In the 21st century, Chinese manufacturers have increasingly recognized the importance of services as a core strategic objective. One of the most significant achievements has been the development of strong service brands. For instance, in June 2004, Dongfeng Liuzhou Automobile launched its "Sunshine Online" service, while in August 2005, Ingersoll-Rand introduced its "Sincerity Service" brand. Later that year, in October 2005, Shanghai Volkswagen rolled out its "Techcare Public Care" service. These examples show how service is no longer just an afterthought or a supporting element; it has evolved into a central component of the marketing strategy, often taking the lead role.
When we look at existing service brands in the manufacturing sector, it becomes clear that they are built on several key elements. Generally speaking, a service brand comprises six essential components.
First, service quality plays a vital role. This includes various aspects such as the range of service offerings, established service standards, delivery methods, and service commitments. Together, these factors form the basis for evaluating the overall quality of service.
Second, the service model is another critical factor. It encompasses both the business model—such as outsourcing, franchising, or independent expansion—and the management approach. Along with service response speed and scalability, the service model forms three of the main competitive advantages in the service industry.
Third, service technology significantly influences the quality and efficiency of service delivery. The technological content of a service is a key determinant of its value. Moreover, continuous innovation in service technology is essential for maintaining a long-term competitive edge.
Fourth, service costs and pricing must be carefully managed. While improving service quality is important, it cannot be done without considering cost implications. Balancing quality with affordability is crucial for sustainable business operations.
Fifth, service culture is deeply rooted in the integration of corporate values and consumer expectations. A strong service culture should be customer-centric, reflecting the brand’s commitment to excellence and satisfaction.
Lastly, service credit is fundamental. Trust and integrity are non-negotiable in building a credible service brand. Additionally, ensuring the professionalism of service providers is a challenge that companies must address to maintain their reputation and customer loyalty.
By focusing on these six pillars, manufacturers can effectively build and sustain powerful service brands that resonate with customers and drive long-term success.
