Abstract
This paper studies the influence of offline RSSQ retailing store service quality, online store ESQ E-service quality and O2O MCISQ multi-channel integration service quality on traditional retailers' customer loyalty as well as the relation of them three in multi-channel retailing. 380 customers with both offline and online shopping experience at the same retailer's store are investigated. Through the structural equation model, we find out that in multi-channel retailing, RSSQ and MCISQ have a positive influence on customer loyalty; RSSQ and ESQ have a positive influence on MCISQ; the influence of ESQ on customer loyalty is not significant; ESQ has a strong correlation with RSSQ. These conclusions indicate that on one hand, retailers should focus more on RSSQ and ESQ, because they contribute to improve MCISQ. On the other hand, retailers should strengthen the coordination between RSSQ and ESQ in order to further enhance MCISQ and as a result, the customer loyalty.
