In this sense, the communicational potential of the internet and the way marketing migrates to the digital area are highlighted. In addition, the importance of customer relationship management (CRM) is demonstrated in the development of the loyalty process, using its personalisation and customisation of the customer.

Marketing focuses on relationships and convergence, investing in attracting new members and maintaining them in a lasting way. This commitment of brands to attract and create engagement with the customer has as its main purpose, to create loyalty, with a view to future brand loyalty.
