Phoenix Marketing International's Recent Study Reveals Which Casino Players Club Programs Are Currently Doing the Best Job of Meeting the Players' Needs
(PRWEB) January 16, 2014 -- Once used to simply track players’ frequency of play and award free play credits, many casinos’ Players Club programs are evolving into true loyalty programs. According to a recent study conducted by Phoenix Marketing International, consumers’ expectations of the programs exceed what many casinos are currently offering and many programs need to be modified to better reflect their customers wants and needs.
The Phoenix study, called Casino SCORES spoke with 3,000 people from the Mid-Atlantic region that belong to at least one casino Players Club program and visit a casino to gamble a minimum of three times a year. When asked the importance of numerous features and benefits of the program, not surprisingly the amount of free play offered, dining discounts and complimentary rooms topped the list. However, casino patrons also place heavy emphasis on free self-parking, complimentary access to casino events, early check-in/late check-out and special bonuses and promotions based on tier level achieved.
When asked to rate the value of Players Club program partners, the establishments that came out on top are restaurants, hotels, gas stations, grocery stores and other casinos.
