I have never been in any CRM ( Customer Relationship management) or any program, but my relation with that shop i can put as Regular Customer.
They know me by face, and once they see they ask about my days back and life in general.
So i am already stolen by them as i trust what they advise me as i am kind of person/customer who needs informations when the product is unfamiliar or new to me (limited decison making).
I am a Clients, as more than a repeating customers, they can even call me when they have new African things.

Availability and distribution
That product is available in all small shops which sells African and Asians things.
The shop is just next to tram stop, and there is a parking place about 300metres from the shop.
The channel they used is:
1)Producer-Retailer-Consumer
2)Producer-Agents-Retailers-Consumer
So there is a good channel of distribution, and also the shop is reachable.
It can be called a Selective Distribution- use of only some available outlets to distribute it, as you can not find it in other shops than the Africans and asians shops.
Also other shops i have seen this product, si just next to metro Terminal and Bus Terminal and Tram Terminal, you can see how the shops are arranged to make it nicely available hence you can even do other shoppings as they are other shops nearby.

Pricing decisions vs martketing vs companies(7)
My product is a body lotion, so the price decision which affects this company is the Buyers Perceptions.
Because they are so many body lotions, so they have to put the price which buyers can afford so that to get their attention.
I can also say, they used a Penetration pricing (setting a price low the price of competing brands in order to penetrate a market and produce a larger unit sales volume).
So by using the lowest price and Buyers Perceptions, it touched me as at first i knew if its not good for my skin, i have not loose much.

The levels of the product i love.(no.5)
1.Augmented product: (support of the product)
The body cream, states that it made to make the skin natural and doesnt have mercuries or other ingredients which bleaches or affect the skin. And restrict to buy the one orginal within usage time not beyond expiring time, hence if it affects you they will care for effects if not combines used with other things.
2.Actual: (a composite of the features and all sorts in it)
The name cocoa butter cream, makes its brand name to sound attractive and something good.
Its also in quality as you know cocoa is the very good thing to skin and body.
It is packed in a way that not easy to break, and nice light colours in its container.
3.Core: The benefit or service
I am benefiting from it, as its so big and hence stays for long time, so am sure of using orginal thing at a long times, as well as i feel my skin so good, not need powders or extra body creams. I can use just with normal bathing soaps.
