INTRODUCTION TO THE COMPANY:
My first day at the office: I still remember, my first day at Doctor C was a Friday,
not one of our usual Fridays, but their Fridays were called Fun Fridays. My boss
was the one who answered the door, which I found to be very surprising . She was
wearing her home clothes and flip-flops, not the usual image which would pop into
ones mind when they think of an office. She took me around the house describing
whose office each room served as. Mine was on the first floor. I got formally
introduced to the team of seven, which was divided into three departments; three for
technological stuff, three for handling sales, and, last but not the least, my boss, Ms.
Mansi, head of marketing.
I got to share my office with the technological team because the space was
limited, and hence, I ended up making three amazing friends. Their coding flew over
my head though. My colleagues were very friendly and helpful, and I mixed right in
on the very first day.
I was given a heads up on the work that was to follow, which included:
1. Using Google analytics to look at the stats for the companys website:
http://doctorc.in/
2. Creating quality content for social media marketing.
3. Maintaining a spreadsheet for the analysis of various marketing channels
used.
The company had an internal chat application which made communication very quick
and simple. I understood, at the end of my tenure that communication played a key
role in any kind of relationship and that it was a major deal breaker. I was also
introduced to a website called Asana which helped people assign tasks and
schedule them accordingly.
Overall, my first day at the office was fantastic and I knew right away that Id
get a lot to learn.

What is a market?
A market can be defined as an organization which facilitates the exchange of goods.
Marketing: Simply put, it is a process of the society by which people get what they
want and need through creating, offering & exchanging products and value with
others. A demand is something that a customer is willing to pay for, and a want is
anything a customer has a desire for. When the customer can back his wants with
the power to purchase, the wants turn into demands.
On the other hand, a need is something that a customer finds to be very
important to his life and health. The final goal of marketing is to sell the product in
order to create profit for the producer.
Marketing finds out what consumers want, for example, a solution to a problem, and
then producing something that will satisfy that particular want; and then seeks the
best way to price, promote and distribute the product.
In this modern age of marketing, the focus has shifted from solely being product
oriented to being consumer oriented.
Aims or Objectives:
Smart application of marketing policies
Formulation of policies and implementation of the same for positive results
Analyse related problems and come up with solutions
Find sources for better info regarding market problems
Strengthen the current marketing efforts
Take suitable action as deemed necessary

Importance of marketing to the society:
The function of marketing plays a vital role in todays society. The following
information substantiates the same:
Marketing acts as a link between the customer and the producer. It also bring
new products to retail stores which will be available for purchase there after.
Helps improve the standard of living of the masses. When the goods are
produced on a large scale, the prices automatically fall and hence, the
reduced prices directly improve the standard of living.
Marketing at its highest efficiency cuts costs to the minimum, reducing prices
as a result, thereby increasing a customers purchasing power. This whole
process will play a vital role in increasing a nations income.
For uninterrupted flow of production, there will be a need for continuous
marketing efforts. This necessity for marketing will in turn produce many
employment opportunities.
When production is surplus, marketing helps sell the excess goods produced
in other markets where there is a need for them.
Importance of marketing to the Business:
One of the things that marketing does is that it helps spread the word about
the business to potential customers, without which they would never be aware
of a business offerings.
Once the word about the product or business is out, it highly increases the
chances of customers purchasing the product. Without marketing, the sales
might not happen, which will be a direct inhibiting factor to the success of the
business.
A companys success is also related to the reputation that it has. As the
reputation grows, the business will automatically flourish as the customers will
be compelled to go for a good product. This reputation can be built by taking
part in community programs, communicating effectively externally and by
8/11/2019 Marketing and its importance in aviation.

making available quality products. These efforts are all backed by marketing
efforts.
Marketing helps spread the word about a products or services price, not only
to the targeted customers, but also to its competition. Marketing helps the
business to be competitive and also helps it to try and win its customers
before its competitor does. In the absence of competition, newer or not so
famous companies would have little chance of ever achieving success. In
other words, marketing helps sustain healthy competition, thereby giving
newer or less famous companies a window of opportunity to be successful.
Market research: It is one the most important functions of marketing. It
researches your target customers and finds out what their needs are, the
current trends and then looks for a product to satisfy those needs. Also, it
involves finding important information about the competition, what their
products are and also at the success rate of their past marketing campaigns.
Even though marketing plays a vital role in the success of a business, it can turn
out to be very expensive. Businesses would probably have to spend 50% of its
sales in the very first year on marketing, followed by gradual reduction in thefollowing years, which would still total up to a substantial amount. The best
marketing efforts should therefore be a combination of web presence, P.R,
advertising through print and electronic media, community events, trade fairs etc.
Market Segmentation:
Market segment is defined as a group of customers who have enough in common
amongst them that they serve as a feasible base for a combination of factors of
the marketing mix. The process is known as market segmentation.

