How Granify Increased an Airline’s Average Flight Booking by $23.39
When this international airline needed support raising the average order value for flights booked further out from the departure date, they came to Granify.
The Challenge
This international airline had a high load factor and knew that they could increase revenue by upselling add-ons for flights being booked more than six weeks in advance of the flight date.
They also knew that independently building a system to target influenceable travellers with the most compelling add-on would require a significant upfront investment of time and resources.
The Solution
The airline implemented Granify’s Revenue Optimization Solution. Granify uses machine learning to predict how individual travellers will behave from second-to-second.
The Granify team worked with the airline to implement campaigns that were optimized to increase the probability of a customer booking a flight while maximizing their purchase size.
Granify implemented three key strategies, none of which relied on discount promotions:
Tailoring urgency messages for passengers browsing flights greater than six weeks out
Promoting seat upsells and bundles to interested shoppers
Suggesting relevant add-ons including meal purchases, seat selection, and luggage
The results during the first year of partnership were exceptional, with an average increase of $23.39 for each flight booked.
