2. DIGITAL MARKETING

It is the promotion of products or brands through one or more medium of electronic media, it is completely different from traditional way of marketing. It usually uses a set of channels and methods that enable an organisation to analyse marketing campaigns and understand what is best and what is worst in terms of overall performance. Or the Digital Marketing can also be classified as marketing of services or solutions on Internet irrespective of the medium. It is also referred as Online marketing, web marketing or internet marketing. The methods of digital marketing are as follows: Search Engine Optimization commonly called as SEO, Search Engine Marketing (SEM), data-driven marketing, content marketing, social media marketing and many more but these are one of the prominent methods which are used.

Digital Marketing is so unescapable that consumers have access to information at any time and at any place they want. Gone are the days when the messages people got about your products or service came from you and consisted of only what you wanted them to know. Digital Media is an ever-growing source of entertainment, news, shopping and social interaction and consumers are now exposed not just to what your company says about your brand, but what the media, friends, relatives, peers, etc, are saying as well. And they are more likely to believe them than you. People want brands they can trust, companies that know them, communications that are personalized and relevant, and offers tailored to their needs and preferences.

The growth of digital marketing is inseparable from technology development. One of the key points in the start of was in 1971, where Ray Tomlinson sent the very first email and his technology set the platform to allow people to send and receive content through different machines. Though, the more recognisable period as being the start of Digital Marketing is 1990, as it was the time when Archie search engine came into existence for FTP sites. In 1980s the capacity of computer to store data was large enough to store huge volumes of customer information. Companies started choosing online techniques such as database marketing rather than limited list broker. These types of databases allowed organisations to track customer information more efficiently. With the server/client architecture and popularity of personal computers, the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) came and became the core part of the marketing technology. With increase in competition day by day the companies added service like marketing, sales, services applications and also it became easy to update customer data once internet came in to the world. This further led to creation of first clickable banner advertisement which went onboard in year 1994 and was named as “You Will” campaign by AT&T and in four months over 40% people clicked it.

In year 2007 the concept of marketing automation came into existence to solve the problem of non-registered domain retailers. The evolution of digital media was estimated at 4.5 trillion online ads served annually with digital media spend at 48% growth in 2010. The main reasons for digital marketing being used extensively is the benefits you get like rapid increase in Website traffic, content performance, lead generation, attribution modelling, etc. An increase in advertising stems from businesses employing Online Behavioural Advertising (OBA) to tailor advertising for internet users but OBA raises concern of consumer privacy and data protection. Digital marketing is also known as web marketing in Italy and in USA it is still called as or known as the online marketing but Worldwide the term digital marketing has become common especially after the year 2013. The use of Digital marketing has led to a huge growth in terms of online services and specially user or customer experience and moreover it has changed the way the Marketing is seen today.

As the number of sites on the Web increased in the late 1990s, search engines started appearing to help people find information quickly. Search engines developed business models to finance their services such as pay per click programs offered by open text. In year 2000, Google started its own advertisements on search pages through AdWords. In year 2007, pay per click program became the primary money-maker for search engine businesses. Also, Yahoo & Microsoft collaborated to beat Google in year 2010 but still google leads the search engine industry. Interestingly, the search engine optimization consultants started offering help to businesses  to understand about and use the advertising opportunities offered by search engines, and several new companies focusing primarily on marketing was promoted by Danny Sullivan in year 2001 to cover the range of activities in performing SEO, handling paid listings at the search engines, submitting sites to directories and developing online marketing strategies for businesses, organisations and individuals.

2.1.3 Comparison between SEO and SEM-

The main difference between the two is that SEO or Search engine optimization is a core part of Search engine marketing only. Both solutions or products are used for increasing visibility of websites or webpages in search engines. Search engine optimization aims in increasing or getting better ranking for your website in search whereas the search engine marketing aims by using methods through which you can get more search engine visitors. Basically SEO & SEM are two supports of one marketing job and they both run parallelly to produce best results.

2.1.4 Social Media Marketing-

Social media marketing is a strong and reliable way for businesses of any kind or size to reach more people in order to increase their sales and develop their brand.

A strategy is made by planning and further planning is a 3 stage process which is undertaken rigorously.

Planning

Marketing management is a process which uses the term Digital marketing planning. It speaks about the first stage of forming a digital marketing strategy for the wider digital marketing system. The main difference among digital & traditional marketing is that the digital one uses digital tools for communication like Social, Web, Mobile.

Stages of Planning  

The DMP (Digital Marketing Planning) is divided into three stages by Dr Dave Chaffey. His approach says that any kind of business looking to use a successful digital marketing strategy must structure their plan by looking at following stages:

1. Opportunity-

In-order to create an operative Digital Marketing Planning a business, the first thing is a complete review of market and setting up of ‘SMART’ (Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Relevant & Time Bound) objectives. The SMART objectives are easily set by reviewing the benchmarks and key performance indicators (KPIs) of the company and competitors. It is essential that the analytics used for the key performance indicators should be customised to the type, purposes, mission and apparition of the company.