Marketing Mixrefers to the choices that an organization has to make in order bringits product or service to the market. The best known way till date used to define a
marketing mix is the 4Ps model by E J McCarthy.
An effective way to understand the model is by asking questions thatll help define
the marketing mix. Given below are a few examples.
4Ps:
1. Product:
What are the customers wants and needs?
The features itll need to meet those needs.
Any features left out?
Any expensive features that wont be useful to the customer?
What is its appearance like? How will customer experience be like?
The points on the basis of which it is differentiated to the competitors product.
2. Price:
How valuable is the product to the customer?
Comparison of price to competitors.
Will a reduction in price result in a higher market share?
What type of discounts should be offered?
Is there an established price point1for the product?
1Price at which demand is supposedly high
8/11/2019 Marketing and its importance in aviation.
11/34
AN ACCOUNT OF MY INTERNSHIP
ASHWIN RAJU Page 11
3. Place:
Where does the buyer look for your product?
Do they buy it online? Competitors strategy? How can you differentiate?
Is there a need for a sales force?
Do you need to attend trade fairs?
Is there a need to send samples to companies that make catalogues?
4. Promotion:
What kind of advertising channels will we be using? Is there an optimal time to promote?
Is your market seasonal?
Are there any issues thatll affect the launching of your product or any other
upcoming promotional activities?
What is the competitors strategy? Will that affect your choice of strategy?
The 4Ps is just one of the few models out there that can be used to define a
marketing mix. There is an other model called the 7Ps2, which is an extension of the
4Ps. In addition to the 4, the other three Ps are; people, processes and decisions
pertaining to physical localities.
Yet another model is the 4Cs3model. Here, the constituents
of a marketing mix are presented from the perspective of a buyer, which is exactly
opposite to the 4Ps model. Listed below are the 4Cs:
1. Customers needs and wants = Product2. Cost = Price
3. Convenience = Place
4. Communication = Promotion

It is the process of collecting information regarding consumers or target markets. It is
sometimes mistaken for marketing research, but the both arent one and the same.
Market research is with regards to the market, whereas marketing research mainly
focuses on the processes involved in marketing. It is a vital factor when it comes to
remaining competitive over your competitor. It makes available the information
needed to identity and analyse the needs of the market, the size of the market and
information regarding the competition. Market research is of two types; the primary
research which comprises of qualitative and quantitative research, and the
secondary research.
Factor Primary Secondary

Examples Questionnaires

For instance, the above table is an example of one method of primary research, i.e.
observation. I would, with the help of an analytics software keep a close track of
what people were looking for on our website. Also, I was able to determine whether
the information they were looking for (need) was available on our website or not.
This constant monitoring of peoples needs helped us improve our online database
and also proved profitable to the business.
In the above table, unique page views refers to the people who
looked at a particular page. Even if a particular person was to visit the pagerepeatedly, the unique page views would count that view as a single unit. That way,
we would have a realistic & unexaggerated number to draw our conclusions of
customers needs from. Also, our bounce rate numbers helped us to pin point the
glitches that caused high bounce rates and improve the same.

WHAT I LEARNT AND DID DURING MY TENURE AS AN INTERN
Marketing Channel Analysis
On the very first day of my internship, I was introduced to microsoft excel. The
company used excel sheets to keep track of their marketing efforts. Since DoctorC
was a start up, their lack of heavy financial potential was understandable. This is
where I realised that numbers played a very important guiding and deciding role, like
a lighthouse guiding the ships. I was given the responsibility of keeping track of the
feasibility of various marketing channels used. I learnt how to carry out basic
functions like making tables, writing formulas, analyse information from the excel
sheets and making conclusions. Id make a report of my weekly analysis and mail it
to my boss. As I got a hold of things down the road, I understood that some of our
marketing channels werent feasible. The numbers from the excel sheets sure did
help us in figuring out our marketing strategies. Below is an example of the
marketing channel analysis that I used to do on a weekly basis.

