In saturated markets, relational marketing is taking more importance relative to transactional marketing. Companies need to create long-lasting relations online and offline with their customers in order to maximize their share-of-wallet instead of trying to maximize their market share. This relational approach is particularly relevant (but no limited) to services marketing and business to business marketing.
