Customer value is the difference between the benefits that the

obtaining the product.
Customer satisfaction depends on a product’s perceived performance
in delivering value relative to a buyer’s expectations.
Domino's Pizza
30-minute guarantee
Starting in 1973, Domino's Pizza had a guarantee that customers would receive their pizzas within 30 minutes of
placing an order or they would receive the pizzas free. The guarantee was reduced to $3 off in the mid 1980s. In
1992, the company settled a lawsuit brought by the family of an Indiana woman who had been killed by a
Domino's delivery driver, paying the family $2.8 million. The guarantee was dropped that same year because of
the "public perception of reckless driving and irresponsibility", according to then-CEO Tom Monaghan.
In December 2007, Domino's introduced a new slogan, "You Got 30 Minutes", alluding to the earlier pledge but
stopping short of promising delivery in a half hour.
In Malaysia and Singapore, a refund is instead substituted with a "Free Regular Pizza Voucher".
In India, the guarantee is for ₹300 ($5) and is valid for an order of less than 4 pizzas.

Exchange is the act of obtaining a desired object from someone

A transaction is marketing’s unit of measurement and consists of
a trade of values between two parties.
Relationship marketing builds relationships with valued
customers, distributors, dealers, and suppliers by promising and
consistently delivering high-quality products, good service, and
fair prices.