Conclusion: During my tenure as an intern, I concluded that two marketing
channels; SMS Retargeting & Google Ad words werent proving to be productive norfeasible for us and hence we put an end to both of them.
Advertising Channels
Another responsibility that I was given was to explore all the advertising options
available. This also was a process of elimination of classic advertising methods with
respect to DoctorC. As a part of this endeavour, I was to find out:
The prices of advertising in any particular media
The audience that they catered to
The market research information of their audience
The extent of feasibility of that particular channel
Their ability to cater to our needs as a customer
With regard to the task that I was given, I short listed a variety of options for the
same. The options included newspaper advertisements, mom and pop stores, radio
commercials, kiosks, old age homes, social groups & flyers.
1. Newspapers: Firstly, I started off by making a list of all the prominent
newspapers in the city. The, the mammoth task of compiling a list of all their
contact information followed. Once that was done, the next obvious thing was
to spend days on the phone and loads of emails initiating contact with each
and every one of them asking them for all the information stated above.

16/34
AN ACCOUNT OF MY INTERNSHIP
ASHWIN RAJU Page 16
Finally, after all that effort that went into it, we came to the conclusion that
newspaper advertisements, with their exorbitant prices would prove to be too costly
for us in the early stages of our growth. Hence, we thought that theyd come in handy
when we were no longer a budding organization.
Flyers: Next followed the task of designing and making sample flyers which could be
distributed through newspapers, magazines and other sources of print media. This
task demanded that I put my imagination and creativity into effect, also that I have an
understanding of the psychological effects of various colours on humans.
Colours play a very important role in persuading a customer to
buy a product. In marketing, it is vital to understand that customers place a much
higher importance on visual appearances than other features of a product. In our
case, our product was virtual, i.e. giving discounts on diagnostic tests. Hence, to get
the attention of the people through flyers, we decided to use information regarding
the relation between buyer behaviour and colours for the same. Following is a short
note on colours and their effects;
GreenGives off vibes of freshness, of being calm, relaxed and of peace.
The negatives include giving off the feelings of being bored & of sickness. Bluemakes a person feel cool, calm and conveys intelligence to customers.
The cons include the feelings of being sad, aloof and unfriendly.
YellowThe pros include feeling happy, optimistic, affectionate & fun loving.
The negative effects caused are that of anxiety & cautiousness.
BlackPros include being powerful, elegant, significant etc. The negative
effects include feelings of death, distress and abuse.
RedIs a very passionate colour. Stands for power, swiftness and bravery.The negatives include giving off vibes of danger and hostility.
PurpleRepresents luxury, of being revolutionary, of being divine and alert.
The negatives include feelings of being moody and depressed.
White - Pros involve being pure, innocent, honest and clear. Negatives
include feelings of being unfriendly, harsh & lacking excitement.
OrangeThe positives include being fun, powerful & secure. The negatives -
gives off the vibes of being frustrating and immature.

Once we decided on what colours to go with, I came up with the following flyer
samples.

Radio Commercials:
The third option that we came up with was to advertise through local radio
commercials. This involved thinking outside the box again, with the goal of coming
up with something catchy as well as practical. This also involved liaising with
musicians who were willing to write radio jingles for us.
The next step involved liaising with radio channels and asking
them questions regarding their customer base, the demographics of their customers,
their peak times and finally, their tariff. This survey ended up giving us some
interesting facts; most importantly, that the largest number of radio listeners were
home makers, which we figured werent the ones taking financial decisions.
To conclude, even this option was abandoned because it did not cater to our target
audience.

