The aim of this paper is to present a theoretical model of the establishment of the value created to an enterprise by consumers, which would allow a complex measuring of the benefit of the exchange of relationships based on the totality of the features significant to the exchange of relationships. The problem of an increasing concern about with the form of the relationship exchange in the theoretical and practical context of marketing calls for the need to identify the specific features of the relationship exchange, which create the value of exchange with the consumer for the company. The concept of the relationship marketing dictates the measurement of the consumer valuation for the company not only in the financial and/or exchange duration variables, but also socio-emotional features of the exchange.It can be argued that the methods of the assesment of the e consumer valuation for the company and the models, which they create, are not adapted to the specific marketing concept and exclude the features of value-generating exchange for the company, which are characteristic of that concept. The article aims at the substantiattion of the hypothesis that the concept of the marketing of relationships dictates the measuring of the value created to an enterprise by the consumers not only by means of the financial variable and / or the variable of the lack of exchange, but also the socioemotional features of the exchange. The following methodology has been applied to confirm the hypothesis: proceeding from the system analysis of the research, the main features of the relationships characteristic of the exchange, which are interpreted as the significant variables for the measurement of the value of exchange have been marked; the totality of the features is used to create a new model of the establishment of the value created to an enterprise by consumers needed to measure the return from the relationships, describing the criteria of selection of the variables and the principles of their calculation.

Nurturing relationships with major donors is a priority for nonprofits, and “relationship fundraising” is the dominant paradigm. This grounded theory study addressed practical needs and a dearth of research by analyzing how fundraisers develop relationships. In a first-of-its-kind study, we interviewed 20 pairs of higher education fundraisers and major donors ( n = 40) from multiple U.S. institutions. We discovered five tiers of relationships from a basic connection, personalized association, confident relationship, purposeful partnership, to a consequential bond. Fundraisers initiated the progression until the final tier; the theoretical model shows their intentionality in the relationships’ development. Major gifts occurred in all tiers. The model illustrates how fundraisers build relationships, explores donors’ expectations, and affirms the relational nature of major gift fundraising. It provides some of the only empirical evidence regarding major donors, and the relationship fundraising philosophy touted in practitioner literature. The analysis reveals connections to theories from social psychology and relationship marketing.

The purpose of the study is to determine the criteria for segmentation of consumers of housing and communal services and build a model of their needs as a basis for the formation of marketing relationships for the management organization in order to increase the effectiveness of the introduction of smart technologies in the housing and communal services market. The introduction of smart technologies in the sphere of housing and communal services directly depends on the development of the relationship marketing as a technology for coordinating interests of all stakeholders in the market under consideration. In relation to the market of housing and communal services (HCS), the relationship marketing has been studied very little, which is due to the weak development of the categorical and methodological apparatus of the concept itself, as well as the complexity and multidimensionality of the subject-object structure of the housing and communal services market as an object of research. The housing and utilities market is a complex system that includes two clusters: the utility and housing segments which differ in service parameters, market types, and the composition of market entities. The article analyzes key barriers to the introduction of smart technologies in the market of housing and communal services. Besides, the segmentation of consumers is carried out; a model of the hierarchy of needs of consumers of housing and communal services is proposed; the relationship between the needs and the selection of specific smart technologies for managing an apartment building is revealed.
