Critically evaluate easyjets online business model and customer interfaces (I need to achieve 40% overall to pass module).
………………………………………………………………………………

The late 1990’s marked a period in business history during which stock markets in the western world saw their value increase rapidly from growth in the new internet sector and related fields. The internet had a colossal effect on the way in which we communicate and connectivity put more power into the hands of customers than ever before. Thus many businesses were forced to re-evaluate their business model (simply referring to the way in which they generate profits) and adopt a more customer-orientated approach.

As a result of these changes in the technological environment, the study of E-business has vastly increased in importance in recent years. Customers now expect companies, where possible, to provide a similar service online as well as offline. Business organisations are simply required to establish an online presence to remain competitive and E-business provides the basic theory needed for businesses to prosper in the online environment.

We may at first make the assumption that E-business simply refers to the buying and selling of goods in an online environment but this is certainly not the case. E-Business has a much broader definition than one may initially imagine. It includes online buying and selling but is not solely restricted to it, as it also refers to the use of internet-based technologies for information sharing and communication between suppliers, manufacturers and customers.

The internet hosts a myriad of benefits to the firm that strictly tends to its online strategy and may even become the source of a differential advantage. As an example, electronic storefronts operate all the time so sales can occur around the clock, generating much more profitable business for business organisations. Moreover, there are no overheads in running a website so a firm can vastly improve its marketing in a much more profitable manner.

Aim

We wish to discuss an airline company that reflects these benefits, which is why we have chosen easyJet to form the basis of our assignment. The aim is three-fold:

1.To critically evaluate easyJet’s online business model and customer interfaces

2.To discuss how easyJet distinguishes itself from its competitors

3.To make recommendations as to how easyJet can improve its online strategy.

I think it seems like its not addressing the question as much as it should but I just need to get a half decent mark.

Each day a paid member views ads, they get a share in the profits of the company paid directly to their accounts until the member pockets 25% more than they spent. At the time of this writing, their current daily interest rate has been averaging about 0.50% – 2% per day, and is primarily based on the total the number of ad package sales for the previous day. The daily rebate rate will vary and is not fixed.

All you have to do is view 24 web sites each day for 15 seconds each to receive your daily rebate that equals to about 6 minutes.

Who’s running the show?

The company was founded over a year ago by CEO, Andy Bowdoin. In doing my due diligence and searching over 9 pages of information on Google on him (all positive), I found that he has quite an extraordinary reputation, not only as a career Advertising man, but as a man of exceptional integrity.

He has over 40 years experience in sales and marketing, and has had success in everything he’s done. He started his sales career working with the Dale Carnegie Courses in the early sixties and later worked with the Napoleon Hill Leadership Program. Andy has trained thousands of sales people during his career and started several companies.

He expanded a 60-minute dry cleaning franchise throughout the Southeast and Midwest. He developed a company that sold wireless communication franchises throughout the U.S. and then started a company to market credit card processing for merchants.

In 1999, Andy did research and discovered a need for GPS Tracking for fleet vehicles and GPS Tech was created. In 2006, Andy again saw a new opportunity – the need for a new way to deliver advertising to the masses and Ad Surf Daily, Inc. was born.

He modified his marketing strategies for the internet and attracted over 5,000 members in 120 days and sold over $1,200,000 in services. He now teaches his ASD members his strategies to help them build their internet businesses.

ASD has a physical office located in Quincy Florida, a state of the art online support ticketing system and real telephone support where customer service reps handle all support questions or inquiries.

One of the big perks with this program is they have an account with Bank of America where you can make direct deposits. They withstood a rigorous Verification Process (common sense will tell you Bank of America doesn’t do business with scams).

* Sustainable Payout Structure, NO guarantee of earnings in a set time.
* Daily Payouts fluctuate with daily sales – true Profit Sharing, NOT a Ponzi.
* Daily sales posted each day with your exact payout percentage.
* Zero Cost Membership.
* Structured like a REAL business with CEO, Executive Officers, Chief Administrator
* Full information on CEO, not some ‘anonymous’ admin

How is the company revenue distributed?

The ASD Cash Generator business plan pays 50% of all daily ad buys back to the advertisers, 15% in referral commissions (on two levels) and 25% for expenses and corporate profits.

By never paying out more than they take in, ASD will never encounter the cash-flow problems that have plagued other paid-to-surf programs. You’ll receive a variable percentage daily of that 50% revenue, for surfing 24 sites daily, until you reach 125% of your ad purchase (25% profit), and then you’ll re-cycle.

