The Fine Point Group Announces the Launch of LaserPointCRM™ System, the Gaming Industry's Easiest -- and most Powerful -- Database Marketing Solution

LAS VEGAS, June 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, The Fine Point Group, the casino industry's largest Las Vegas-based consulting and management firm, announced the launch of LaserPointCRM, the most powerful – and easiest to use – database optimization tool ever developed for the casino industry.

LaserPoint CRM is a cloud-based SaaS product – "software as a service" – that requires no onsite hardware or software and no incremental staff to operate.  The system promises 10 times the customization of typical casino direct mail programs, 15% increases in revenue and profits, and a 50% reduction in the time necessary on property to manage direct mail programs.  The base product is priced less than the cost of a typical senior-level DBA.

"For five years, The Fine Point Group has been providing customized database marketing solutions to casino operators in the U.S. and Canada.  In total, we have served more than fifty-five organizations in more than 25 states and provinces.  Without exception, all have seen material increases in revenue, market share, and profitability," said Randall A. Fine, the firm's founder and managing director.

"But along the way, we have consistently heard a few concerns.  First, many operators want a product they can touch and feel, not a consulting service.  They want sophisticated database marketing, but not have to keep consultants on board to get it.  They want power invested in their team, but they don't want the tool to be so overwhelming that no one can use it.  And they do not want to pay large consulting fees.   

"So six months ago we set out to develop a product that could solve for both of these issues.  How could we take our proprietary Algorithm-Based Segmentation and infuse it into a piece of technology that could be used – and drive value -- for both the largest billion-dollar operator AND the smallest tribal casino?  By systemizing our thinking – as opposed to constant customization by very expensive consultants – could we deliver our strategies in a much more cost-efficient manner?

"LaserPointCRM™ is the result of this effort.   It is a solution-in-a-box.  It is not a 'tool' that gives casino marketers one more thing to add to already busy schedules, but an answer for how to drive more business in ever-more-competitive markets.  Given that it leverages scalable cloud-based software, we are able to offer it at a fraction of our customized, high-touch, consulting services.  It is our hope that with LaserPointCRM, we take relationship marketing across our industry to a new level, allowing both large and small players alike to put the best, and most targeted, communications into the hands of consumers."

Companies subscribing to the LaserPointCRM SaaS product will be granted access to a custom, web-based platform, where they will receive multiple customized reports, analyses, and deliverables, including an Algorithm-Based Segmentation, a recommended direct mail file that can be sent directly to their print house, an evaluation of the prior month's programs, and a comprehensive dashboard of all rated play.   In addition, the base product includes a monthly teleconference with one of FPG's Senior Vice Presidents to review the material and answer particular questions.    Interested subscribers will also have access to FPG's traditional consulting services for customized work, but at preferred rates.

The Fine Point group will be offering a free, public webinar, on Thursday, June 21st, at 2PM EDT/11AM PDT, to describe the product in more detail.  To register for the webinar, please visit thefinepointgroup.com/laserpointcrm.aspx   Alternatively, to learn more about LaserPointCRM or purchase it for your casino property, please contact Steve Marshall, Senior Vice President, at (702) 965-2018 or [email protected].
