In January 2011 Foviance will be opening the CRM track at one of the largest events of the gaming calendar, the ICE Conference in London. Our session will be entitled: ‘CRM and Loyalty in the Gaming Sector: Examining the Current State of Play’.

For the session, we have chosen to conduct research using a panel of more than 200 players and punters in order to better understand how they think organisations should be focusing their efforts in order to deliver improved CRM and loyalty.

On a similar note and to ensure that our clients get the best out of the research, we have chosen to let them set the agenda and tell us what three questions they would like answered by the players and punters, so that we can include them in the research.

We will collate all the questions, group them appropriately and then build them into a survey which our gaming consultants will then conduct among our panel of players and punters.

The research will form a significant piece of work, comparable to that which we would typically carry out for our gaming clients. Therefore we encourage our clients to put some real thought into what they’d like to gain from the research that might help with the shaping of their CRM strategy.

At ICE we will be presenting the generic results from the survey, however as a follow up we will also be the offering the opportunity to all our clients to sit down in a one-to-one meeting to understand what players and punters said about their organisation specifically, and to understand how that feedback compares to our averages.

So, if you’re representing the gaming sector why don’t you send across your three burning questions that you’d like answered to help to inform, design and assess your CRM/loyalty strategy to Jamie Barnett Or if you wish to discuss it in ore depth, call contact me on 0845 054 6500.
