ANALYSIS

Concept of customer dissatisfaction

Consumer satisfaction is defined to as behaviour of customer which would be in regard to acquiring goods or service of company and how or why they are using that. This would also be evolving around post purchase judgment which is due to choice of customer on specified purchase of good and then consuming that (Siu, Zhang and Kwan, 2014). If after their purchase and use of those goods or availing that service customers are complaining about goods and service then this would be included into dissatisfaction of customers. There are 5 behaviour of customers which is included into their complaining nature like that of dealing with the retailer, avoiding to purchase from that retailer and suggesting friends to do so, taking strict actions against them, simply boycotting whole firm and purchasing goods with other company. There are many reasons as to why consumer is behaving in this manner of not using products of company or purchasing that of other competitive firm. Price of product, its quality, quantity, customer service and why of company handling customer would be all included factors as studied in above literature review part.

Relationships between customer satisfaction, retention and profit

There are important terms which are been included within satisfaction of customer like that of retention and company’s profit section as well (Akamavi, Mohamed and Xu, 2015). There is strong relationship between satisfactions of customer their retention and then profit of company which tells that if one increases there would be increase in another. But there is inverse relationship between dissatisfaction of customer and profits of company or customer’s retention. If customer is highly dissatisfied by company then surely they would not be retained within firm which means that they are switching from firm causing loss of profits. Ryanair is having high number of dissatisfied customers within Europe which is not helping company to retain their customers which is directly impacting the profits of company.

There are many instances related to organisation that are pointing out that into Ryanair customers are highly dissatisfied with management or staff of company (Juric, Smith and Wilks, 2015). Company is following its rigorous strategies related to controlling of its cost which is thus allowing them to keep their price low but this seems not regulating with customers. As in way of lowering down their cost firm is started involved into cheap price of their products and cancellation of flights on daily bases are very common problem. Company is having very strong brand image within market as it is having tendency of timely departure or low fare but the increased number of cancellation of flights would be big reason of dissatisfied customer.

However, instance show that company is hiring people on base of third party agencies which is one of the basic reason as to why airlines is controlling their cost. But if the staff members of company refused to cooperate with company which they are doing many a times by calling off for strike (Kalaiarasan, Appannan and Doraisamy, 2015). All these things would be revolving around loyalty of customers which means that for how much time they are been involved with company having positive attitude on products of company.
