🎂 A Lesson in Brand Loyalty (and a Birthday Shoutout)
It was my birthday on 25th May, and while looking through my inbox, I noticed a fascinating contrast in how global brands handle customer engagement.
A huge shoutout to PIA (Pakistan International Airlines) and Qatar Airways for remembering the big day! Qatar Airways even went the extra mile by throwing in a 10% discount voucher. It’s a small gesture, but it makes a massive difference in how a customer feels valued.
On the flip side, I am also a frequent flyer member with Emirates, Saudia, and Thai Airways—and from them? Complete radio silence. 🔇
💡 Why does this matter?
I’m not writing this to fish for late discounts or complain about missing perks. I am writing this as a case study in modern marketing.
In a hyper-competitive industry, this is how brands try to stay connected and remain at the top of mind.
The Winners: Understand that automation mixed with personalization builds emotional equity. Next time I book a flight, guess which airlines are already at the forefront of my mind?
The Rest: Risk becoming just another transactional utility. Silence is a missed opportunity to reinforce loyalty.
To the brands that showed up in my inbox: thank you for making my day a little brighter. To the others: your CRM might need a little tune-up! ✈️🎈
