Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Rubber Industry, Marketing Effectiveness, Customer RetentionAbstract
The rubber industry faces a lot of dilemmas in the achievement of marketing effectiveness as the structures of their operations are traditional and thus diverse customers. CRM makes it possible to have a strategic approach toward using data-related insights for optimizing customer segmentations, improving customer relationships, and hence enhancing performance outcomes of marketing. Against this background, this paper addresses the role that might be played by CRM in such an endeavor through appropriating relevant literature and extant industry practices. It reveals that CRM tools upgrade the marketing performance through good customer retention, targeted campaign, and effective communication. However, the adoption of CRM is still barred from some of the factors such as integration problems and its cost. Recommendations must focus on industry-specific solutions for CRM, train in this area, and further integrate CRM with existing ones. Adoption of these ideas will enable rubber-industry businesses to use CRM tools towards building strong customer relationships and sustain market efficiency. This report underscores CRM's transformative potential as a competitive advantage in an evolving market landscape.
