Casual Connect Europe session on Lessons from Real Money Casino
I will be speaking next month at Casual Connect Europe on lessons from real money that give your free to play game a competitive advantage. If you are attending the show, please come by my session.
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.