Members in the US are sent 1099s for any net profits (not advertising purchases) earned each year from ASD, but you can write off anything you purchase in advertising packages, and in turn, save money on your taxes!

Note: ASD Cash Generator is actually the 3rd get-paid-to-surf type program Andy has created. The first two programs were discontinued last year due to programming script problems. All the previous members had their balances transferred over to the new restructured ASD Cash Generator program or were refunded. ASD Cash Generator launched in July 2007.

Speak Spanish?

ASD also has a Spanish version of the English ASD website for those wishing to either view Spanish-based websites or know people who would like to earn money surfing a Spanish site. It’s set to be available for surfing and advertising in the beginning of February.

No sponsoring or recruiting is required, but for those that wish to refer others to ASD, they have a referral program that pays up to a 10% commission from the ad credits purchased that you personally refer, and up to a 5% commission from the ad credits of those referred by your direct referrals for a total of 15% total referral commission paid on 2 levels.

What’s the maximum number of Ad Packages I can purchase?

Twelve thousand (12000). Ad Packages are $1.00 each, so the maximum you can own at any one time is $12,000 USD. ASD requires that you have a product, service, program or opportunity that includes a web site to advertise in order to be an advertiser.

Note: If you don’t have a website to advertise, you can contact me for one to use.

3 Membership Levels: (Optional monthly subscription)

You can join ASD for FREE to advertise your site, or you can upgrade and advertise your business and earn cash-back rebates at the same time. The free membership will always be there and advertisers can get FREE advertising by viewing other web sites on the ASD Cash Generator Web Site.

An advertiser can pay a monthly membership fee and reduce cash out fees, increase referral commissions and decrease the number of sites to view on a daily basis. The amount of your monthly membership fee determines the number of times you can cash out each week, the amount of your referral commissions and the number of sites you must view each day to receive your rebates.

Monthly Memberships:

* $10 per mo. fee = Cashout on Mondays Only and 5% referral commission for 1st level and 3% on 2nd level,
* $25 per mo. fee = Cashout on Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays and 7% referral commission for 1st level and 4% on 2nd level,
* $100 per mo. fee = Exec. VIP Plan, Cashout DAILY and 10% referral commission on 1st level and 5% on 2nd level.

Special Promotion through Tuesday, January 22, 2008.

If you purchase $500 – $999 in Ad Package purchases, you’ll receive 3 month Exec. VIP membership level upgrade. For $1,000- $1,999 in Ad Package purchases, you’ll receive 6 months Exec. VIP membership level, and for $2000 or more in Ad Package purchases, you’ll receive 1 year Exec. VIP membership level upgrade.

Do I have to pay a membership fee?

No. If you just want to be a passive member in ASD and receive cash back rebates from your ad purchases, you don’t need to pay a monthly membership fee. It’s primarily for people who choose to refer other advertisers or want to increase the frequency that they can withdraw their profits. If you don’t pay a membership fee and you decide to refer others (optional), you’ll be paid a 3% referral commission on all of your personal referrals only.

What payment processors are available?

Currently Alert Pay, Solid Trust Pay ,direct deposit into Bank of America account, cashier checks and mail in money order. Soon to come will be an International Debit card

What happens if I’m unable to view and rate websites on any given day?

If you miss a day and you’re unable to view and rate ads (for any reason) you don’t lose anything, it just freezes and extends the time line until you come back.

Personal opinion: From everything I’ve researched, Andy Bowdoin is a man of integrity who does what he says he’s going to do. He has a rock-solid business plan and experience based on verifiable and publicly available information. Everything is very transparent.

His business model is a win win for everyone and very lucrative for both passive and active members. Advertisers who simply want to be sure their website get seen, get exactly what they pay for.

Entrepreneurs who want a passive way of growing their money, get the ability of doing so for simply viewing ads daily. They get quality prospects visiting their websites which will ultimately turn into sign ups, sales, or more business partners.

You can get a 25% bonus on your advertising dollars spent for simply investing 10 minutes per day to view others sites. So if you purchase $1,000 in advertising from ASD, you’ll get paid daily until you receive $1,250 back. It doesn’t matter if you purchase an ad for $10 or $500… if you do nothing else but view ads, the results are the same and you’ll eventually earn 125% of what you spend (25% net profit).

If you look at their Alexa traffic ranking in the chart below, you’ll see that there’s tremendous momentum with this program right now.
