What is loyalty? In a business context loyalty has come to describe a customer s commitment to do business with a particular organization, purchasing their goods and services repeatedly, and recommending the services and products to friends and associates. (Barnett,2000) Loyal Customer can mean a consistent source of revenue over a period of many years. However, this loyalty cannot be taken for granted. It will continue only as long as the customer feels they are receiving better value than they would obtain from another supplier.
