Salesforce for iGaming
Cash-out the competition by handing your players exactly what they want with Salesforce’s tailor-made iGaming solutions.
Salesforce for iGaming: Capabilities
The competition in the iGaming industry is fierce without Salesforce to even out the odds
iGaming grows by leaps and bounds year after year, and even economy-wide dips are smaller in the industry when compared to the market’s median. But while the number of operators is also on a steady growth, the number of players is not. In fact, players have trouble differentiating brands, a major possible inflection point since 29% of players are there to have fun, not to win.
Therefore, investing in player experience, with great interfaces, promotions, and support systems, is paramount to make your brand stand out. There’s where Salesforce comes in: there’s hardly a better way to understand your player’s needs than a state-of-the-art CRM solution.
Key points
Improved player acquisition and retention
Through personalized marketing activations
Paired with real-time data analytics
Leading to exponential ROI growth
How to win with Salesforce in iGaming
Acquisition, engagement, retention: a powerful CRM platform boosts all three main pillars of player enticement by streamlining advertising, enabling cross-selling, improving customer service, and most importantly — allowing iGaming operators to better understand how their players behave.
Drivers
An iGaming company can only grow so much before there’s too much data to handle, the need to get rid of overwhelming manual processes or better automate player engagement. There’s where Salesforce steps in.
Benefits
In short: reduced costs and increased revenue. Salesforce achieves the former by optimizing resources in general (and especially on player acquisition), and the latter by increasing productivity, consolidating customer data, and, therefore, delivering smarter and faster customer service.
Adoption
Every adaptation process is daunting at first. Don’t fret though, because the strategic value of Salesforce comes out real fast by obsoleting spreadsheets, automating redundancies, and giving your team a way easier time.
Challenges
Common Salesforce challenges, usually triggered by poor implementation, include a low rate of user adoption, how hard it can be to customize it, and data migration complexity. Luckily, those concerns vanish into the thin air with an experienced partner at your side.
The dynamics of iGaming players
Understand why Salesforce has all the correct tools, aligned along every strategic step of the player’s journey, to generate value for both the company and the players.
Acquisition
Salesforce leverages data, including from current players, to nudge you towards key media channels and automate email / SMS campaigns that attract the most valuable player segments to you based on preexisting patterns.
Engagement
Once they’re in, Salesforce is invaluable to ensure a seamless player journey from registration to entertainment. Player data and behavior step in to deliver personalized offers that keep players engaged.
Retention
Automated loyalty programs, milestone celebrations, and new offers wrap up the relationship development Salesforce excels at, building a long-term trust between the brand and the players to edge up chances they’ll keep coming for more.
Salesforce products in action
The Salesforce ecosystem englobes many different solutions for every link of the customer chain. Let’s have an in-depth look into how they all come together to provide a brand‑defining player experience.
