Large geographic network. Cost savings via joint purchasing, marketing, planning, etc. Higher number of flights offered. (increases potential of sales) Relatively seamless travel experience. Code sharing. (Increased route rationalization.)
Increased opportunity to reach economies of scale. Assist in elevating brand awareness (i.e. Thai airlines, much greater exposure)
Facilities in airports. Services in regions. Seamless travel experience is inconsistent. Lack of innovation. Alliance is essentially a facilitator, not an innovator. IT systems (incompatibility of systems)
Expansion in INDIA. Further integration of services (i.e. Facilities in airports, services in regions, IT systems, etc) Development of tools to measure effectiveness of alliance (metrics). i.e. Measure which passengers were brought in as a result of alliance. Also, measure the intangible benefits that the alliance exudes across the board.
Too many alliance members. Can lead to conflicts of interest, which in turn can lead to dwindling competitive advantage. Airline industry is fragile which poses many uncertainties. Terror threats 9/11,26/11. Rise in popularity of low cost travel carriers.
Poor integration can lead to lose of consumer confidence in the alliance. (i.e. Ansett Australia went bankrupt in 2001 causes a huge disruption in baggage transportation resulting in negative publicity for the entire alliance)
Geographic :customers are located globally with varying wants and needs or behaviors and the organization attempts to exploit this by providing airline services to major cities/ routes evidenced. Psychographic – attempts to capture what is driving the customer’s behavior, such as values. variations of cabin classes (First, Business and Executive Economy) to meet the product needs and wants of people.
Behavioral – Segmenting the market based on observable issues on consumer behaviour when consuming the products. Characteristics include frequency of consumption, buyer readiness and commitment. The corporate market tends to be a frequent flyer that could gain benefits from SIA’s Frequent Flyer program (KrisFlyer and PPS Club), in return for consumer loyalty to the airline.
Positioning is not what you do to a product; it is what you do to the mind of a client.
Target high-international travelers. The goal of the campaign is to help travelers understand the benefits of the Alliance and encourage them to travel on Star Alliance member carriers.
Marketing communications objectives To develop Brand awareness. To increase demand/sales for offering. To change customer attitudes/perceptions about the firm. To encourage repeat traveling. To become highly competitive.
Advertising design : all under one umbrella Type of appeal : humour Target people business class people Slogan : The way the earth connects Media selection : business journals , newspaper & television
promotional tools to be selected Television Business journals Corporate newspaper
Percentage of the budget Television 20% Business journals & magazines 50% Corporate newspaper 30%
must focus on moving forward is to further integrate their services more offering to customers a much larger travel coverage area, frequent flyer miles, etc. create a more robust centralized IT infrastructure that integrates all systems. develop the necessary tools to quantify the alliances absolute value.
Thank You
