Keynote speaker: Shashank Nigam, CEO, SimpliFlying
Airlines are among the better early adopters of SM, but most have focused on driving buzz. When it comes to driving revenue, many still pay hefty commissions to GDS and travel agents and are just experimenting with social media. When Shashank delivered a keynote on this topic in Abu Dhabi and Singapore, there were a lot of questions from the audience and he thought this topic certainly deserves more attention.
So, here are 5.5 ways airlines can drive revenue through social media
1. Clear distressed inventory using real-time mediums like Twitter.
Eg JetBlue Cheeps and United Twares
2. Integrate social media reviews in the booking path - to boost conversion
3. Integrate with social media travel tools like TripIt - Leverage on the loads of travel information publicly available, like travel plans, to send specific deals to people
4. Partner with other travel firms like hotels and airports - leverage on each others' SM efforts
5. Create private online communities - exclusive "velvet-rope" clubs of your most valued customers who're active on social media
The last 1/2: SM is about relationships. Don't just think profits. Think conversations and give free love. They'll love you back Like Lufthansa's MySkyStatus.com
