Caesars Entertainment is the world’s most geographically diversified casino-entertainment company, operating resorts and casinos on three continents, including brands such as Harrah’s, Caesars, Horseshoe, and the London Clubs International family of casinos.

Overview

For Caesars Entertainment, the growth of casino gaming meant new opportunities and also new competition for market share. The global leader in gaming and hospitality launched an app that connects guests with amazing offers while delivering more ways to explore Caesars Entertainment hotels, resorts, shows, restaurants, and nightclubs worldwide. The Caesars Rewards app makes it easy for users to book rooms, place dining reservations, buy show tickets, and track player rewards across Caesars’ entire portfolio of properties.

Challenge

Caesars Entertainment discovered that when guests use its mobile app, they spend more because they’re more engaged with the brand.

As a result, the company began focusing heavily on evolving its mobile strategy to:

  • Build guest engagement when they’re on Caesars properties
  • Retain app users between visits by keeping them in the know about upcoming events
  • Grow revenue by presenting the right offers at the right time

Results

Airship’s Customer Experience Platform helps Caesars build brand loyalty — and greater revenue — by keeping guests up to date on exciting events and delivering personalized, location-based offers via mobile messaging.

Airship gives us a great way to communicate with our guests and drive engagement, which ultimately leads to greater revenue generated through the app.
