  7. Marketing myopia The mistake of paying more attention to the specific products a company offers than to the benefits and experiences produced by these products(Armstrong and Kotler, 2011, p.35)

  8. Customer perceived value The customer’s evaluation of the difference between all the benefits and all the costs of a market offering relative to those of competing offers(Armstrong and Kotler, 2011, p.41)

  9. Customer satisfaction The extent to which a product’s perceived performance and value matches a buyer’s expectations
