Improving Shareholder Value Through Customer Equity

Customer equity functions in a positive perspective of the company, its offerings and its employees.   Customer equity has significant worth to companies that desire to encourage customers to continue to pay for products and services that raise shareholder value, firm growth and employment prospects.

A mixed economic blessing that teeters between recovery and replacement. Lower-wage industries have accounted for 22% of the recession loss but 44% of the employment growth over the past 4 years. It now employs 1.85 million more workers than it did in the past. Mid-range employment jobs lost were around 37% while recent increases are around 26% for a total of 958,000 lost.
