Research philosophy
This is the method which helps the researcher in providing complete information about the
methods of data collection (Kennedy, 2017). It also helps in providing accurate information
about the procedures used in analyzing as well as investigating the data. Interpretivism
philosophy is used to get the information about the importance of social marketing as well as

Research approach
It is the method which fills the gap between choosing the subject matter as well as selecting the

DIGITAL MEDIA TECHNOLOGY 8

Case Study- Singapore Airlines
Singapore Airlines Limited is the flag carrier airline of Singapore with its hub at “Singapore
Changi Airport”. It flies over 62 destinations in 32 regions, but the main hat is initial hub of this
airline is in Singapore (Fletcher, 2017). The airlines offer various services to their passengers,
which includes cabins, suits of Singapore Airlines, first class, business class, premium class
economy, economy class and many other services to satisfy the needs and requirements of the
consumers (Wirtz & Heracleous, 2016). The airlines also has “Frequent flyer program” which is
divided into many tiers which includes “KrisFlyer”, “KrisFlyer Elite Silver”, KrisFlyer Elite
Gold” and “Priority Passenger Service club”.
Mobile technologies provide the facility to the passenger of airline industry by engaging with
them by the mobile apps, messaging through mobile digitally. This is various by the various
companies in the airlines industries because of quickly as well as effectively conducting the
services (Fan & Lingblad, 2016). Therefore, this strategy is cost effective and also utilized the
resources of the airlines in most optimized manner. There is various strategy as well as initiatives
taken by the airlines to sustain in the long term and to increase the status and reputation among
the consumer. In this strategy of Singapore Airlines in mobile technology to gain competitive
advantage is discussed.
Singapore Airlines is one of the leading airlines in Singapore and takes various initiatives to
increase the loyalty among the consumers as well as to gain competitive advantage. Therefore,
the various social media as well as digital marketing technologies used by the company to
sustain in the competitive environment because of high competitive in the airlines industry (Gao
& Choy, 2019). Nowadays the airlines emerged with using mobile technology to make

DIGITAL MEDIA TECHNOLOGY 9
innovation in the marketing and to increase the satisfaction among the passengers; this will help
in providing various other facilities to the passengers according to their needs and requirements
(Zentner, 2016). As shown in the figure 1, that Singapore Airlines introduced new app for the
mobile to all the Apple as well as Android mobile phones, therefore the app is also for Apple
watch (Travel Experience, Singapore Airlines , 2015).
This strategy of the company changes the overall scenario and leads better experience of the user
as compared to its competitors. It is because of various new features involved in increasing the
satisfaction level of the consumers which includes that the app has the feature of “The trip page”
which gives all the information about the booking, date of the fight (Baxter & Srisaeng, 2018).
This strategy is used by the company because the consumers need to schedule the flight as well
as booking in more convenient and easier manner. Therefore through this the profits of the
airlines in comparison to other airlines in the industry that is as shown in figure 2 that the profits
of airlines in the year 2015 were S$681.2 million because it satisfies the large of customers and
creates loyalty among the consumers (Statista, 2019). This also helps in increasing the customers
because of easier and convenient facility this leads in raising the online booking customers in
comparison to the normal booking.
The various facility were provided by the Singapore Airlines through the mobile technologies
which includes providing services of mobile apps, text messaging about the services, offers and
discounts to their regular customers. This creates more loyalty among the consumers and
increases the satisfaction of the other customers (Teker et al., 2016). This strategy brings shape
to various attributes of the mobile technology which includes “ubiquity” that is mobile is
available by the passenger at all times in every situation. This also brings “mobility” and
“portability” because mobile phones can be moves easily in one place to another, this helps in
creating easiness to the customers so that they can schedule their booking as well as track their
journey everywhere at each point of point. Therefore by providing various facilities as well as
offers to the customers the income of the company and results making Singapore Airlines one of
well-known, well-established as well as leading airlines in Singapore with increasing the
satisfaction level of the consumers. This result in increasing the number of passenger, as shown
in figure 3 that in the year 2016 it was 19029.000 and increases overtime because of most of the

