Are you getting quality traffic from your affiliates?

The most important rule when you want to acquire new traffic is to match your capabilities/strengths with the affiliate's traffic. Meaning if you know how to treat customers from Australia go acquire clients from Australia. If you have only support in English don't buy traffic that doesn't understand English.

Don't mislead your customers on the very beginning (actually I would say never mislead them, but most important things is always start on the right foot).

I've seen companies promoting games that customers couldn't play. So why are you promoting these games? What are you trying to achieve? only good click to signup rate? What about where the money really counts, good conversion rate!

Most of your budget every month goes to acquiring new traffic so why not buy what you know you can CONVERT? The key to preventing over spending on this traffic is to be quick determining if the clients signing up with you are quality or not.

This is why I developed the Priority Potential RFM.  This algorithm takes your own data and tells you on which customers you need to focus, which customers you need more of.

For example if you know that 80% of your German customers close their accounts on the first few days after purchasing for the first time, will it be wise to acquire traffic from Germany?

If your Australian customers lead by conversion rate and CLV will it be smart to invest more money acquiring more customers from Australia?

What I'm trying to say is: BE SMART WHEN YOU ACQUIRE NEW TRAFFIC do research, analyze your data, know your strong/weakness points and buy traffic according to that. NOT ACCORDING TO OUTSIDE COMPANIES THAT DON'T UNDERSTAND YOUR BUSINESS!

Don't forget you are acquiring traffic to grow your business not because its nice to have.

As we say RSG:
1. Ready (can you deal with customers from that market) - Analysis
2. Set (Test all the flows and communication methods you are going to treat these customers) - Testing
3. Go (Acquire customers from that Market) - Acquisition

Steve Jobs said it best: "If you really look closely, most overnight successes took a long time"

The innovators and the early adopters, can you spot them?

Before I start this post. I would like to thank TED talks for helping me enrich my world of marketing and more. One of the best talks I ever heard was made by  Simon Sinek  and was about how great leaders inspire action. In this post I would like to emphasis the change in my approach towards contacting customers and in which way to do it. Simon presented the following diagram: We need to talk to our customers from the inside to the outside. Conveying why we do things, how we do it and at last the what we do. As Simon said, people follow the why you do it and not the what you do.  Then he spoke about the innovators and the late adapters using the following diagram: Where he brakes down your customers into groups, where the innovators pass your story along with the early adopters.  The 80/20 rule also can be adjusted according to this diagram: 1. The Innovators - 2.5% - your top VIPs 2. Early Adopters - 13.5% - 2nd level VIPs 3....

Terminology you should know before starting your online gaming company

In this post I will try to layout the most important terms you need to know before starting an online gaming business. GGR, NGR, KPI, ARPU, CPA, CR and CLV. Of course the most important thing is understanding your goal. What do you want from your clients? What should they do? During my years in many online companies our goal was to buy DEPOSITS (i.e get 10% for xxx deposit, and so on). These days the goal is for players to play on their money as much as they can. In order to understand your goal in nowadays online casinos. You will need to understand a few key terms: Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) is the amount wagered minus the winnings returned to players, a true measure of the economic value of gambling. GGR is the figure used to determine what a casino or other gaming operation earns before expenses like salaries and taxes are paid. GGR is the equivalent of “sales” not “profit” . Net Gaming Revenue (NGR) Net Gaming Revenue (NGR) is defined as gross bets le...

Building your emails, how to do it right!

When writing an email to promote a discount, update terms and conditions, or announce an important message you should follow some key points. I have two: 1. Tech side (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) 2. The HTML/Text part or content part . The tech side: In the world today when the war on spam is becoming more and more sophisticated  its important to understand some configuration you need to do in order to authenticate your sender and make sure your clients receive your emails.  1. SPF Sender Policy Framework (SPF) is a simple email-validation system designed to detect email spoofing by providing a mechanism to allow receiving mail exchangers to check that incoming mail from a domain comes from a host authorized by that domain's administrators.
