Research results confirmed that the level of income has a significant influence on customers’ attitude towards loyalty determinants in Croatia.Conclusions: Besides the scientific contribution, this research on customers’ loyalty also has practical implications important when undertaking further steps for developing conceptual models of customers’ loyalty.
