Over the last decade, the casino industry has wisely moved to utilize multi-channel digital marketing. Although direct mail is still the preferred channel of casino players, the need to fully embrace digital marketing is crucial to successfully expanding a casino’s players club. Casinos need to communicate using channels and media that their potential customers regularly use to engage and entice them to visit their property.

As we all know, no business can grow and thrive by remaining static and ignoring changing demographics. Each generation has characteristics that must be understood to effectively communicate and provide experiences that engage patrons to become loyal customers. The gaming industry is keenly aware of this and has been urgently focused on steps to modify their marketing strategies and their casino environment to appeal to the younger generation without interfering with the experience of their core players. The casino industry mainstay demographic, Baby Boomers (ages 52-70), will eventually “age-out”, and growth for the gaming industry will rely on their ability to adjust to generational preferences, especially the Millennials.
