Building a Frequent Flier Program – Consulting Packages:
IdeaWorksCompany offers a one-price solution for an airline seeking to evaluate a frequent flier program opportunity. A total of ten packages are offered to provide support for all areas of frequent flier program planning, procedures development, and program launch.
- Initial Evaluation – Phase 1 focuses on the carrier’s unique travel product and the expectations of its guests. Numerous face-to-face interviews with the carrier’s executives provide the consultant a thorough background on the company and its products, and allow client executives to learn more about loyalty marketing. The week of activity will be summarized in a 4-page report. The Initial Evaluation Report will outline a program design for the client.
- Business Plan – Phase 2 is offered as a separate project to begin the process of building a frequent flier program through the development of a comprehensive business plan document. This project will create a 25-page Frequent Flier Business Plan that will outline the design of a customized loyalty program for the client.
- Procedures Development and Program Launch – Phases 3 through 10 provide further program development, create operational systems, and assist with program launch. The component approach provides maximum flexibility for the client; any or all of the Phases offered may be requested.
