A static approach doesn’t work in a highly dynamic environment
Historically Sydney Airport parking
Had been priced on a one size fits all approach
Had fixed pricing, regardless of time of day, demand and usage patterns
Had not adjusted its pricing or products to reflect the changing passenger mix
Was not fully cognisant of the highly competitive nature of the parking business
Was not communicating effectively with it’s existing potential customers

Segment Focussed Customer Research
Cost
• Primary consideration across different passenger groups (less so for business traveller)
• Is considered as a proportion of the total trip cost
Convenience
• Traded off against cost, time and comfort (eg trains often not considered by those on the northern beaches)
Customer Experience
• A previous negative experience will often mean that a transport option will be excluded from future consideration
• A positive experience will mean it will continue to be used without serious consideration of alternatives until a negative experience disrupts this
Awareness of Options
• Lack of awareness and understanding of transport options will exclude them from being considered (eg knowledge of our various product and pricing options)
