Sumario:Customer satisfaction and loyalty are managerial benefits that are strategic objectives of most firms. The marketing services literature suggests some predictors for these benefits; however there are still some gaps in the research. This paper investigates the perceived innovation of customers in the services context as a predictor of satisfaction and loyalty. The collected data were analyzed by statistical tests, including structural equation modeling, and the results indicate strong bonds between perceived innovation, satisfaction, and loyalty.
