Customer Analytics for Casinos

Every casino manager knows that providing just a little better service than the competi­tion will shift the patron's share of wallet in his or her direction. Knowing what services mat­ter, how to best reach patrons, what to offer them and how to identify opportunities to attract new patrons is the real challenge. However, tracking each patron interaction and using that information to predict future behaviors, collect preferences, identify cross-sell and up-sell opportunities, and find new patrons will increase revenue and profits.

" Our profitability around marketing interventions programs is much higher because of the precision of understanding that SAS provides."

—David Norton

Chief Marketing Officer

How SAS® Can Help 

Understanding patron behavior is necessary for long-term growth and vital for survival in a highly competitive environment. We approach the problem by providing software and services to help you:

  • Gain a 360-degree view of the patron by automatically accessing, cleansing and consolidating disparate patron data into a single version of the truth.
  • Maximize patron satisfaction by using patron data to track needs and preferences and to identify opportunities to “wow” your patrons.
  • Increase retention rates by using predictive analytics to identify behaviors that signal attrition so you can do something about it before it happens – not when it's already too late.
  • Create highly effective promotions by using predictive analytics to target the right patron with the right offers, which will increase response rates and decrease costs.
  • Increase patron loyalty and maximize patron profitability by mining patron data to determine what drives loyalty and to identify promising cross-sell and up-sell opportunities.

Advanced customer analytics from SAS can unlock insights in your patron data, and you can use those insights to improve loyalty, increase retention and generate additional revenue and profits.
