Thread: Does anyone in gambling use email marketing?

i know it's big in retail, but do people even utilize this method in gambling? are there any types of restrictions that one should know about before getting into email marketing???

not really done it yet, but just got my hands on a 10k player database so I'll give it a bash at some stage I think.

any tips?

I haven't personally done it myself in gambling, but have done it in retail.

All I can say is to make sure that you do it at the right time, and with the right promotion. it's a numbers game and all about the conversions with email marketing.

Based upon the amount of spam I get...yes people use email....

Don't ever use bought, rented or traded lists of email addresses, as all of that is spam....

Only lists of emails you personally collect from the recipient would not be spam.

Go to a place like Mailermailer and get a script there to place on your site to sign up people for a newsletter.

You can try it for free, signups are collected by mailermailer who sends out an opt in mail to confirm the person signed up for real and it's not someone playing tricks on another person.

So you have a double opt-in, which run trouble free. If there are complaints, mailer mailer deals with it. The stats rock, you can get to know your players because you see who clicked on what and you can follow everything.

I also use MailerMailer (I think on your recommendation Dom), quick and easy to set-up and also a free trial version.

Results are so/so, although I think they should improve.

I'll have to check that out. Thanks for the recommendation. Have you done email marketing to your players dominique?

GamesandCasino has a weekly newsletter....

Email is definitely worth exploring - I havebn't watched this yet but have a look at this session from London on email marketing http://www.casinoaffiliateprograms.c...ed/1/video/41/ We also have this session in Amsterdam on the first day:
