Innovative Airline Marketing Campaigns Increase Uptake of Amenity Kits during COVID-19 Outbreak
The COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped the travel industry. After resisting operational costs, stakeholders in the amenity kits market are giving into the clutches of the pandemic and launching new amenity kits. Singapore Airlines has partnered with British perfumer company Penhaligon to launch their business class amenity kits consisting of hand lotion, facial mist, and lingering fragrances of citrus, lily, and amber.
Amenity kits and individual pouches are notorious for million dollars in damages for airline companies. However, in order to maintain proper hygiene and sanitization, airline companies are giving into the idea of distributing amenity kits instead of providing them loosely in basket or in bathrooms. Thus, companies in the amenity kits market should capitalize on this opportunity to broaden their revenue streams. Airline companies are planning to launch innovative marketing campaigns to encourage business owners for air travel. Health & wellness brands have entered the limelight after the COVID-19 breakout. Inflight comfort amenities company FORMIA has collaborated with leather goods company Calego International Inc. to develop health and wellness amenities for airlines in order to make travel safe. Manufacturers in the amenity kits market are taking cues from such companies to establish national distribution chains. Industry-leading health & wellness brands are maintaining steady supply chains to boost their credibility credentials during the pandemic.
