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"

Customer Life Cycle

Simple and easy way to understand your customer's road map (also known as customer's life cycle) As you can see I separated the customer's life cycle to 4 stages.  1. when he gets to your site 2. when he signs up 3. when he makes his first purchases (retention only starts after four* purchases) 4. retention stages  * you can define different quantities and also change it to days/months of activity. I just think you need to understand that most customers will purchase only once - twice with you. So you need to treat them differently and show them the way to become loyal high value customers!

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...

Psychology Is Everything

When it comes to purchasing a product customers will buy what they think is the best deal for them, because psychology is everything. This is why it's really important to know how your customers think. A while ago I decided to test this philosophy and offered two amazing deals for our clients to choose from: - One offer was deposit xxx and play with xxx. (for example: deposit 25 and play with 100 - 300% bonus) - Second offer was a flat percent bonus (for example 400% bonus). Even when the bonus offer was higher, more clients took the first offer, the fixed amount one. It led me to the conclusion that  YOUR CUSTOMERS UNDERSTAND SIMPLICITY. If its not simple your customers won't purchase. Percentage isn't simple as a stand alone number! If you want to use percentage use it as a comparison (i.e. 30% off). Few more points we found out: 1. Clients took more offers like deposit $29 than deposit $24 offers (9 vs 4). 2. Clients spent more when the dollar sign was remov...
