  13. Marketing Mix for Ryanair

  14. Product or Service • Low cost, no frills air travel to Europe. • There is no free food or drink onboard. • The company has deals with Hertz car rental, and a number of hotel businesses. Other examples include phone cards and bus tickets.

  15. Price • Ryanair has low fares. • 70% of seats are sold at the lowest two fares.30% of seats are charged at higher fares. The last 6% are sold at the highest fare. • Ryanair occasionally get in trouble with bodies such as the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) in the UK over differences between advertised and actual price.

  16. Place • Ryanair does not use travel agents so it does not pay agency commissions. • They are based in Stanstead in Essex - which is known as a secondary airport. It is new and accessible. It is cheaper to fly from Stanstead than either Heathrow or Gatwick, and since it is less busy Ryanair can turn aircraft around more quickly. • Many of Ryanair's destination airports are secondary. For example if you fly to Copenhagen (Denmark) you arrive in Malmo (Sweden) - although it is only a short coach trip over the border. • Keeping aircraft in the air as much as possible is another important part of the low cost jigsaw.

  17. Promotion • They spend as little as possible on advertising and do not employ an advertising agency. Instead all of the advertising is done in-house. • Ryanair employs controversy to promote its business. For example in 2009, the company reasoned that passengers would be charged £1 to use the toilets on board. O'Leary reasoned that passengers could use the terminals at either the destination or arrival airport. This would speed things up. It was reasoned that this is what passengers wanted - since they did not want other passengers leaving their seats and walking the aisles to go to the toilet. O'Leary also argued that larger passengers should be charged more since they took up more room - again it was reasoned that this is what the majority of passengers wanted. • Some of their aircraft are decorated in the livery of advertisers e.g. News of the World, Jaguar and Kilkenny (beer).
