jetBlue is a low cost, high quality airline. It is Impact CreativeGroup’s goal to increase summer travel by 5% to all coastal andCaribbean destinations. To encourage metropolitan professionals tobook vacations during the summer months, we will launch a campaignthat will target Caucasian women ages 25-34. They will be collegegraduates with a household income of $75,000 or more. These womenlike to book trips online, prefer active vacations with many activities, andenjoy traveling abroad.

Impact Creative Group will utilize the following media to reach ourtarget audience: prime time television regional spots, consumermagazines, outdoor billboards in five major markets, Internet advertisingand the use of social media. Our media flight plan will pulse two monthsbefore heavy travel and vacationing to reach a frequency of 10 times amonth while maintaining a constant frequency of at least 5 duringmonths of high travel. Advertising will primarily occur January throughApril, so we can successfully reach metropolitan women before theybook their summer vacations.

SWOT Analysis

Competitive Considerations

• jetBlue’s competitors include traditional, networkairlines, low-cost airlines, and regional airlines.

• Competitors include:– AMR Corporation– Delta Airlines, Inc.– Southwest Airlines Co.– US Airways Group, Inc.– UAL Corporation– Alaska Air Group, Inc.– Sky West, Inc.

• The airline industry is highly competitive. The factors inwhich these airlines compete in are: fares, customerservice, routes served, safety record and reputation,in-flight entertainment, and frequent flyer programs.All competitors have similar advanced technologiessuch as ticket-less travel, and website bookings.

• “jetBlue differentiates itself from the other airlinecompanies by its low fares made possible by lowdistribution and operating costs - largely due to thefact that it has the youngest fleet in all domesticairlines” (wikinvest). Offering high customer service,jetBlue offers travelers affordable point-to-pointflights.

• Figure 1 (left), highlights 2010 Top 10 U.S.Airlines Market Share based on RevenuePassenger Miles according to wikinvest.

• Currently American Airlines and Southwesthold the largest share of the airline marketwith 13.8%

• The airline industry is characterized by“intense price competition” that allowscompanies to differentiate themselves fromone another. However, due to the recentglobal economic decline, demand for airtravel has declined exponentially. Becauseof this traveler decline, companies havehad to reduce aircraft, flights andemployees. It is still uncertain on the futureof the air industry and whether carriers willincrease or reduce capacity.

• Figure 2 (next page) shows the totaladvertising dollars each airliner spends.According to the Kantar competitive data,Southwest spends $185,673,200, which givethem a 44% SOV in total advertising dollarsspent.

• See Appendix A and B for the breakdown of“Airline Advertising by Medium” and “AirlineAdvertising by Month”.

• Southwest– The largest domestic carrier by total passengers, Southwest

maintains low operating expenses which has allowed thecompany an estimated “$1.1 billion in fuel costs”. Currentpromotional campaigns include:

• “Bags fly free”• “Starting at $59 one-way”

• Delta Air– The second largest passenger airline in the world by

available seat miles, Delta Airlines has faced financialproblems associated with price competition from discountairliners. In order to compete with discount airliners (such asjetBlue and Southwest), Delta Air has promotions such as:

• “Delta SkyMiles• “Last minute fares”

• United & Continental Merger– With a current market share of 10.4%, United Air spends

approximately $4,218,200 on advertising. Trying to competewith discount airliners as well, United promotions include:

• “Mileage Plus”• The current trend amongst the airline industry is a shift to mobile

ads and applications. Southwest, American, Alaskan, and DeltaAir have designed iPhone applications that allow users to makefuture travel plans, keep track of current travel plans, or altertravel plans on the go.

How is jetBlue positioned?• jetBlue is positioned as a low cost passenger airline that provides high quality customer service at

low fares, primarily on point-to-point routes. jetBlue is recognized for their superior service andCustomer Bill of Rights - a document that ensures their commitment to consumers and dedicationto bringing humanity back to air travel. The airline delivers a premium product to a higher class ofpeople who don’t want to pay sky-high prices for travel. jetBlue focuses on secondary airportsaway from the main hubs. They have invented the most creative triple threat: economy, comfortand customer consideration. Large airline carriers are often indifferent and make passengers feellike just a number, while jetBlue caters to every individual’s needs. Expectations for large airlinesare typically low, but jetBlue prides themselves on creating higher expectations for theirpassengers.

