Hi all,
I’m so happy to report that this month Brightshare met my expectations of a sponsor who has received the kind of exposure this group has seen for literally years.
Timing is excellent considering they had as of a month or so back, had their exposure cut back simply due to the fact they just hadn’t been performing even close to the next sponsor seeing such exposure.
i know a big part of this is due to the bundling situation which because of the fact that I have as many players here as I do: (this because I believe in these casinos and that enthusiasm carries over in my promotional efforts) …. in the end it always comes down to bottom line as I think most reasonably thinking affs and sponsors will understand and agree …
Kudos to Brightshare for reaching an expected reasonable bottom line which I base on comparison to other programs which enjoy as good/close to …. exposure as their casinos see.
Now I’m faced with the decision as to whether re-instate their exposure to that which I know they are capable of deserving … and only the next few months will dictate the direction where i go with this fact.
anyhow, I’m thrilled to see such a month that reinforces my confidence in this program and I truly hope the next few months will give me reason to increase their exposure … especially in a time when bottom line MUST dictate the exposure of a program simply due to the incredible pressure we affs are currently experiencing caused by the idiots in charge of making law in the states.
I very much hope further consideration is being done in respect to bundling by the powers that be at Brightshare/Jackpot casinos because I can almost promise this quality sponsorship program that their bottom line would benefit from re-thinking the bundling decision and I hope many affs will speak up here in this thread to that respect.
I know Dom has always been right there with me neck-to-neck in my position concerning the bundling policy and I very much feel our position is echoed by other affiliates who also have more than just a few players signed at the Jackpot casinos.
Further to make my point. I have this month a very well respected (and loved) sponsor whom I will remain anonymous in this thread out of respect to not stealing the moment from Brightshare: that has a big winner at one of their casinos. I would be facing a -$2500+ situation if not for them choosing to not bundle. As it is: I am at a +$1250 situation despite one of the casinos having me at a current -$3600+ position.
as it is with their policy, I can proudly promote to my players that I’ve had a huge $10,000+ winner at one of their casinos while still feeling it a smart business decision to leave them in prime spots. Yes I risk that many players will choose to join the casino where the big win has taken place, but I take consolation in the fact that next month I won’t have the worries that by getting many signups at one of their casinos … that I’ll be punished for this fact in respect to what i make from the other casinos in their group.
I so wish the powers-that-be at Jackpot/Brightshare would see the logic and reasoning in this fact and see the bigger picture in such respect.
I hope Brightshare/Jackpot understand I am speaking from a point of view where I truly believe it is to both our benefits they re-think the bundling policy.
Times being what they are: it is increasingly hard to find programs which are considered trustworthy. I consider this one to be but that well-deserved confidence is in the same respect wiped-out due to constant fear that having too many players signed with them will be a negative influence on bottom line.
To summarize: again I say KUDOS to Brightshare/Jackpot Factory for their showing me a month where the bottom line is in accordance to the expectations based on similar programs seeing similar exposure and I hope they understand that if I didn’t see such reason to bother to write this long post … I’d not have bothered.
Thanks folks for your consideration and understanding in this matter.
