Casinos
Casinos are in many ways akin to retail businesses in that revenue
and profitability are directly related to the quality of the customer
experience. There is however one key difference, unlike retail they
cannot simply increase the size or number of business units to grow
revenue. They must therefore achieve this through a continued focus
on customer service and efficiency
"Reveal has quite literally been a revelation for us. It has
helped us to see aspects of our customers and business that we did
not know, we did not know. We have invested heavily in establishing
a contemporary business intelligence infrastructure in the last two
years. Reveal is one of the key tools within the suite of analytical,
visualisation and mining tools that we currently use within the business.
We see the further development of this tool in particular, adding significant
additional value to our analytical capability.
In addition, the relationship that we have established with Reveal
has been invaluable. The partnership approach that has been developed
between our organisations adds significant value for both of our businesses.
We value this relationship highly".
Don Jones, Director of Planning and Development at Jupiters
Some Key Benefits for Casinos using the Reveal system are:
- A powerful tool to gauge the effectiveness of discounted/subsidized
facilities or promotional events used as a marketing strategy
to attract people to the casino gaming floor
- With real-time monitoring
of traffic within the establishment casino executives can accurately
determine the proper times to open and close
tables to provide the atmosphere they desire
- Optimization of staff
to customer ratios to ensure appropriate proactive deployment
of security, dealers, cocktail waitresses, etc
- Combining Reveal traffic
data with slot and table games management systems to evaluate
potential demand against achieved revenue and
to evaluate the product mix to maximize revenues
As one marketing director told us, " It is very simple. The
number of customers times the player gaming ratio equals revenue. My
job is to increase the total number of people that visit the casino
and hopefully attract the type of customer that will be comfortable
in our casino and spend their time and money here. Now, when revenue
changes from historical trends, I can identify whether the change (good
or bad) is the result of our external marketing operation or internal
customer satisfaction. Before, I was just guessing."
