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 removed from the cost (300 vs. $300)
3. Selling offers as a one deal instead of a full package. Your clients want to know what is the deal now, not what they get on their 4th deposit.
4. Make your deal exclusive for them, your customers want to feel unique. Give it to them!

Don't forget the most important rule, the $100 RULE:
1. < 100
If the price is less than $100 show the discount as percentage
2. > 100
if the price is more than $100 show the discount as amount

RFM algorithm

Let's jump right into the stuff we only have two minutes :-). In this post I would like to write about the RFM algorithm. RFM analysis assigns value-scores to each customer on the basis of her past behavior. Using the quintile system explained above, at the most, 125 different scores (5x5x5) can be assigned. These cells differ in size from one another. A customer’s score can range from 555 being the highest, to 111 being the lowest. The best customers are in quintile 5 for each factor (555) that have purchased most recently, most frequently and have spent the most money. RFM provides a simple framework for quantifying customer behavior. For example, it is possible to infer that customer which has RFM score 155, has made a high number of purchases with high monetary values but not for a long time.  Something might have gone wrong with this customer, for example, he/she has most likely defected to a competitor's products and services or has found an alternate source and th...

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...

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!
