A Little Talk About Social Media with Casino Marketers

If you are a regular casino customer, stop reading now. I want to talk with the casino people.

 

How Not to Use Twitter (advice for casino marketers)

I got to chatting with @playerspot and @EastCoastGamblr on twitter the other day when I started venting about DM’s I get. Ignoring the obvious “make money with your tweets!”,  “I’m a social media expert to help you get more followers!” and other spam here are some #FAIL examples from more serious tweeters and businesses. (note, I hate to slam the folks doing it wrong so the names and companies are not listed – besides, we on twitter know who you are 😉 )

 

Sam’s Town And The Cycle of Gaming

You remember the water cycle from junior high earth science, right? Rain falls, it feeds the flowers and makes rivers, it flows to the ocean, it evaporates, and becomes clouds and then rain.

Casinos have a cycle too. Marketing does promotions to get business, customers get deals and head to the casino towns to take advantage of the deals, the town profits from visitors eating at the restaurants and staying at the hotels, casinos make more money, and do more promotions.

And the customers that have a good time?  They tell their friends.
