Abstract

This paper investigates the effectiveness of British Airways’ customer relationship management (CRM) strategies through a comprehensive assessment of Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) across its primary customer segments. Using financial data from IAG and industry sources, CLV is calculated for both the average customer and Executive Club members, followed by a sensitivity analysis to evaluate the impact of changes in margins and retention rates. The findings reveal that retention rate improvements generate disproportionately higher increases in CLV compared to margin adjustments, particularly within the high-loyalty segment. A detailed examination of British Airways’ marketing mix, loyalty programmes, acquisition strategy, and customer development initiatives further highlights the airline’s reliance on personalisation, tier-based incentives, and digital integration to sustain long-term customer value. Based on the empirical results, the study proposes strategic recommendations to strengthen loyalty programme effectiveness and expand the customer base through a B2B subscription model. Overall, the analysis underscores the centrality of retention-driven CRM approaches in enhancing customer profitability within the competitive airline industry.

Abstract

This paper explores the strategic role of keyword research and content optimization throughout the user journey, focusing on two global e-commerce companies: Alibaba, a business-to-business platform, and ASOS, a product-based e-commerce retailer. The study highlights how keyword research tools and content strategies align with user intent at each stage—awareness, consideration, decision, retention, and advocacy—to enhance visibility, engagement, and customer loyalty. Key measures, tools, and practical applications are discussed to demonstrate effective digital marketing strategies in both B2B and B2C contexts.

Abstract

This paper examines the transformative impact of Spotify on the global music industry, focusing on how streaming has reshaped consumer behavior, revenue models, and the industry’s response to digital disruption. Drawing on data from international music and governance databases, the study analyzes Spotify’s rapid growth, its role in reducing music piracy, and the economic implications of its subscription-based model. The research highlights how Spotify’s technologically driven platform strategy has expanded global access to music while raising concerns regarding artist compensation and market concentration. Overall, the findings demonstrate that Spotify has fundamentally altered the structure, economics, and governance of modern music distribution, marking a critical shift in the digital evolution of the entertainment sector.
