Blue Ocean Opportunities in the Red Ocean of Social Casino
For those of you who were not at Casual Connect and missed my talk on Blue Ocean opportunities in social casino and why they are the best path forward, below is a copy of my deck. The key takeaways are
- Social casino is one of the bloodiest of red oceans, with excellent well-financed companies competing ferociously. The best path to success is to take a Blue Ocean approach.
- Blue Ocean is all about turning non-customers into customers, rather than competing for the same customer.
- You do this by looking at what you can remove from the existing product offering, what you can add, what you can increase and what you can reduce. This leads to a new offering that appeals to new users.

The presentation will focus on the opportunities to use analytics beyond what is commonly being done in the social gaming space, a topic I have blogged about a few times. First, I will look at the current state of analytics in the social gaming space.
