Abstract
Recently Korean firms are increasingly interested in internet business while the number of

Internet users reaches more than 10 million in Korea. As e-commerce develops rapidly,

customer satisfaction management of internet business becomes very important. However,

the current practice of customer satisfaction management has many problems. With a focus

on attracting new customers, it does not help raise profitability of the business but worsen the

problem of low profitability of the internet business. Thus, the paper suggests internet

customer loyalty management as a new direction of customer satisfaction management of the

internet business. The issues of how to apply customer loyalty to and achieve it in internet

business are discussed in detail.

Customer loyalty management is much more important for Internet businesses than

traditional customer satisfaction management focusing on attracting new customers. The

main objectives of internet customer loyalty management are to maintain customer and raise

customer loyalty through the use of internet. Raising loyalty of existing customers to internet

site is more effective in improving profitability of the internet site than customer satisfaction

of new customers. Many techniques including e-CRM need to be carried out on internet to

achieve high level of customer loyalty. There are three stages of e-CRM: first stage is provide financial incentives for repeat purchases or participation in online commerce. The second

stage is to provide online community for members of the internet site, which will work as a

online forum or meeting place of the members. This will produce strong relationships

among members. The final stage is for the internet business to have structural ties with

customers, through which the internet business help the customers process order, manage

inventory or fix some problems on line. The very successful case of internet customer loyalty

management is found in Dell computer, which have used internet to maintain and raise

loyalty of customers purchasing computers or servers on line.
