The Right Content to Incorporate into Your Gaming Marketing Plan

No matter what industry you work in, whether it’s gaming, retail, or just about anything else, content marketing is a great way to inform people about your brand. Content marketing works because it offers genuine value to a potential customer.

Just remember that there isn’t one type of content you can share with your followers. Different formats may be ideal for different purposes, and all come with their own best practices. For example, if you focus on an email driven campaign, it’s important to use an email verifier and track metrics. With a social media based strategy, interacting directly with customers is key.

The following are some of the more popular content marketing options. Keep them in mind when designing your next campaign, and decide which are useful for your brand.

Blogs

Blogging about topics your customers are interested in helps you establish your company as an authority in the industry. It also ensures customers associate your brand with their interests.

For example, if you’re marketing a new video game, maintaining a gaming blog devoted to industry news lets you develop a community of followers who’ll be more likely to trust you and buy your products. Including the right keywords in posts also boosts your odds of being discovered through relevant Google searches.

Email

Despite representing one of the “older” forms of online content marketing, email still delivers extremely strong results. This is true even when a company targets Millennials.

Email promotes brand loyalty by maintaining lines of communication with your followers. Most people who engage with a brand don’t become loyal to it right away. They need to have several positive experiences with the company to reach that stage. Through email marketing, you can sustain the initial interest a potential customer had in your business over a long period of time.

Social Media

Social media gives you the chance to reach a larger audience than other marketing channels might otherwise allow. Facebook alone boasts 2.19 billion active monthly users.

Social media is also effective because it allows marketers to engage their customers in conversation. Studies show that Millennials reject traditional advertising methods that single them out or condescend to them. They’d prefer to engage with a brand in a way that involves active participation on both their and the marketer’s part.

With social media, you can join in conversations via hashtags, solicit your customers’ reactions to a recent story in your industry, and interact with them directly when they comment on a post.

Video

There are many potential distractions on the internet. That’s why most people don’t finish articles they start reading online.

Video is useful for content marketers because it lets you talk about your product in a spirited and compelling way. For instance, if you wanted to prove to gaming fans that an upcoming release is worth their time, you wouldn’t simply publish a story highlighting its features. Instead, you’d create a dynamic video that demonstrates the gameplay experience.

Using video makes the product more tangible and attractive to a potential customer. On top of that, it grabs their attention and keeps it in a way other forms of content simply can’t.

Experiment with all these types of content to find out what works best for you and your customers. The most effective strategy will likely involve a combination of each. You’ll get the best possible results when you monitor your campaigns, tracking what does and does not work. Doing so also helps you craft stronger content to share with your customers in the future.

First iGB Affiliate Manager Academy to shine a light on effective AI-Driven affiliate recruitment strategies

Organisers of July’s edition of iGB L!VE – the first to be held in London – have announced the launch of the AI focussed iGB Affiliate Manager Academy which will be held July 1 as part of London iGaming Week.

The training and mentorship program which is being curated in partnership with Affiverse, founded by veteran affiliate marketer Lee-Ann Johnstone – and which guides businesses on how to launch, scale and grow successful affiliate programs, has been designed to help organisations of all sizes understand how to leverage new tactics and simple AI tools to recruit, retain and activate affiliates more effectively.

The Academy will offer a mix of practical learning, tactical assessments and personalised coaching providing affiliate managers with an invaluable opportunity to learn from industry leaders. Each unique session will include topical insights drawing on the dominant trends in the market.

Looking ahead to the Academy Lee-Ann Johnstone said: “I’m delighted that Clarion has invited Affiverse to develop a bespoke training academy specifically for iGaming Affiliate Managers.

“In an industry that’s constantly evolving, and which is powered by the early adoption of new technologies, businesses and affiliate managers have to keep learning in order to remain competitive. The only way we get to understand the affiliate space and all the complexities it entails is on the job – from others!

“It has always been important to me that those who have knowledge pay it forward and I’m really excited to be given the task of leading the curation of this unique event bringing the best of the best together in order to teach, train and coach affiliate managers as we move forward.

“The gap between AI-empowered affiliate managers and those relying solely on traditional methods is widening every month. The iGB Affiliate Manager Academy will provide the bridge to ensure businesses are on the right side of that divide.”

Reflecting on the importance and objectives of the iGB Affiliate Manager Academy, Global Portfolio Director Naomi Barton said: “Our live events are all about delivering real value to our international community of stakeholders. Lee-Ann and her team at Affiverse are spearheading the academy syllabus and content stream alongside IGB’s events production team to provide tailor made training and mentoring for new and existing affiliate managers as well as those who want to learn and scale their affiliate programs faster.

“The workshop will provide insider access to the exact AI-driven techniques that are assisting brands to deliver real results. Most significantly this isn’t just theory — instead it’s a hands-on expert-led roadmap focussing on immediately implementable tactics that will transform your program performance.”