ASHWIN RAJU Page 19
Kiosks:
Another advertising channel we decided to focus on was the setting up of kiosks at
seminars, conventions or any place where people gathered in large groups. For this
purpose, we started liaising with various meet-up groups in the city who were bound
to have gatherings in large numbers. Finally, we decided to partly sponsor an event
conducted by The Toastmasters Club in exchange for setting up of a kiosk.
Some other clubs asked for exorbitant sums of money, going up to Rs.25000/day.
The end result of the kiosks was not too productive though. We hardly got enough
leads from the kiosk.
Old Age Homes:
Once the flyers were up and running, I came up with another idea to use them. I
figured that old age homes were perfect for our target market. Later, I contacted
almost a dozen old age homes, liaised with them and then ended up visiting each
one of them, posting the flyers up and spreading the word to all present. This
experiment of ours bore fruit though, with a considerable number of leads coming
from old age homes. They still continue to produce leads.
Social groups:
This experiment involved compiling the list of all the social groups in the city, liaising
with them to advertise for us in exchange for a commission. Sadly for us, none of
them were interested in our proposal. This proved to be the worst experiment of all.
Mom & Pop Stores:
This was our most important experiment and the very last experiment that I worked
on. This experiment lasted for one whole month.
To begin with, in one of our brainstorming sessions, we came up with
the proposal of asking individual and chain diagnostic stores to help us with
spreading the word about DoctorC. The diagnostic stores were a definite bet since
itd be profitable for either one of us. The doubt was regarding the effectiveness of
mom & pop stores to get the job done and hence, we decided to test it.
8/11/2019 Marketing and its importance in aviation.
20/34
AN ACCOUNT OF MY INTERNSHIP
ASHWIN RAJU Page 20
For this purpose, I compiled a list of all the diagnostic stores in one part of town.
Later, I visited every one of them putting forward our proposal; to pay them
Rs.10/their customers phone number that theyd send us. A few factors of the
experiment:
No minimum targets
Pitch DoctorC to all their customers, try to get their phone number in return for
a compensation of Rs.10/number.
Observations of the experiment:
Customer base was comprised of mostly illiterate people.
The people werent willing to give their phone numbers.
Literate people preferred to go to chain diagnostic stores.
The stores already had a tie up with a practicing doctor, which was
contradictory to us.
The store owners werent interested in the added effort.
Wouldnt pitchDoctorC to a female customer base.
Total number of leads in a month from over a dozen storesnot greater than
5.
The end result: As a result of an experiment that lasted one month and lots of
travelling on my part, we were able to conclude that the mom and pop stores werent
going to be of any use to us. Hence, we eliminated them as a potential option and
went on to make a deal with one of the leading diagnostic stores chain in the city.

INTERNET MARKETING
Internet marketing refers to the process of marketing and advertising products on the
web and using email to propel sales via e-commerce, in accompaniment to web sites
and sales via e-mail. Internet marketing is generally used in addition to traditional
forms of advertising discussed above.
Internet marketing is sub divided into three parts:
Web marketing comprises of e-commerce web sites, online websites
specializing in marketing, results on search engines & results of search via
search engine optimization.
Email marketing is again two fold; it can be used for advertising and also for
promoting messages pertaining to marketing via e-mails to existing as well as
prospective buyers.
Social media marketing is all about advertising as well as marketing a product
through social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin &
YouTube.
The importance of internet marketing:
Convenient: As a benefit of internet marketing, a business can operate 24
hours a day irrespective of weather conditions, availability of staff, opening &
closing timings, employees over time payments etc. Also, it makes things
convenient for the customers, as they can browse the products from
anywhere and at anytime and buy according to their convenience, without any
hassles involved.
Huge Reach: Today, with the advent of internet, The World has become asmaller place. It enables to open up business anywhere without the need to
setting a physical shop up. This helps widen ones target market. Also, goods
can be exported to international destinations without having to hire distributors
overseas. However, selling to international destinations would require an
understanding of local markets and their rules. This is where hiring of
localization services would come in handy.
The price: Online marketing efforts are much cheaper than a physical store.
There wont exist the costs of maintenance, property rental etc. Also, there
8/11/2019 Marketing and its importance in aviation.
22/34
AN ACCOUNT OF MY INTERNSHIP
ASHWIN RAJU Page 22
wont be any need for stock in the store. Stock can be purchased with respect
to the demand.
Personalization: One major advantage of internet marketing is that it enables
one to keep a track of customers preferences and buying history, which can
then be used to personalize offers for them. By keeping a track of the
websites that a customer visits, and by keeping track of ones interests, a
business can make offers that target those interests.
Relationship: Another positive aspect of internet marketing is that the internet
paves the way for building relationships with customers and also helps retain
them. When a customer purchases something online, the businesses have
the option of following up with e-mails to confirm the purchase as well as to
thank the customer for the same. That sets the beginning of a relationship.
Later, sending offers that are personalized and special will help maintain that
relationship. Also, customers can be requested to give a review of their
experience on the website, which helps build confidence for future customers,
as well as creating the sense of a community.
Social: The last, and probably the most important aspect of internet marketing
is that it helps make the social media advantageous to a business. According
to a study conducted by the Harvard Business School, there is a relationship
between social media and growth of online revenue. According to that, a
group of buyers who showed interest to the influence that social media made,
increased sales by 5%. This sort of influence can be taken advantage of by
adding social networking and its tools to ones internet marketing campaigns.
To conclude, we see how internet marketing opens up doors to massive potential for
online revenue, as well as creating a business that runs 24 hours a day, 7 days aweek. To top it off, internet marketing helps build customer confidence through the
presence of social media, which is one of the most important keys for retaining a
customer. All in all, internet marketing is gold for ones marketing efforts, and
anybody who isnt already using it is missing out on a fortune.

