What is Process Essays (Examples)?

A process essay is fundamentally different from other types of academic writing assignments.  In fact, it is closer to technical writing than to other types of academic writing. That is because a process essay describes a process that leads to a specific outcome.  There are two approaches to the process essay.  The first approach is often referred to as a directional process essay and is the simpler of the two approaches; it describes the steps necessary to complete a task.  The second approach to the process essay does more than outline steps, it also analyzes or explains the steps involved in the process.  The wording of your assignment will be important when you are trying to determine which approach to take while writing your process essay.  

The introduction of your process essay needs to accomplish several things.  First, it needs to introduce the process you are going to describe, and give background information about that process, when such information is necessary.  Next, it needs to identify your audience.  Identifying your audience does not require actually saying the targeted audience for your essay, but, if your reader needs a certain educational, technical, or professional background to understand the essay, then the introduction provides a great opportunity for you to provide that material.

The body of the essay involves your actual descriptions of the process.  For simple directional process essays, the body of the essay involves a step-by-step description of each part of the process.  For analytical process essays, in addition to outlining the steps you might explain them to the reader or analyze whether the steps are necessary to the process and make the process more efficient, or should be eliminated or changed in order to maximize efficiency and performance.

Finally, the conclusion of your essay will reiterate what you hope to achieve with the process described in the essay.  If you have analyzed the process and found it lacking, the conclusion may also describe suggestions for further study or review.

Relationship marketing strategies and business applications
Relationship marketing is one of the fastest growing research topics in business and marketing today. The premise of relationship marketing is very broad and includes or should include external and internal relationship building as a reciprocal factor for firm success. Successful relationship marketing, according to the literature, results in high productivity, high employee and customer satisfaction, low employee and customer attrition and ultimately high profitability and success. According to businessdictionary.com relationship marketing is defined as: Marketing activities that are aimed at developing and managing trusting and long-term relationships with larger customers. In relationship marketing, customer profile, buying patterns, and history of contacts are maintained in a sales database, and an account executive is assigned to one or more major customers to fulfill their needs and maintain the relationship (n.d.) Yet, fundamentally, this definition of relationship marketing (RM) demonstrates only one aspect of its purpose, which is ultimately for the firm to develop both internal (employee) and external (customer) relationships by building and maintaining professional and possibly even personal relationships with all members of the firm community. The defining desire of relationship marketing is to make each participating member, be it a large or even in some cases small customers, firm employees and even suppliers all feel as if they are valued and respected. The goal of relationship marketing being to make each feel important to the firm and supported in whatever way possible. This work will discuss RM in these terms, as both an internal and external tool to support firm success arguing the thesis that relationship marketing is both an external and internal component of success as well as a vital component for successful marketing of firms. To perform this analysis the work will first look at a base of literature that supports either internal or external relationship marketing or both and then use this information to investigate an existing firm which states a mission focused on both internal and external relationship marketing and reports success. The firm analyzed will report factors of success in this process using a holistic relationship marketing mission and will; report high customer and employee satisfaction, low levels of employee and customer attrition, higher productivity and higher profitability as compared to a previous mission structure.