Is Air Travel a High or Low Purchase Decision?• Air travel is a high involvement service that requires a thoughtful purchase decision. Consumers

research competitor’s products, prices, and promotions. Consumers generally do not traveleveryday, so they carefully consider their purchase decision before booking a flight.

How, When and Where is the product used and consumed?• Consumers purchase airline tickets to travel to their desired destinations. jetBlue offers one class

service to more than 55 cities. The majority of flights arrive and depart from Boston, Orlando, Ft.Lauderdale, Long Beach California and New York City. Tickets are booked primarily through onlinewebsites, airport ticketing agents and travel agents. During the spring and summer months,business travel decreases by 10% and vacation air travel increases by 30%. The holidays areanother frequent time of travel and a new key focus for jetBlue’s marketing strategies.

• JetBlue is a regional brand thatoperates in roughly 55 cities, more than20 states and several internationaldestinations including Mexico,Columbia, the Caribbean, Puerto Rico,Bahamas and the Dominican Republic.There are five key markets that jetBluefocuses on: Boston; Orlando and FortLauderdale, Florida; Long Beach,California; and New York. Consideringthe fact that the majority of our flightsarrive and depart from these five keymarkets, we are proposing that ourcampaign focus on these locations.Since we operate in multiple marketsscattered around the United States, webelieve a regional campaign would bemost successful to all of our targetmarkets. If we do national campaignwe might not be able to reach our fivekey markets as strongly as we hope. Inthis case we will lose money andprospective customers.

• jetBlue was launched in 1999, making it roughly 11 years old. Instead of re-launchingthe brand, we are kicking off jetBlue’s campaign with heavy advertising andpromotional events to bring brand recognition and awareness to jetBlue consumers.

• Life cycle is relevant for jetBlue. Right now, it is borderline between the introductoryand growth stages, meaning that it is still growing and gaining recognition. If jetBluewas in the declining stage, serious rebranding and a re-launch would be critical.

• jetBlue is trying to increase vacation passengers by 5% and one way to do this couldbe to create a niche time to make themselves known. Since our targetdemographic tends to plan ahead, jetBlue will start off the calendar year withheavy advertising until April, then remain at a constant level of advertising untilSeptember, which will involve heavy advertising to instill brand recall andrecognition. For October through December, advertising will remain at a steadyconstant, to ensure jetBlue maintains market share.

• Airfare is a high-involvement purchase decision, usually involving cross-farecomparisons, trying to find the least expensive and stressful itinerary. It is purchasedoften during primary travel seasons and periodically throughout the year. SincejetBlue wants to increase vacation travel, an offensive strategy at least six monthsbefore Summer should be implemented with frequency being at an all-time highbetween January and April, and sporadically in September.

Timing and Purchase Cycle

Page 19: jetBlue Media Plan

• The optimal time to advertise would be Monday through Thursday during primetimetelevision (8p.m. to 10p.m.)

• Budget for the jetBlue campaign was planned using the previous year’s budget. Forthe 2011 fiscal year, we appropriated a $26 million budget to a media plan that wethought best paralleled jetBlue’s previous success and would increase jetBlue’sbrand awareness and recall.

• Holidays are a critical component of jetBlue’s vacation travel. Aside from summer,holidays are the second best time for people to vacation. Advertising will have tostart off heavy at the beginning of the year and constantly promote vacation andholiday specials and packages to increase their vacation travel by 5%.

• Climate is not that much of a factor for jetBlue, considering everyone likes avacation every now and then. We will specifically target the coastal regions toincrease travel to and from these areas, since they have been in a slight declinesince 2007.

• jetBlue will advertise in media that match the lifestyles of ourtarget demographic. Young, female professionals will connectwith print, television and online marketing techniques that we willpromote. Instead of trying to outspend the competition, we willadvertise heavily in months where larger airlines are notdominating the market. We will use graphic visuals with little textthat varies upon a centralized theme: the comfort and quality ofjetBlue’s airfare. Taglines focused on the female consumer willengage the audience and make jetBlue top of mind when theyare purchasing airfare- a high involvement purchase decisionthat involves much thought and consideration.
