  • United Airlines Marketing Strategy

    610 Words  | 2 Pages

    Determining the marketing strategy for a massive airline, like United Airlines, is fairly difficult and extremely complex. Why? Because each city, season, route, and time of day will have some minor to major difference in how the airline presents itself. The difficulty in marketing and advertising for an airline is harder than other industries because each airline is selling thousands of different products. At first glance, United is selling flights, and that seems to encompass one product. However, selling a flight from Denver to Tokyo on a Monday is extremely different than selling a flight from Cleveland to Cincinnati on a Saturday night. The people flying that route, the cost, the airplane flow, the services provided, and the frequency/length of the flights all vary greatly from route to route, and the marketing strategies will fall in line with those difference.

  • Qantas Market Segmentation

    1010 Words  | 3 Pages

    The airline industry has long attempted to segment the air travel market in order to effectively target its constituents. The classic airline model consists of First Class, Business Class and Economy, and the demographics that make up the classes have both similarities and differences to the other classes. For instance there may be similarities between business class travellers on a particular flight, but they will not all be travelling for the same reason. An almost-universal characteristic of air travel is that customers do not fly for the sake of flying; the destination is the important element and the travel is a by-product, a means-to-an-end that involves the necessity of an aircraft that gets the customer from point A to point B. Because the reasons can differ greatly in the motivations for a customer wanting to fly, it can be difficult to divide the market into discrete segments, that is, there is always going to be overlap in the preferences and characteristics of any given segment. With that in mind, the commonalities that are shared between the clientele that make up the respective classes can easily withstand analysis.
