approach which is integrated marketing.

Media Landscape
? By late 90’s, Asian agencies were moving from generalization to specialization

in different areas.

Relationship Management (GRM).

capital.

online media and designing were becoming blurred

THE CRM INDUSTRY IN ASIA
? The Asian CRM market was relatively smaller, but high

growth rates were expected than in North America. ? Asian markets began to understand the importance of CRM as it costs the industry five times as much to acquire a new customer than to retain an existing one . ? Building long-term and sustainable customer relationships was a good strategy. ? Asia pacific’s technology adoption rate was slower as compared to Europe and US

Issues in Asia
