Abstract:
This study is about customer behavior, service quality, marketing mix and its effect on loyalty by completing a questionnaire of 200 patients and an interview form that includes 15 patients and staff of tertiary skin hospital in Bangkok, Thailand. In searching behavior, they believed others than the internet and their's own. Patients were satisfied with the service quality and marketing mix. The service qualities that result in disloyalties include empathy, tangibles and reliability. While, the marketing mix problem comprises personnel, signposts, expensive parking places, complicated processes, crowded physical evidence, non-unique products and costly drug. The reliability of treatment outcomes and empathy primarily affects loyalty. In comparison, the main part of the marketing mix that affects loyalty is promotion and people. Hence, the first proposed solutions are divided the promotion program into two groups, focusing on procedures for those who live near and teledermatology for those far away. Secondly, to solve the feeling of unreliable treatment in chronic diseases, we suggest installing the hospital system's application, which automatically provides information for incurable but treatable conditions, enhances patient understanding and reliability.
