MKT 346: Marketing of Services Dr. Houston Chapter 5: Distributing Services Through Physical and Electronic Channels

Distribution in a Services Context  In a services context, we often do not move anything  Experiences, performances and solutions are not being physically shipped and stored  More and more informational transactions are conducted through electronic rather than physical channels

Distribution Options for Serving Customers  Customers visit service site  Service providers go to customers  Service transaction is conducted remotely

Six Options For Service Delivery (Table 5.1)

Channel Preferences Vary Among Customers  Personal channels  Impersonal and self-service channels  Convenience is a key driver of channel choice

Places of Service Delivery  Key customer concerns  Key “back stage” concerns  Constraints  Operational  Geographic  Need for economies of scale

Time of Service Delivery  Traditional schedules were/are restricted  Day time only  hours a week  Contemporary schedules must be flexible and responsive  24/7/365 service

Distribution of Supplementary Services in Cyberspace  Five of the supplementary services are information-based  These services can all be distributed electronically:  Information  Consultation  Order-taking  Billing  Payment  Distribution of information, consultation and order-taking has reached very sophisticated levels in global service industries (e.g., hotels, airlines, car rental companies)

Information and Physical Processes of Augmented Service Product (Fig 5.11)

Service Delivery Innovations Facilitated by Technology  Technological Innovations  Mobile “smart” phones and WiFi  Voice-recognition technology  (Interactive) web sites  Smart cards

E-Commerce: Move to Cyberspace  Key factors luring customers to virtual stores:  Convenience  Ease of search  Broader selection  Potential for better prices  24-hour service with prompt delivery

E-Commerce: Recent Developments  Integration of service delivery infrastructure:  websites  customer relationship management (CRM) systems  mobile telephony  Integration of mobile devices:  Improves access to services  Alert customers to opportunities/problems  Updates information in real time

Does It Make Sense to Outsource Supplementary Services?  Is it cost-effective?  What new challenges does it present?

Splitting Responsibilities For Supplementary Service Elements (Fig. 5.16) Challenges for original supplier:  Act as guardian of overall process  Ensure that each element offered by intermediaries fits overall service concept

Franchising  Popular way to expand delivery of service concept  Smaller monetary investment  Franchisor provides:  training  equipment  support marketing activities  Franchisees:  invest time and finance  follow copy and media guidelines of franchisor

Franchising  Disadvantages of franchising  Some loss of control over delivery system  Some loss of control over how customers experience actual service  Effective quality control is important but yet difficult  Conflict between franchisees may arise

MKT 346 Key Concepts: Chapter 5  Distribution in services often involve moving nothing and many information-based services can be distributed electronically  Options for service delivery include:  Customers visit the service site  Service providers go to their customers  Service transaction is conducted remotely  Channel preferences vary among customers  Place and time decisions include where and when services should be delivered in bricks-and-mortar context  Delivery in cyberspace is facilitated by technology and e-commerce  Intermediaries play roles in distributing services  Franchising brings both advantages and disadvantages to the firm
