Abstract:

This paper aims at better understanding of customers and thus, at suggesting the means of better customer-centric approach. It is crucial for each business to create such segments which are sufficiently homogenous to be addressed effectively. Based on empirical judgment and previous search, four segments of customers were defined and significant differences among them were proved and outlined. There are two research questions: What is the importance of attributes of customer-centric approach for each segment? What is the biggest divergence in customer-centric attributes perceived by each segment? Large quantitative research was conducted (503 respondents) in other to find out customers´ preferences, attitudes and perceived value of offered attributed and thus, means for better customer-centric approach are formulated.
