Relationship Marketing (RM) represents a paradigm shift from traditional marketing strategies to a more long-term relationship-oriented marketing strategy. It concentrates efforts on massaging and enhancing customer and employee relationships. It requires buy-in from everyone in the company to “know the customer” and to ensure that customers trust the company’s intentions and feel a part of the “family”. This strategy can be costly to implement since it does require that systems within an organization are integrated so that customer value is clearly understood .
