Customer Value or Profit? (DILEMMA)
Marketing Strategy• 6 persons in marketing department• 6 regional sales managers• 12 reservation specialists• 2 public relations officers• The goal was to meet specific revenues and occupancy targets.• Challenge was not to educate consumers about Cabo San Viejo concept
but evoke “right emotions so that people are reminded that they want to feel special”.
• Spending on advertising was only a small percentile of the gross profits.• It spent most on the brand awareness type ads. (i.e. online, radio, print )• They send occasional bulletin to the customers to inform about latest
developments.• They did very less cross-marketing between CaboDay Spa and Palm
springs.
Sales Strategy
• Cabo San Viejo was one of the few spas to maintain a sales force.
• Sales team sold group and individual packages to high end travel agencies in US and Canada.
• Goal was to keep occupancy at optimal level( i.e. 270).• Reduction of rates by about 35% in summers.• Organize receptions in major cities, introducing
doctors , physiologists and other staff to the prospects.• The main aim was to instill correct perception about
the brand
