God of Prime Cards

Gamblers

Each casino has a system of cards, nevertheless, it's possible to allocate four basic types of the cards corresponding to the status of the player: guest, silver, gold and platinum.

From Guest to the Platinum!

When the visitor of a casino crosses for the first time a threshold of a gambling institution, for such client the simple card is created (guest card), simultaneously with it occurs registration of the client in a casino database, (is create photo for a card), at the same stage check presence of the given player at stop sheet.



StardustFor authenticity of the information and in order to avoid roguish actions all personal data for primary registration in a casino undertake from the passport of the client. So, for the first time going to a casino for rest and test of the happy fate, do not forget to take with itself the passport.



Thus, actively visiting a casino, playing and winning, or, on the contrary, losing a part of the means, the player can count on advancement forward the status in a casino. Than more actively the client is gaming in gamblings, — than is more chances to receive a gold or VIP-card.

Adv of Club Card from 1986

Live Gambling's Marketing

Gambling's manager

In given article, I will in detail stop on one of the most interesting tools of management of a casino — the social marketing. Why the most interesting? Because a basis of any gambling are players and money. Thus, than more profits of a casino, — hence is more VIP-contingents, — from this follows, that the casino becomes more respectable.

Gold Strategy of Business

The gold rule of business is when 80% of profit of the company bring 20% of constant clients, — is ideal for a big casino. Thus the main tasks of a gambling institution — competently to allocate the best players (generous), to stimulate clients through various lotteries and constantly to involve the new players.



Club RoyaleA link between the player and a database, as a rule, is the Gold Card (or Privilege Club Card).



Gambling's managers also should be interested in unexperienced players. To involve the client is only 1/2 of the business, the main thing — to keep the client and to create atmosphere when, having spent one unforgettable evening in a casino, the player would want to return here necessarily.



Thus, the new player, as a rule, has poor enough knowledge of the numerous games, therefore to the new client is offered special instructions on game rules, and also the detailed list of possible prizes.

Key elements of such marketing on a level with studying, formation and satisfaction of requirements of buyers is realization and the control of the social programs directed on advancement of social ideas.

The effective moments

The 1st effect is a change of representations of spectators about any social problem. Literally everyone in the North America knows about how smoking of cigarettes and alcohol over-consumption is dangerous, however 40 years ago very few people knew about it.



For last 20 years people have in increasing frequency started to realize value of donors of blood. Undoubtedly, it happens basically thanks to discussion of a theme of a donors and transplantation in mass-media (BBC, CNN, Bloomberg) and other popular social networks (Facebook, MySpace, YouTube).

Media marketing

The 2nd positive effect of social advertising — the given advertising not only draws attention to the given problem, but also promotes the best susceptibility of an audience to similar problems further.



Though separate social advertising, can and will not induce the person immediately to address to the doctor, to be checked up on AIDS or a hepatitis, but this person can concern more seriously the following social advertising on other theme and will not lay for a long time on a beach, being exposed to dangerous influence of harmful solar beams.



In this plan the best social marketing network is Facebook promotion because the Facebook community is the most popular in the world.