Companies can easily scan for marketing and sales opportunities by reviewing their own access as well as influencer access. To complete opportunity, the organisation should summarise their existing customers façades and buying journey from this they are able to deduce their digital marketing capability. This indeed shows the clear picture that where they are and what resources they have and how many of them they can use for their digital marketing strategy, for example: labour, time & etc.

2. Strategy-

For creating a digital strategy, the company must review their digital proposition and communicate it using digital customer targeting techniques. It is really important that they define online value proposition (OVP), this means the organisation should direct clearly what they are offering buyers online, for example: product/brand positioning. The company must think about the choosing a digital targeting approach.

After undertaking these things, it is customary to review the marketing mix for online options. The marketing mix is of 4 parts which are Product, Price, Promotion & Place. Sometimes you might find 3 extras parts which are Process, Place and Physical appearance.

3. Action-

The last stage needs the organisation to figure out and implement a budget and also implement some management systems- these must be measurable touch-points, such as audience reached across all digital platforms. Moreover, marketer’s obligation is to ensure the budget and management systems are assimilating the paid, owned & earned media of the organisation. The Action which is the last & final stage of planning too requires the firm to setup in place computable content creation, for example: visual or written online media & oral.

After getting confirmation of the Digital Marketing Plan, a programmed format of digital communications must be encoded throughout the internal operations of the company. This guarantees that all platform used fall in line & accompaniment each other for the succeeding stages of digital marketing strategy.

There are many planning approaches but this is one of the best to be used and is more-or-less used by every organisation based on their needs and growth, sales targets.

3. DIGITAL MARKETING IN AIRLINES  

Airlines come under the aviation sector and these are basically the carriers which initiate air travels. As we know the emergence of technology has led to many changes in the past decade and aviation sector is one of the most affected/benefited sector in this list. Almost all the things in aviation sector rely on technology and so as airlines are one of the rigorous users of it. Now each-and-every Airline likes to provide its customers more personalise messages, emails and any kind of assistance for this Digital Marketing is one of the main techniques used. Basically, from booking a ticket to collecting the baggage and leaving the Airport involves a lot of use of technology. To monetise and collect passenger data from these all processes an airline company needs a Digital Marketing strategy and tools to implement that strategy. As per the recent surveys most of the people prefer technology over human interaction and that’s why the importance of marketing your airline digitally is increasing at a rapid rate, the company which provides more online facilities with ease and less ticket fare is nowadays often chosen by the travellers rather than the conventional one. Below are the results of a survey which depict the percentage of passenger reliance on technology due to Digital Marketing:

      Graph 1.1

     Data Source: SITA Passenger IT Trends 2017       

The data above shows how much people are reliant on technology while travelling these days, starting from online booking which has become common practice & people are even using mobile-applications, web services for getting information about their checked-in baggage collection, which is new in India specifically and all this has been made possible by smart digital marketing, which is the need of the time and thus each-and-every airline now opts for it whether they like it or not they have to spend on it. With Artificial Intelligence & Virtual Reality coming into this trade it becomes very important for airlines to use them wisely without any accidents as well as they are going to easy down the traveling chores and will definitely add more new things to the above-mentioned services and make travelling different in every possible way.

3.1 VALUE OF DIGITAL MARKETING IN AIRLINES

The digital marketing holds a greater significance now in the airline industry as compare to earlier years, as it has become a most efficient, cheap & reliable way to market products, service and let people know more about you in a more extended & better way with lots of exciting offers and reaching people in a better fashion. Here are some points which are common to all industries but specifically important to airlines due to which Digital Marketing is considered as superior than other forms of Marketing:

• By the help of this one can reach people faster & easily.

• It gives freedom to reach customers in a more personalised way and it also helps in keeping check that how frequently they fly, etc.

• The foremost important aspect of digital marketing is that it provides a unique platform to reach out people & manage their credentials in real-time.

• A digitally sound organisation never forgets to provide its customers elite services even on-board the flight.

• Digital Marketing allows an organisation to keep each-and-every possible detail of their customers stored so they can improve their services on a regular basis.

• It helps in reduction of marketing spend per passenger.

• It helps in increase of revenue per traveller.

• Helps in migrating customer towards value &brand based decisions.

• Helps in creating a customer loyalty base as well as reduces all kind of marketing costs and increases chances of profitability.

• It opens avenues like cross-channel marketing in which proper targeted segmentation & email execution can be done readily.

• It has one of the most important feature which is in high demand that is proper content management & efficiency. Efficiency is a factor in which traditional marketing is way behind the Digital, this does not mean that traditional marketing is non-efficient it is rather less efficient.

