The Mission
The second question...
that probably comes to mind is, ‘where does this information come from?’. Great question. This takes us to part 2 of the foundation upon which the usefulness of this site is built. Quite simply, all of the information made available on promotingbingo.com is from ‘veteran’ bingo managers; managers who have years of successful experience and know how to operate a successful hall. They know what it takes and have a bingo bag full of tips and tricks on how to fill the seats in their halls. The voluntary sharing of that information is what makes promotingbingo.com work. The website is designed as an information exchange service where bingo managers can exchange information between themselves about what works and what doesn’t in every area of bingo hall management.The first question...
that probably comes to mind is...’OK, great, sounds good but how do you accomplish that?’. It definitely can’t be done by just creating a website. But a website can be a tool that bingo managers can use to access useful, practical information on how to make their halls more competitive and attract more of those recreational dollars. It’s a matter of creating such a great player experience, in each hall, that the positive word of mouth created will attract new, and importantly, loyal players. Ok, great...
Next question...
‘How does it do that?’. A couple of different ways. First and foremost, there is the promotingbingo.com bulletin board. Here managers can retrieve information posted by other managers who have registered and are willing to share their successes as well as their ‘not-so-successes’. The key ingredient here that is essential to make this work is, Participation. The more managers who register and contribute, the more information that will be available for those managers who are looking for proven success stories that they can implement, to make their halls more competitive. And here is the bottom line...the philosophy if you will, of Promotingbingo.com: The more halls that are competitive for that recreational dollar, the more popular bingo will become. Create the positive word of mouth and more players will be attracted to your hall.
Another way information is circulated on the website is through submitted articles. Articles sent to promotingbingo.com are posted, under the appropriate heading, and the source of the information is credited. For example, one of the most popular areas of the website has been the ‘Bingo Promotion Ideas’. Each month there is a new, featured promotion idea that has been proven to be very successful. These are submitted by managers from around the country and posted for access by other managers. The details of these promotions are sometimes financially sensitive so they are password protected and only accessible by bingo management personnel.
Which brings us to another feature of the website. The bingo manager mail list. All bingo managers are encouraged to sign up on the website to join the promotingbingo.com email list. The benefits? E-mails are sent out 2-3 times a month notifying managers about new information added to the website including the password to the latest promotion idea.
Latest Bingo Technology
In order to become and remain competitive in the current technologically explosive environment, it is important to be aware of the technology options that are available to your hall. Some of these options could require a sizable capital investment. The decisions made, can effect the efficiency of your hall operation for years. The ‘Latest Bingo Technology’ section was developed to help provide as much information as possible about the various options. Here, vendors can highlight their latest and greatest products, upgrades, etc. Vendor participation is encouraged. The ‘Latest and Greatest’ topic on the bulletin board is where managers can post their own reviews of their existing technologies.
