The event, which was sponsored by Mastercard, was attended by key local and overseas travel agencies along with international media. During the conference, THAI highlighted its sales, marketing and revenue strategies to coincide with the government’s plan to reopen the country.
Participants were introduced to THAI’s new products and services, as well as updated on the proactive progress of the airline’s rehabilitation plan.
THAI’s key pillar marketing strategies were highlighted as follows:
Sales and revenue optimisation
THAI will focus on potential revenue-generating destinations that will enable the airline to maximise sales and profit. THAI is also working in close cooperation with Star Alliance, partner airlines and THAI Smile Airways to expand its route network with new destinations.
Feasible products & improved services
New products and services will be introduced such as exclusive privileges for Royal Orchid Plus members, pre-selected meals service for Royal Silk Class passengers, and enhanced inflight entertainment. THAI is also collaborating with Doi Tung, The Mae Fah Luang Foundation, to create an exclusive coffee dubbed Black Silk Blend, which will be served on board to Royal Silk Class passengers.
Pricing and distribution channels
Sales distribution will be further enhanced through collaboration with travel agencies and online channels. The pricing will be more simplified and dynamic to market demand.
Marketing communication
Digital marketing will be extensively utilised based on customer network core behaviours to ensure better experience to access, engage, personalise, connect, and collaborate. This will be implemented with improved always-on content, social media harmonisation and modern CRM platform with AI capabilities.
