An opportunity?

Here again. Air Miles with Aeroplan with the same car dealer. https://www.lairdwheaton.com/

It seems there's an opportunity for Futura in all of this. Just don't know how. Maybe with both loyalty programs. But Futura can't do this because of the agreement with Aeroplan for this particular industry category.

The dealers themselves are not obligated to be loyal only to Air Miles or Aeroplan. This makes for an unpredictable business environment. In any restructuring management has to take this into consideration. If they want to continue in the loyalty business, then discuss any future coarse of action with Aeroplan executives.

Maybe both Air Miles and Aeroplan, despite being competitors, could somehow complement each other in the car sales/service business. Maybe Futura could fit in somehow.

This is a big issue. How can Futura/Aeroplan compete? I think this is what management mean't by it being an unpredictable loyalty industry. Should Futura even continue with Aeroplan or else go ahead with their US expansion?https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:ORTSQ04ZKzIJ:media.gm.ca/content/Pages/news/ca/en/2013/Jan/0103_AirMiles/_jcr_content/iconrow/wordfile/file.res/0103_Air

Futura did not have many GM dealers signed on anyway, maybe 6 total. So it's not much of a concern with the Air Miles promotion. If anything, it showed Futura was well ahead of the times in pursuing the auto sales category.   Futura's website listing of  auto dealers was well advanced over anything Air Miles had. Also catering to the part/service category is well
