Case Study: Success takes flight for Hawaiian Airlines
Facing a challenging market, Hawaiian Airlines looked to expand its online presence beyond search marketing. It worked closely with digital agency
Razorfish
to increase direct response metrics through greater brand awareness and loyalty.
They started with a limited display ads test on the
Google Content Network
, targeting images of Hawaii to three key audiences: families going on vacation, baby boomers, and seniors. The images resonated with users, and the test successfully hit the company's sales goals, leading to further investment in display ads in the summer of 2008. Despite high fuel costs affecting travel behavior, Hawaiian Airlines saw 3% year-over-year growth in ticket orders and revenue, and display ads are now a core part of their advertising strategy.
Next, they tested the "
What Island Am I?
" application, which enabled Hawaiian Airlines to effectively reach new customers and help them plan their trips. According to Brooke Boyle, Razorfish search manager, “The ‘What Island Am I?’ campaign performed better than all of the other media we purchased, and branding with display paid off and fueled our search campaigns.”
