While many researchers have made contributions to the now extensive literature on service quality, there is much less research on what constitutes delight in service quality and how organizations can delight customers. This article examines the differences between customer satisfaction and customer delight, notably the benefits of delighting rather than merely satisfying customers. It describes how to delight customers, outlines how to implement a successful customer delight program, shows how to measure customer delight, and discusses the potential pitfalls of doing so.
