Pre-Migration

At this stage, goal setting, data selection and communication issues are of the highest priority. Affilka by SOFTSWISS’ team suggests operators start with:

  • Clarifying the desired objectives and outcomes of migration and identifying the key metrics to track before, during, and after the process.
  • Determining specific data to migrate, including player and partner history.
  • Assigning a dedicated person within its team to streamline communication with platform provider specialists during the migration.

 

Migration

The primary aspects to address during the migration process include ensuring that all stakeholders are fully informed and aware of the process, preparing mapping files, and configuring the system. At this point, the required steps are: 

  • Informing all stakeholders about the migration schedule, timeline and any potential downtime.
  • Collecting and formatting all necessary mapping files according to the new platform’s requirements. The data must be clean, accurate, and up-to-date.
  • Configuring the new platform settings, including commission plans and referral links, to ensure that all integrations with other systems function correctly.

 

Post-Migration

At the post-migration stage, effective communication with affiliates, organisation of training, and post-migration monitoring are imperative for facilitating subsequent operational success. After the migration, Affilka by SOFTSWISS’ experts recommend the following:

  • Notifying affiliates about the migration. This allows them to update their referral links promptly, minimising the need for additional player migrations later.
  • Offering training sessions for affiliates and operator personnel on using the new platform and providing comprehensive guides and information resources, which can facilitate further operations.
  • Monitoring the system for any post-migration issues and gathering feedback from affiliates and staff. These actions can help identify the areas for improvement.

Implementing these steps will help ensure a successful migration, minimising disruptions and maximising the benefits of the new system​.

Anastasia Borovaya, Head of Affilka by SOFTSWISS, summarises: “The migration timeframe depends on how quickly the client prepares the mapping files. More data means a longer process, but it typically takes a few weeks for preparation and a few hours for migration to the production environment. Quick and clear communication with the client’s team is essential for a successful migration. When the client responds promptly and clearly, the migration progresses smoothly as planned.”

This strategic partnership will help Marathonbet to skyrocket its presence in the giant South American country with a population of over 215 million, boosting acquisition numbers in an increasingly competitive market.

A recent report by SOFTSWISS estimated that Brazilians participating in sports betting-related activity and online casinos in 2022 exceeded 46%.

The report also suggested the sports betting market in Brazil is significantly larger than that of online casinos. It is with these figures in mind that Marathonbet will seek to capitalise on.

By: Anastasiia Kapsha, Chief Marketing Officer at Alpha Affiliates

When we look back, even to just a decade ago, we can see just how far the affiliate marketing sector has come and the rapid advances as new technologies and tactics entered the sector. Affiliate marketers have witnessed first hand just how important it is to leverage these technologies and create new strategies to keep pace and engage audiences.

Today, amid the widespread interest in AI to deliver more personalised experiences, and shift to audiences seeking more captivating experiences from Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR and VR), the strategies for building and retaining engagement are changing.

To stay ahead and foster long-term engagement, affiliate marketers must familiarise themselves with the latest technologies, trends and techniques. Let’s look at the key trends ahead to driving engagement, and retention in 2024.

 

Leveraging AI to better understand your audience

AI has been much welcomed by marketing professionals, who are seeking more effective and efficient ways to connect with their audiences, and drive more personalised experiences. At Alpha Affiliates, we’re already seeing AI prove invaluable in areas such as banner creation, enhanced analytics and predicting user behaviour.

As well as supporting content creation, AI can amplify the effectiveness of campaigns, ensuring they resonate with the target audience. AI’s ability to analyse past patterns and behaviours, means affiliate marketers gain valuable insights which allow them to anticipate the actions a user will take, and offer more tailored content and promotions as a result.

In the iGaming sector, engagement is everything. Personalising affiliate marketing campaigns with the help of AI can be a gamechanger. Just imagine being able to predict when a user is likely to become a VIP player, and tailoring your marketing efforts accordingly. This level of personalisation not only enhances the user experience, but fosters long-term loyalty and engagement, as a result.

Embracing AI tools will be crucial in producing more effective, creative and impactful affiliate marketing campaigns in the iGaming sector.

 

Captivating audiences with immersive experiences

iGaming is all about excitement, interaction and engagement. We find that users want to experience more tangible, fun and immersive experiences. This is where Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) can be leveraged to create a sense of realness and blur the lines between the digital and physical world.

Although AR and VR technologies are still in developmental stages within the iGaming sector, they hold huge potential for captivating audiences and driving engagement. AR and VR can take campaigns in the iGaming world to new heights. Imagine an VR experience that transforms users to a virtual casino, surrounded with lifelike graphics and social interactions. By offering these immersive experiences, affiliate marketers can create “pinch me” moments that leave a lasting impression and foster deeper connections with their audiences.

 

Diversify your strategies to reach different audiences

The future is multi-channel. Diversifying content and communication channels is key to engaging different audiences across different platforms, and retaining them.

What is the most effective way to connect with your audience? How will they respond? These are a few of the key questions to ask yourself as an affiliate marketer working within the iGaming space. With these considerations, you can work out the best strategy based on your targets. It could be crafting blog posts that resonate with industry enthusiasts, or leveraging influencer marketing to tap into niche communities.

Taking a multi-channel approach that looks at diverse strategies, affiliate marketers can ensure that they can reach different audiences globally and provide value in a way that aligns with their audiences’ unique preferences, interests and tastes.

The reality is, the sector is constantly evolving. And with the introduction of new technologies and trends, affiliate marketing strategies have to evolve too. By embracing the latest technologies, diversifying communications with different audiences, and prioritising personalisation, affiliate marketers can position themselves for success in 2024 and beyond.