LEAN MARKETING FUNNEL
To being with, this was another important thing that I had to read up on and
understand. A lot of emphasis was laid on this particular topic due to the fact that it
applied most definitely to start-ups. Hence, I was given the task of understanding
what it was about and then had to implant my understanding into effect with the
guidance of my mentor. The following is a note on the lean marketing funnel.
Almost always, start-ups face trouble in the form of convincing people to use their
products. This problem is almost always caused because of the mind set that start-
ups have. Start-ups focus all their efforts on to three factors; the traffic that they
receive, the users generated and the revenue that is generated. The following flow
chart explains how most of the start-ups think about their user flow:
First Phase: Get traffic
Second Phase: Dont know
Third Phase: Obtain Users
Fourth Phase: Dont know
Fifth Phase: Earn profits
The main reason behind this is that start-ups dont really concentrate on how the
visitors to their site convert to users, or how exactly the users convert to being a part
of their active users. Also, the three phases mentioned above are not the most
important phases of user flow, but the most important phases are the ones that most
of them fail to identify.
Hence, any start up that faces trouble in getting users should first try to
figure out their user flow. The following is the user flow for any typical product:
People get to know about your product
Then they visit the website
Next, they register for an account and give it a try
They repeat that a couple of times over the next couple of
weeks
Later, they will refer a couple of their friends
At last, they pay you
8/11/2019 Marketing and its importance in aviation.
24/34
AN ACCOUNT OF MY INTERNSHIP
ASHWIN RAJU Page 24
The above user flow is a typical model for most of the products on the web.
User States
One very important thing to understand is that every person, at every step in the user
flow has an equivalent user state. For instance, when someone visits your site for
the first time, they are called visitors. Next, if they register and use the product, they
turn into users. Later, if they continue using the product, they will be termed as active
users.
So, at any instance, one will have many visitors with every one of them at various
user states. When taking into account a group of your users, only a particular portion
of them will be active users. Hence, in lean marketing, the marketer is called agrowth hacker. The growth hacker is primarily responsible for finding out ways to get
the users from one state to the other, as smoothly as possible. Figuring this out can
seem to be a Herculean task sometimes. This is where the lean marketing funnel
comes in.
The Funnel
Sometimes, across various products, user states and user flows vary in a very broadmanner. Therefore, it would be sensible to break the user flow into a set of stages.
The set comprises of five stages which are applicable to almost any product.

Acquisition
The visitors visit your homepage or any other page through various sources,
sometimes from the press, as a result of traffic from search engines, sometimes from
blogs or simply by hearing about your page from someone else.
Activation
Once the people visit your website, they might end up having a happy or bitter
experience depending on their interaction with the site. A happy experience would
result in the visitor probably taking an initiative like the setting up of an account or by
submitting their on the site in return for more information.
Retention
This stage of the marketing funnel is defined as one where your users turn into
active users. As a result, they keep returning with the intention of using your product
and stay engaged every single time.
Referral
If your active users are happy with your offering, they will go on to share it with the
colleagues, friends or relatives who then will have to be taken through the whole
process.
Revenue
In this stage, one can legalise their customers using their product through one or
more of the following ways; maybe through advertising or in the form of lead
generation, development of business or plain subscriptions.
Referral, which is a variation of the process of
acquisition, is considered to be separate from acquisition in a lean marketing funnel,
primarily for two reasons. Firstly, a start-up will need to have a considerable base of
active users for them to refer a product to their friends. It isnt necessary that all start-
ups have a base of active users in the beginning, which deletes referral as a form of
acquisition to them.
Secondly, in growth hacking, referral is another world in itself.

