Alaska Airlines implements award-winning Siebel Marketing Program
June, 2009. Seattle, WA.
Building on its earlier Siebel Loyalty success, Alaska Airlines partnered with Loyalty Methods once more to implement a state of the art marketing and campaign management system based on Siebel Marketing and Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) platform.
The project was another home run and major milestone for a combined Loyalty Methods/Alaska Airlines team which has proven its delivery capabilities and creativity time and again.
Using its new capabilities, the Alaska Airlines Marketing team won a Marketing Sherpa award for building and executing a very elegant ‘abandoned shopping cart’ campaign and achieving spectacular results.
Open rate was a shocking 81.5%, more than twice the already high average of 36%, while click-through-rate topped 29.6%, three times better than the 8% average. Most importantly, the campaign converted at 12.3%, four times better than the 2.5% average.
