Affiliates want more regular content!

**pjotter** · 02-04-2012 11:06 AM

Just read at another portal that general and a common feedback from affiliates at ICE and LAC was that affiliates want more regular content!

I completely agree with this. I have actually signed up at some casinos just to get their newsletters, but it should be easier for affiliates to get this info. An affiliate newsletter once a month is not enough, if there are news, promotions and campaigns more frequently at the casinos.

I have recently asked an affiliate program to send me the newsletter of their casinos, but this wasen't possible. Can this really be true? Shouldn't it be possible for affiliates to get uneditted promotional material that is already made for players - and to get it automatically without having to make affiliate accounts in different language etc. to get all the news??

I agree with every word said.

Great insight pjotter- thank you so much for sharing in the forums.

From the affiliate programs that you're working with, what types of information do you want to receive regularly? Promotions, updates on new creative, details on top performing materials, top paid affiliates?

And... how often would you want to get this information?

I am looking for news about:
1) any player promotions coming up, both for new and existing players.
2) big winners
3) new games
4) other funny stories etc.

Number 1 is most important! And I would like the info when there are news, like a weekend casino tournament, a special valentine's day casino bonus code etc. etc. It doesn't have to be big, just heads up on what is happening.

What I do today is either sign up for the casinos in question to get their newsletters or I visit their sites on a regular basis. So it should be quite simple, the info is already available.

But I sometimes wonder why in this particular case it is NOT possible to get spammed with news about all of the above. Or to make a site where all the info is gathered... I don't know, but I could definitely save some time.

It is because the content is expensive. Casinos and gambling being a niche, it is difficult to get that quality material to post everyday. Most of the casino review sites and other blogs survive on the basis of few pages and repeated content. The user submitted content is never trustworthy because that may be copy/paste job. pjotter's observations are correct. But there is a way always. Though certain cost is involved with it. If the revenue generation makes a sense so would the original content to make available. The ROI rules everything.

This is interesting to me as an affiliate manager at BrightShare because we're always careful not to overly inundate (spam?) affiliates with the goings-on at our casinos.

You can get an automatic rss news feed for our premier casino - All Slots - on this page:
All Slots Online Casino | News

Just click on the orange rss feed symbol on the right side of the page - and voilla! - you'll be updated about everything going on for players at All Slots Casino.

Let me know how this works for you.......

Enjoy - Marcia

I'm glad you found it interesting. I was actually hoping to hear from some affiliate managers.

Actually, I wouldn't mind getting "spammed" with this stuff, but I can see it from your point of view as some (many) affiliates would probably not like to receive it. Hence, a RSS feed option could perhaps be a great solution. I have added it to iGoogle and I will use it to give you more exposure!

Big thanks!

I guess the RSS feed is available at many other casinos, so affiliate manager here is your chance. If your casinos have a RSS feed which is regularly updated please let me know!

I too want to be updated on promos regularly - often it's the only way you'll get exposure.

If it's in the mail, it gets up asap. Especially if it has banners with it.

I don't have tome to go to all the aff programs and look for things, and enough of them send me things to make it not necessary.

If you don't send me things, you are missing out.

Great thread! I´m personally hoping more big winner, bonus update and new game emails..

I'd like to see the information in the form of pollable rss or xml.
