Psychological costs can be reduced by eliminating or redesigning unpleasant or inconvenient procedures, educating customers, and retraining staff to be friendlier and more helpful. Physical efforts can be reduced during either the search or delivery process. More attractive visual environments, reduced noise, more comfortable furniture and curtailing offensive smells can decrease sensory costs. (Challenging; p. 142) 27.

8 Essay 43. Describe how airlines utilize revenue management to enhance profitability. Revenue management involves setting prices according to predicted demand levels among different market segments. Airlines utilize massive databases on past travel to forecast demand and attempt to allocate optimal capacity to the least price sensitive segments. For example, business travelers pay higher prices for booking flights closer to travel dates, whereas vacationers book in advance. Higher demand travel dates also garner higher prices. (Challenging; p. 146) 44. Give an example of a service firm that uses service recovery to compensate for overbooking and discuss how the firm compensates. A Westin beach resort frees up capacity by offering guests who are departing the next day the option of spending their last night a luxury hotel near the airport or in the city at no cost.

Members with monthly payment plans use the facilities with greater frequency. This indicates that capacity could be reduced and profits maintained by charging annual fees that are due outside of peak months. (Moderate; p. 158) 6-8
