Why is easy Jet successful? Four key criteria are used to evaluate easy Jet’s strategic marketing success. Strong Financial Performance Shareholder value is ultimately driven by bottom-line financial success, which at easy Jet has been fuel led by capacity expansion, cost control and tapping in to highly price sensitive segments of the market. Rapid Sales growth – Between 1998 and 2003 revenues grew by a factor of twelve and profits grew by a factor of almost nine. Cash management – With the mindset of an aggressive start-up, easy Jet has not paid a dividend to date, preferring to retain profits to fund future expansion. In 2003, the company had enough cash reserves to fund a complete year of operations.

An omnibus survey in January 2004 found that easy Jet’s brand awareness was 85% in the UK. In addition, easy Jet was ranked as the fifth most popular search term on Google in 2003. easy Jet is also the most popular air transport website and the second most popular travel website visited in early 2004.
