Marketing at American Airlines
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page paper discussing the approaches that American Airlines is taking in marketing itself in early 2004. Long-haul carriers still have not fully recovered from the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks and the recession that followed, and American Airlines maintains some attractive offers. Most offers are attractive only to rather narrow market segments, however, and some co-branding efforts are more hype than substance, such as an alliance with Discover card that gives consumers the ability to apply for “rewards” certificates at the rate of 0.25 to 1.0 percent of non-gas purchase expenditures. American is offering more than 100 promotions at the present time, but only a few have any real value for the consumer. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

[ send me this paper ]
A 24 page paper providing a marketing audit of Boeing's commercial aircraft business.

The paper examines environmental, economic, political and other factors affecting Boeing’s industry, as well as the marketing mix, strategies, sales efforts and marketing information. Much of the success of its 777 and 787 models will depend on the airline industry regaining health. The US economy continues to strengthen, and as it does, air travel is likely to increase, and airlines in other parts of the world appear to be in better financial health. All of this will positively contribute to Boeing's success with both its foundation products and its new ones. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
