Here are the 5 Best Marketing Campaigns for Gaming Ever by OptiKPI:

Welcome Campaign

A good player onboarding program gives you a significant edge over your competitors. We highly recommend you to read Best Player Onboarding strategies. Welcome campaigns are by far one of the most critical marketing campaign strategies. They act as a reception and let your players know that they have come to the right place. The signup process is the perfect opportunity for you as a gaming operator to establish your stance. Make sure to guide all your new users with love and care. With effective welcome campaigns, you can make new players feel at home with ease.

Activation Campaigns

So, you have successfully acquired new players for your platform; what next? Convert them into FTD first-time-depositor! Acquiring new players by and in itself is a huge accomplishment, but what is the use if your players are not activated? If there is a vast difference between your user registration and FTD rates, it means that you are in desperate need of an activation campaign.

OptiKPI’s Activation campaigns help you convert new players into first-time depositors with ease.

Example: Right after the Welcome campaign, track the FTD of new registrants (after 24 hours / 48 hours / 72 hours / one week). Combine multiple communication channels - Email, Push, and SMS to reach your players with different bonus offers. Build a complete Journey with OptiKPI to boost the conversion rate.

Target Marketing Campaigns

Don’t hope for hit-and-miss campaigns to bring in desired results. Strive for Target marketing! Read - Taking advantage of player behavior to understand Target marketing completely. Here, we would like to explain the importance and implementation of target marketing campaigns. These campaigns work best only when you know your target audience. It is a prerequisite that you have a good understanding of your players.

OptiKPI empowers you to understand your players by gathering player activities right from the very beginning. Know your player's favorite games, their gaming routine, and much more. Target them with personalized campaigns to achieve incredible ROI’s.

Examples:

• Based on the sum of FTD: Group your players into three tiers - High, Mid, and Low (based on their FTD sum). Thus, you can reach different levels of players with relevant offers. Read Campaign Flow for more details.
• Based on favorite games: Identify your players' favorite games and send personalized offers based on those games. For example, Slot Games players = Slot Game special offers; Sports Book players = Sports Book special offers.

Stop-Loss for Churn Campaigns

The number one enemy to any growing business is its high churn rates. You have to understand that churning cannot be wholly eradicated but to succeed in the long run, you need to bring your churn rate under control.

How to control churn rates? Churn prevention campaigns are your best bet. With OptiKPI’s assistance, you can break the churn cycles that hinder your progress. OptiKPI helps you to create a meaningful connection with your players. Read 9 highly effective churn rate prevention strategies for preventing churn like a pro!

Reactivation Campaigns

What will you do when a player leaves your gaming site/ app? Try getting them back! But how? Reactivation Campaigns. Successfully getting ex-players back into your platform fetches you more than what meets the eye. It comes with numerous cost-cutting benefits such as not needing to spend large sums on player acquisition, educating them about your games, etc.

OptiKPI makes the seemingly impossible possible! With solid reactivation campaigns, you can make inactive players, active and ex-players, loyal. Identify the moments that matter and deploy necessary actions in real-time with our software.

Example: When a player is inactive for more than a week, send an automated gentle reminder email with a special bonus on the player’s favorite game. If the player is inactive for two months - send super good exclusive offers (Play Now!) to reactivate the player. Want to save players who are about to drop?