• Helps in conversion rate as information is supplied to visitors at a faster rate.

• It helps in improving website quality and moreover brings good amount of traffic to the website which indeed helps in earning some money.

• It provides a dynamic content approach to lure the customers which is quite effective as compare to non-dynamic content approach.

• It also enhances the payment modes with offers & flexibility, by making them easier to use.

3.2 DIGITAL MARKETING PRODUCTS/SOLUTIONS USED IN AIRLINES

Basically, most of the companies take only these solutions (Target, Campaign, Analytics) and sometimes these are deployed in the same order as shown below and sometimes these are specifically Analytics are integrated with other platforms or other products to give more superior services. As companies buy these three together and most of the time they use them together.   

     Fig. 1.1

Basically, Adobe provides these products/solutions (mentioned-above) and other companies also do the same but in slightly different ways. These three are however most important parts of not only digital marketing but any kind of marketing.

1. Target: It is a kind of advertising tool by the help of which advertisers target audiences online and it is solely done based on choice, interests & availability of that particular product in the area. It can be based on the particular area demography, on any or about any particular. It can be for a single product or for big pool of products. Targeting can vary in many aspects and some of them are: time, sociodemographic, behavioural, retargeting, tv & media, etc. These can be used only with campaign which is necessary for reaching people.

2. Campaign: It is a series of advertisements which is share or acknowledge people about a product or brand, theme. It is an integrated marketing communication (IMC). An integrated marketing communication is a stage in which a bunch of people can group their ideas, concepts, themes into a single media base. It uses Target for targeting audiences of a particular interest. These are built to achieve a particular objective and in airline business these hold a big stake as different campaigns are run all over at single time and with different targeting involved in it. Airlines have now become very particular about what they provide people and what they promise that is the concept of fake promises no more exist, which indeed increases the all-over demand for the good campaigns which are able to generate or meet the requirements of the airline.

3. Analytics: It is basically the discovery, interpretation of data which is meaningful or have some sort of use. It relies on many statistics, computer and other applications. Organisations also apply analytics to its business data to describe, interpret and collect useful data and use it later-on for betterment and good performance or to give more services based on that. In the airline industry or any other industry which uses digital marketing it is one of the most important tool to enhance the services and grow the organisation in a better fashion. Specifically, airlines use this tool to collect and analyse the data, so on based of that they can provide personalised experience to customers and can make a loyalty base or club for the frequent flyers or can contact the frequent flyers directly and offer them better deals to increase and it is also used to engage new passengers and lure them to join frequent flyer program or loyalty base or club. It includes some risks like data leakage or privacy intervention by developers and etc. There are some challenges too along with risks, like unstructured data is one of the big concerns, etc. Here is some data which shows the change in travelling trends after use of Digital Marketing. The data mentioned-below shows that how people travel in digital age:

4. AIRLINE CASE STUDY

I encountered this case study while researching about the low-cost carriers (airlines) around the World and specially in India as I was assigned to make a proposal for a low-cost airline called Go Air which operates in India is based in Mumbai with its other hubs at Delhi, Ahmedabad. This case study has been seen and references are taken from Adobe Systems India Private Limited’s employee research portal (cannot be named). The Airline in this case study is one of the oldest clients of Adobe amongst the Airlines and is one of the subsidiary of Germany’s Flight Carrier Lufthansa, the Airline is Germanwings which is now a part of Euro Wings.

Germanwings:

A subsidiary of Lufthansa, Germanwings documented that most of its passenger’s book flights through online portals & required a web content management system (CMS) that could quickly deliver personalized content to increase sales. The airlines e-commerce team evaluated and chose Adobe Experience Manager.

     Image: Germanwings Airlines Logo

Experience Manager allows Germanwings quickly create & dynamically update web pages without special programming skills. The web team can reuse assets in Experience Manager across multiple sites & cuts overall development time. Also, Experience Manager integrates with the airline’s reservation & ticketing systems, meaning Germanwings customers can book and view flights in multiple ways. As the Germanwings operates across Europe, multiple language support was important to reaching its audience. Adobe Experience Manager allows its regional offices to efficiently localize webpage content in six different languages. Translators can view content from a central interface & review and publish updates with a few clicks.

Germanwings also uses Adobe Analytics to gain insight into customer behaviours. The integration between Adobe Analytics and Adobe Experience Manager allows Germanwings to analyse how changes to the website can affect sales. With the help of data collected from bookings the Germanwings target their audience accordingly by region, fare type, offers, flight & etc. After integration with Adobe Experience Manager (comes under the Digital Marketing) has gained a lot of rise & growth in its earning through the website.

The following are the results obtained by Germanwings after using the Adobe Experience Cloud & Adobe Analytics which come under the Adobe Digital Marketing Products:
