Hi again,
here is part of a letter I recently wrote an aff manager
when I have a whale disappear and I make such an offer to a program and they
are anything but thrilled that I am willing to go this extra mile to get
that large player back in the casino so they can start losing those large
numbers again – well its a lot easier to think that the program must have
siphoned-off , cross-marketed without my getting credit; etc; than it is
to believe that the casino would rather rely on its own (obviously)
unsucessful means of retaining the players.When the player is lost and not playing for more than a month or two; then,
especially then, what does the casino have to lose by allowing me to add
some kind of little area off to one side of the email they send; that says
something like; “hey, don’t forget your play at these casinos is 3rd-party
guaranteed…”from all that I’ve seen casinos do to get converted players, they seem
willing to stop short of nothing, except give me the chance to get those
oh-so-hard to get real depositing players, back to the casino and playing.I mean at some point even the most optimistic manager will have to admit it
looks like that player isn’t coming back; and the very least I think a true
“partner” could do; is to give me the last shot at bringing back that
person that was losing literally $1000s a month to the casino.To what defense of reason or logic is it to not give us affiliates a last
chance?Unless that player hasn’t been lost. You see my point of view?
my suggestion never allows the affiliate to know the email address of the
player, which in itself is kinda bullshit because if we’re partners, then
lets act like it; but I know that is a separate matter. My idea keeps the
privacy in check; has the casino with the last say about the email that
goes out; but merely adds a small logo with a chosen few words from the
site they originally chose the casino thru.And I remind you that by the time we reached the point I would become
involved even to this minimal amount; would be when all else was considered
lost.Now if the player hasn’t been siphoned-off to someplace where the program is
making money on them; then I ask you what possible logical reason is there
for not trying this?
this is a huge matter and I truly wish more would get behind me on this.
The aff programs don’t have a damn leg to stand on for a reason for not doing this unless that whale hasn’t really been lost at all.
It takes all of about 5 min time per email per whale lost; (which I’d hope isn’t very many per day, right?) for somebody from the program to send us the email intended for the whale, and let us put a small logo and a few choice words in the letter. and then send it back for them for inspection before they sent out the letter.
Oh ya, and what a selling point for the aff programs to gain more webmasters. Who wouldn’t run to program willing to work with them like this?
