Summary/Abstract: Loyalty evaluation is the the utmost gap in mosaic of loyalty surveys. Surveys of this field are fragmentary and the touch upon this problem exists only in the context of other surveys‘ purposes. Customer loyalty surveys of the latter two decades are generalized in the paper. Methods for customer loyalty evaluation are classified into three different content groups: 1) grounded on behavioural measures; 2) grounded on attitude measures; 3) multi-dimensional methods. Positive and negative aspects of each method group are identified. The topicality of objective customer loyalty evaluation under the circumstances of social economic changes nowadays is discussed, points of reference for systematic solution of this problem are formed: complex analysis of factors determining customer loyalty; multicriteria evaluation; estimation of quantitative parameters of organizational benefit dependence on customer loyalty level.