DIGITAL MEDIA TECHNOLOGY 10
passenger prefer online booking as due to quick results as well as more convenient in
comparison to normal bookings (Singapore Airlines Passengers, 2019).
Due to increase in the number of passenger because of getting positive results from the strategy
of mobile apps. In the year 2017 Singapore Airlines decided to add more new features in the
mobile apps that is now before take-off this mobile app supports the passengers in downloading
the magazines a well as newspaper digitally. Therefore, it also provides various other facilities
such as the passenger can also connect their mobiles to the entrainment system so that through
this they can watch movies, play their favorite songs etc. This leads in providing various
entertainment facilities to the passengers (Camilleri, 2018). Therefore, this leads in satisfaction
among the consumers and results in generating more profits and more passengers over the years,
it is demonstrate that in the year 2018 airlines made more profits when the plane takes-off their
passenger to the “ Changi International Airport” (Wibowo & Sutandi, 2018). Therefore, it is
estimated that this brings the airlines to earn higher profits in this year. Due to increase the
competition for attracting large number of passenger, Singapore Airlines develop innovative
strategies to attract as well as to gain reputation among the passenger of the airlines so that it can
more profits and also generates loyalty among the consumers (Sutton & Austin, 2015).
Through investigation, it demonstrate that mobile technology helps Singapore Airlines to
generate more profits and increase the passengers overtime which can be described from the
above analysis. Therefore this leads in gaining the large number of attention from the passenger
because of providing various facilities according their easiness and requirements of the
customers (Pramitha et al., 2018). This also leads in providing various offers and discounts by
texting various regular customer to encourage and persuade them to book their tickets. Therefore
this strategy is also considered as word of mouth strategy in which airlines takes the initiatives to
invite their customers. This results in increasing the opportunities and benefits over competitors
to gain competitive advantage; therefore it shows that airlines take more initiatives as compared
to their competitors in the business environment. However, it is estimated that profits of the
Singapore Airlines is increasing but not in the same ratio, as it can be seen in figure 2 (Statista,
2019).

DIGITAL MEDIA TECHNOLOGY 11
Reflection
From the above analysis, I found that various initiatives were taken by the airlines industry to
attract large number of passenger it is because of the high competition in the airlines industry of
Singapore. Therefore in my opinion Singapore Airlines develop innovative strategies to be well-
established airlines of Singapore. The above case study demonstrates that recently emergence
was done to operate their functions in effective manner. The airlines launched mobile apps to
provide several facilities and convenience to the passenger to create loyalty and to increase the
status as well as reputation. The airlines is earning revenue that is in the year 2018, the revenue
of Singapore airlines is higher as compared to their competitors. The app is launched for all the
mobile devices so that all the consumers can use it while scheduling their booking. The company
also adopts the strategy of “Word of Mouth” to texting their loyal customers to provide whole
information about the services being offered and to encourage as well as to create value so that
stability of the airlines is maintained.
Discussion and Recommendations
The study demonstrate that it is digital marketing is become important for the airlines industry to
spread awareness as well as to generate more loyal customers. Singapore Airlines recently use
the mobile technology to create sustainability. Therefore, the profits of the airlines is increasing
overtime, but recently it is demonstrate that profits is increasing but not in the similar ratio. To
overcome this difficulty Singapore Airlines can adopt the strategy of “Location Based Services”,
in the mobile app. This will helps the airlines when the passengers decreases and also helps in
providing special attractive offers to all the customers so that it encourage them to make
bookings (Iordanova, 2018). This strategy supports the airlines in engaging more customers
because airlines provide special offers mainly to their regular customers, through this it can
encourage more passengers. The airlines also adopt the strategy of “Android Instant Apps”. This
helps in creating the engagement among the passengers because in this passengers do not have to
download the app; they can also make bookings by searching on the web page (Faisal, 2019).
Conclusion
From the above it is concluded that companies does marketing to promote their products and to
increase awareness about the new features of the product. Therefore nowadays new trends are

DIGITAL MEDIA TECHNOLOGY 12
emerged in social media and digital marketing to increase loyalty and to satisfy the customers. In
this secondary method is used to understand the importance as well as limitations of digital
marketing. Singapore Airlines use the mobile technology to attract large of customer and to
increase loyalty, status and reputation among the customers. Therefore this strategy influences
the company in positive manner and leads in increasing their revenue in the long run. However,
still revenue is not increasing in the similar amount for this airlines can adopt the strategy of
Instant Apps as well as location based services so that it support them in engaging more
passenger in the target audience and creates more flexibility and easiness by connecting without
downloading the app.