Advantages of lean marketing
Talking about the lean marketing funnel, there are three major advantages to it.
Firstly, once you setup an analytics software for your website, you can easily
measure the conversion rate for the people coming to your website, helping identify
the glitches in your flow of users. For instance, most start-ups have a good rate of
success in their acquisition phase, but then activation part seems to take a hit, which
means that the people dont end up registering for an account.
In a few other cases, start-ups see a lot of people creating their
accounts on the website but very few of them turn out to become active users of that
website. This can be identified as a problem of retaining customers.
In any case, the solution for the problem is not by sending heavier traffic to your site
because it would be irrelevant to focus on your problem of retention with a solution
pertaining to acquisition. This is exactly where the analytics software will help pin
point the bottleneck in the funnel.
The second advantage one can get as a result of using the
lean marketing funnel is that it gives us a way to identify and then categorize tricks
and techniques, also called growth hacks, which can be put to test with the hope of
overcoming a road block in the funnel. For example, once you know youre facing the
problem of activation, using a lean marketing funnel will make it easier for you to
figure out growth hacks which were used to solve the problem of retention by others
in the past. An example for this would be, when you visit a website as a result of
something interesting that you clicked on, one of the activation techniques is that
youd be requested to register for an account in return for amazing information at
regular intervals.
The third and final advantage of a lean marketing funnel is that it creates the
scenario for marketing that can be approached in a lean manner. Lean marketing,
simply put, is highly focused marketing.

Growth Hacks That We Implemented
As a start-up which was still in its early stages of growth, we at DoctorC, with the
help of our analytics software were able to identify that we were facing a lot of
trouble in getting users to our website. That is when decided to experiment with tried
and tested growth hacks to solve our problem of acquisition. We carried out the
following experiments:
Blog: One of the most famous ways to get traffic to ones site is through
blogging or by asking guests to come blog. The reasons why they work very
well in getting traffic is because they have a lot of keywords in them. These
keywords are recorded by Google and hence, when anybodys search
includes these keywords, the blog shows up on the results. Also, blogs
educate people by giving them information. The people who receive
information about your offering are more on the brighter side of moving
through the funnel. Finally, people consider blogs to be written by experts or
well informed people, and hence people would prefer a product produced by
an expert compared to a person who they perceive as a nobody.
DoctorCs blog:http://blog.doctorc.in/
Presentations: Another great way to get traffic to your website is by giving
presentations at conferences or places where people gather in large numbers.
One of the main advantages is that almost all conferences are recorded on
video. These videos can then be uploaded to social networking sites or
attached to e-mail campaigns, or can go up on your blog, counting as quality
content. Also, presentations are a great way to persuade people in large
numbers, especially groups that are relevant to your product.
Search Engine Optimization: It is defined as the process of increasing a
websites visibility in the results of a search engines original search results.
Once a website can optimize their search engine results standings, the result
would be an increase in user flow. This can be done by creating quality
content in the forms of electronic books, how to guides, guest blogs or blogs,
conference presentations etc.

THE AIRLINE INDUSTRYS NEED FOR MARKETING
From the pieces discussed above, it is very obvious that solid marketing is vital for
the success of especially a start-up, but also for every other organization out there.
For the purpose of this paper, the airline industrys need for marketing is going to be
discussed in the following pages.
For there to be competition within the airline industry is obvious, but very
few would be aware of the fact that the airline industry also faces tough competition
from other industries. This competition is the result of other industries satisfying
customers needs better than the airline industry. Upon research, the following were
found to pose a lot of competition to the airline industry:
TRANSPORTATION
Transport is a social need for every individual.
Individuals satisfy this need in less monetary terms.
Surface transport poses a huge competition for the airline industry.
Surface transport can provide a level of service in terms of comfort and door
to door service, which is sometimes better than the airlines
In the future, this form of competition is likely to become more prominent
because the governments are planning to invest on improvement of surface
transport, especially through rail.
COMMUNICATION
Air transportation was used extensively by multinational companies for theirmeetings.
Travel was essential for their meetings back then.
With the advancements in technology, the world has seen a revolution based
on video-conferencing, conference-calling and e-mail.

