service firm profitability. This research focuses on the antecedents of customer loyalty in a large
national North American banking organisation, in particular the relationship between employee loyalty and customer loyalty, and further within the organisation, the antecedents of the employee loyalty-customer loyalty relationship. Thus the current research investigates the chain of events from managerial actions to customer loyalty with the aim of identifying relevant managerial practices and their influences within the organisation that lead to customer loyalty.
The research provides tangible evidence supporting the importance of providing
organisational resources to increase employee loyalty as a means of increasing customer
loyalty in service organisations. To achieve this goal, the study suggests that a
comprehensive set of managerial practices will enhance an organisation's service climate,
foster positive employee attitudes and behaviours in relation to service provision, that
impact on employee loyalty, service quality, and ultimately customer loyalty. These practices include support provided by senior leadership, the provision of resources that facilitate effective work practices, a positive management orientation on customers, and the use of employee evaluation and remuneration based on service-oriented behaviours and attitudes. By instituting these managerial practices, management can increase employee perceptions of self-efficacy, employees' beliefs in the abilities to perform well in their jobs, increase employee satisfaction, which in turn drive employee loyalty.
These managerial practices also enhance the favourable nature of the organisation's
service climate so that customer perceptions of service quality are likely to be more positive.
Overall the study provides evidence to support the existence of a chain of events from
managerial actions to employee and customer loyalty intentions. Evidence also exists to
support the relationship between employee loyalty and customer loyalty, so that higher
levels of loyalty within service a service organisation can potentially lead to higher levels of customer loyalty.
The implications of the research are that management within service organisations can
impact customer loyalty by focussing directly on service delivery issues and by providing a favourable service climate. Managers can also influence employee beliefs about their
abilities to do their jobs and the level of satisfaction employees have within those
organisational roles.
The study also suggests that a service organisation's service climate is an important
mechanism by which management can communicate to both employees and customers that a customer orientation is a primary managerial imperative. Finally, the study provides valuable insight into the processes by which employees perceive managerial orientation and support, and how those perceptions influence customer perceptions of service quality and impact on their loyalty intentions towards service organisations.

A study of the product, service, planned and unplanned messages that relate to customer satisfaction at the Transvaal museumMudzanani, Takalani Eric 31 March 2008 (has links)
The study examines the impact of communication on customer satisfaction at the Transvaal Museum. Customer satisfaction refers to customer's overall satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the organisation based on all encounters and experience with that particular organisation. Communication has an impact on both customer satisfaction and future behavioural actions of consumers. There are four sources of brand messages namely, planned, unplanned, product and service messages. In the quest for increased customer satisfaction, companies are moving away from the traditional 4Ps (product, price, place and promotion) of the marketing mix to the 8Ps. The other four Ps include physical assets, procedures, personnel and personalisation. Integration of all marketing communications to customers is seen as a key activity in companies' attempts to build long term-relationships. On the whole, the study has indicated that customers of the museum are satisfied with its products, services and messages. However, the research has also shown that customers are not happy with the way the museum handles its planned communication activities. / Communication Science / M.A. (Organisational Communication Research Practice)
