Marketing Strategy of Skyroot Aerospace

Let’s now dive into the marketing strategy of Skyroot Aerospace and see what they have for us.

Segmentation, Targeting and Positioning

Skyroot Aerospace targets the Government for now. Basically, they want to make space travel much easier and cheaper in a comfortable way. They are now at the testing stage. Since they are currently working on launching products for the Government, they do not take everyday consumers as their target audience. Their target audience in the future may be the normal people who wish to do space tourism since that is their goal. 

In terms of targeting people for job employment, they approach graduated students who wish to contribute to the development of space technology. It can be both male and female in terms of gender, regardless of their income. They want people who will remain loyal till the end and not switchers. As the government is the target audience, for now, they want young and innovative minds for the project.

The company is developing 3 rockets altogether – Vikram 1, 2, and 3. Vikram 1 is planned to be launched by the end of 2022 in December. They have tested Dhawan-1 which is their cryogenic engine. This is to be fixed in the upper state of the company’s rocket Vikram 2. 

Skyroot Aerospace has made its positioning in the market as the first start-up space company to raise a capital of $17M. It is classified as a Non-government company. It is not in the minds of the people but it surely is in the minds of the Government.


Marketing Campaigns

Skyroot Aerospace now does not have any marketing campaigns. Skyroot Aerospace uses the same marketing techniques as its competitors are using. The marketing campaign which they can follow from their competitors is advertising on television, launching an advertisement in newspapers, launching a short corporate film, and other marketing ideas.

Skyroot Aerospace launches such advertisements and other media campaigns to increase its presence in India and other foreign countries.


Social Media Marketing

Skyroot Aerospace is active on LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. It has a lot of followers on LinkedIn, which is then followed by Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, and last on Facebook. Since Skyroot Aerospace is a space tech company, it does not really deal with products for everyday people. Hence, it is largely followed on LinkedIn as it is a social platform for business. They have a total of 96,944 followers on LinkedIn, 20.2K followers on Twitter, 14.5K followers on YouTube, 8,692 on Instagram, and 4,616 followers on Facebook. Their posts are mostly promotional and also posts dedicated to the great people of our country. 

SEO Strategies

Marketing Stratergy of Skyroot Aerospace - SEO

As you can see in the above image, Skyroot Aerospace does not have an excellent Seo strategy. While their organic monthly traffic may be good, the rest is very low. Their organic keywords are just 481, which is not a good sign. Their domain authority is 28 which means it is not good at all and they have to work hard on improving their website to keep it on a higher rank in the Google organic SERP results.

Influencer Marketing

Skyroot Aerospace has had no celebrities or influencers tied up with them. Since it is a space tech company and does not sell a general product for everyday people.


E-commerce Strategies

Skyroot Aerospace is a non-government organization. It produces space tech and launches products for the government. It does not wish to sell to everyday people. Hence, they have no e-commerce strategies. 

Mobile Apps

Skyroot Aerospace has not launched any mobile apps to date.

Content Marketing Strategies 

Skyroot Aerospace is active on social media. It mainly has content about their events and tribute to well-known and the great people of our country, India. Their source of posting their content is through LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. Their website does not have much. It’s just a start page of something new that is soon coming up.

This ends our elaborative marketing strategy of Skyroot Aerospace. Let us conclude our learning below from the marketing strategy of Skyroot Aerospace.

In Skyroot Aerospace’s marketing strategy, we see that it is a company that does not sell to everyday people. It makes launch vehicles for the government. It is not much known among people.