In the future, video conferencing will become even cheaper and also better in
quality. As an effort to support that, many companies are now investing a lot
in video conferencing suites for their staff.
With the recent economic depression burning a hole in almost everyones
pockets, the companies have resorted to cost cutting, which also means
cutting down on air travel for business purposes.
LEISURE
Thirdly, airlines today are facing intense competition from the leisure industry.
Customers are faced with the choice of how to best use both their disposable
income and disposable time.
Disposable income can be defined as the amount of money that is
available to the households for spending and saving after their taxes have been
accounted for.
Disposable time is defined as the amount of time a person can afford to spend
without facing any adverse consequences.
In the past, disposable leisure time was used for taking holidays that involved
air travel. Today though, people have changed their preferences and prefer to
spend their disposable income and time on buying new consumer items.
LOGISTICS
Another front where the airline industry faces stiff competition is the freight
industry.
On that front, it is rarely possible for airlines to compete successfully against
surface transport on the basis of price.
The main advantage that surface transport provides is good logistics at an
affordable price. Hence, people are showing more interest towards surface
transport rather than air transport.

INFORMATION
Finally, the last front at which the air freight industry poses stiff competition, or has
been already ousted out of is the information industry.
In the mid 1980s, newspapers were the classic air cargo in the sense that
outdated paper had no value and therefore speed was of the essence in
getting them to their market quickly.
But now, to cut costs, newspaper publishers have come up with a new
alternative by using satellite printing stations. That way, the papers can be
printed near to where they will be sold and distributed by truck for a much
lower price.
Looking at the competition that the airline industry faces from the above discussed
factors, Ive arrived at the following recommendations:
In the case of transportation, where airlines have the possibility of facing stiff
competition from rail transport, the choice between the two would be
dependant on four factors: cost of travel, total time for the journey, time spent
waiting & ease of access at the start and end points. Out of the 4, the 2 mainfactors that airlines should focus upon are the waiting time and the ease of
access, because this is where rail transport is better comparatively.
In the case of waiting time, the check in process takes
hours compared to rail transport which is almost instantaneous. Also, airports are
usually built outside city limits which makes accessing them quite difficult, but rail
stations are always located in the centre of the city.
There is also an alliance possible between the two where
rails can get in PAX from cities without international airports to cities that have
one.
e-mail campaigns: Another strategy that airlines should implement is the use
of e-mail campaigns. The most important thing to focus on would be to get the
approval of the people. Once that is done, an analytics system can be
installed to analyse the results of the campaigns and growth hackingtechniques can be used to improve numbers in various parts of the marketing

funnel. Special emphasis should be laid on the kind of message that will be
sent, on the basis of the needs of the target audience.
Airlines apart from low cost airlines should be offering value to the customers
by making available new features according to the passengers needs.
For instance, Etihad Airways has given a premium
outlook to air travel by adding a suite to its offerings for passengers who prefer
the luxury. It is all about looking at the product through the customers viewpoint,
also called lean marketing, and then delivering that need. Etihad has also gone
out of their way to provide flying nannies!
Social Media: All the airlines should make it a point to be active on social
media, not just to create a social presence for themselves but as an
additional step for offering a platform of communication between the
passengers and the airline. The platform can also be used to share
important information or for the purpose of creating contests to engage
users or for providing quality content to the customer.
Other Strategies: Airlines should also implement other strategies like using
or switching to fuel efficient aircraft to cut their fuel costs. Also, on short
haul routes, airlines should abandon business class or first class and offer
aircrafts serving a single class which will offer a value for money.
To conclude, weve seen the threats that the aviation industry faces from within the
same industry as well as from different industries. The future of aviation is definitely
going to be very challenging, especially with the de-regulation. The competition for
the airline industry will be tough, but with the right marketing strategies and the ability
to adapt to new conditions immediately will secure a promising for future for the
airlines.
