Gaming is becoming more complicated, while at the same time less concentrated. For clubs and pubs to be successful, gaming and marketing need to work closely and player communication and experience has to be improved.

Delivered by experienced and respected Marketing and Gaming specialists currently working in the industry, this ‘masterclass’ covers the critical elements required for being a successful marketer and a proactive gaming manager in the modern club and pub industry.

FOR MARKETING MANAGERS & COORDINATORS

Many marketers are still allocating most of their time and resources to club activities that do little to deliver to the bottom line. They need a better understanding of gaming and this class will get them on track.

Marketers require a better understanding of gaming needs, gamers motivations, how to communicate with different types of gamers and how to enhance the player experience.  When it comes to rewards and promotions, marketers must have a handle on what motivation a particular gamer, as well as understanding their return on investment (ROI) and how much they should be spending on these programs. Marketers also need to know what gaming data they should be looking at and tracking.

FOR GAMING MANAGERS & COORDINATORS

Gaming managers need to understand what marketing can do to advance player development and ultimately their bottom line. Marketing is the communication arm of your business, but are you effectively engaged with your different gamers, or just guessing? Are gaming managers sharing data and information that marketers need to be more effective and are they tapping into marketing data to better understand their gamers and their different motivations? Are they using marketing profiles when making decisions on gaming purchases and floor layout?

Course Highlights include:

  • the key areas of business focus with a strong emphasis on Gaming Marketing.
  • marketing’s role in the player experience
  • the different types of gamers and how to communicate effectively with them
  • rewards programs – does yours drive revenue or is it just a cost of doing business?
  • strategic planning and budgeting
  • compliance
  • what ROI do your gaming promotions deliver?
  • data analytics – and what data is key for decision making and reporting
  • communication, segmentation, targeting and new technologies
  • the right machines for your market

Attendees also receive a comprehensive workbook with essential templates for budgeting and reporting.
