[ Gunnarsson, Claes and Seth Jonsson, European Journal of Operational Research, Volume 144, Issue 2, 16 January 2003, Pages 257-269 ] Reichheld's book was exceptionally popular withmarketing andcustomer relationship management professionals, and as such the phrase "loyalty effect" has become synonymous in some circles with the more generic concepts covered by the loyalty business model.
