ASSIGNMENT QUESTIONS
QUESTION 1: Marketing strategy and target market [50 MARKS]
For Singapore Airlines (SIA), a unique event arose out of Covid-19. For two days (24th and 25th of October 2020), the airline launched a dining service on board a parked Airbus 380 named “A380@Changi”. Diners at restaurant A380@Changi were offered Singapore Airline’s international cuisine options or a selection of Peranakan-inspired meals from renowned Singaporean chef, Shermay Lee.
There were limited slots for a pre-dinner tour of the aircraft, which included tours of the cabins and the cockpit. All diners were given discounts for Singapore Airlines’ online retail store, KrisShop, and a limited-edition goodie bag. If diners arrived in traditional heritage attire, they received an additional “mystery gift”. Diners could even watch a movie via the in-flight entertainment service while they enjoyed dinner.
However, Singapore Airlines’ offerings were met with mixed feelings by consumers. In light of the high prices of the new onboard restaurant and the airline’s upscale home-delivered meal options that cost upwards of S$498 (R5,339). The experience was criticised online as being elitist and disconnected from the actualities of Covid-19, in which unemployment and income loss has become common. Regardless, Singapore Airlines’ strategy seems to have been successful, as all of its available 900 seats for restaurant A380@Changi were sold out within 30 minutes after bookings opened on Monday, October 12th 2020.
(The National News, 2020; CAN Lifestyle, 2020; Yaha, 2020).
1.1 Singapore Airlines’ marketing drive aimed to keep its image as a premium airline alive (30) in the minds of consumers, especially since there were no opportunities for flying during the Covid-19 restrictions. Apply these four purposeful questions in relation to Singapore Airlines’ marketing strategy for their restaurant A380@Changi:
a. Where are we now? (6)
b. Where do we want to be? (6)
c. How do we get there? (6)
d. How can we ensure arrival? (6)
You will need to do additional research in order to answer this question. (6) Examples of research points:
• Singapore Airlines – the company’s vision, mission, goals, and internal environment.
• Strategies at Singapore Airlines – what are the strategies used? Are these successful?
1.2 Members of a target market share common needs and characteristics. Apply four (20) conventional target market characteristics to the market Singapore Airlines has targeted for their restaurant, A380@Changi.
QUESTION 2: Buying process [20 MARKS]
Reflecting on what motivated Singapore Airlines’ consumers to purchase tickets for their offering of an on board restaurant, discuss their purchasing process.
QUESTION 3: Marketing mix [20 MARKS]
You are the marketing manager of a new budget airline company. Your airline targets young adults who like to travel but are restricted by Covid-19. Develop a marketing mix for your airline to effectively capture your target market.
QUESTION 4: Marketing media [10 MARKS]
Your new airline company develops its advertising program. Which media do you recommend and why?
