Free t-shirts and other non-cash incentives

[jetset]

Regarding parties for forum members, Casinomeister has for the past two or three years hosted a pub party for members in collaboration with Club World....and very enjoyable occasions they have been too. The ICE show towards the end of January sees many members in London, which is when these events are held.

Regarding T-shirts, Club Spades did an interesting promo this year, made more so by involving players in the design process. They held an online competition for a T-shirt design. Some really cool designs emerged. The story was in the Casinomeister News section. I thought it was a great idea because it involved player participation, delivered good designs and was great publicity.

I think most people get a positive vibe from a gift that shows they are appreciated....for many it's all about the cash, but there are also plenty of folks who are grateful for some other gift providing it's tastefully done and not too in-your-face commercial.

Ok, well we'll get working on it then--player driven suggestions (and we have a few designs we'll throw up there as well) and voting etc.

Definitely agree it should not be overly crass and commercial--luckily our logo doesn't even include the word casino, so you could wear it anywhere with pride.

By the way, you guys are massively under-served (unless you're all tiny players which I doubt) by the casinos you're using; I used to have an entire subdept just dealing with player gifts... and I will again once we get this thing humming along!

Cheers!

Im not going to say what group does this here in toronto as this is buzz thread.
One of my fav new casinos out there. Anyways not far from me one of the mg has a small office. As we all know their higher rollers are comp all the time with freebies, and just like using a air miles card and comp cards understandable.
What this outfit does is when they are changing over the gifts or overstocked they ship them to cdns at the low postal rates to clear them out. Great idea free stuff but it does get costly to the sender if sending from overseas.
I cant wait to see these designs and soon see instadebit in your lobby
hint hint lol

Cash is always king with me. But I must admit when an online casino does something special for a loyal player - that is aces in my books.

Like the time I won and the casino not only paid out quick - but they also gave me a diner for two as a bonus

Killing 2 birds with 1 stone Alex? I like it though. It's about time we raised the level of competition among casinos. We are giving them our money and still treated like trash. It's time to give 'em a buzz (no pun intended)
