CRM in Aviation industry

Cont…• The Gartner Group states that “CRM is a business
strategy designed to optimize profitability, revenue and customer satisfaction”.
• To achieve this the integration of people, processes and technologies is required in a collective effort to:

– Grow existing customer base through expanded service offerings that target untapped travel opportunities
– Retain most valuable customers by understanding and proactively addressing individual values and preferences.
CRM focuses on• Customer acquisition –
– Who are the profitable customers ?– How do we attract them?
• Customer development – – How do we deliver what the customer wants?– How they want it?– When they want it to optimize profits and revenue?
• Customer retention –– How do we build and sustain customer loyalty?
CRM need to be
There are many means of achieving these goals, including:• Understanding customer value and lifecycle to prioritize
marketing and service resources• Using customer information to target promotional offers
and cross-selling activities effectively• Using customer information in the design and
development of products and services• Recognizing customers as individuals at all customer-
contact points • Offering personalized or mass-customized service• Utilizing multiple alternate channels for marketing, sales
and service transactions in order to improve service and reduce cost
• Increasing the “share of customer” through greater penetration of travel related products.
Why & How
• Customer relationships are the key to airline business growth.
• Airlines must take absolute responsibility for a customer's satisfaction throughout the "want-it-buy-it-and-use-it" experience.
• This requires learning and tracking customers' needs, behaviors, and lifestyles and using this information to create a specific value proposition.
• This strategy is the path to consumer loyalty
CRM in passenger airlines extends beyond traditional sales, service, marketing and loyalty to include all of the touch points in a passenger’s travel experience.
