iQ-SPORTS™ Analytic Model Catalog

1. Pattern Discovery

  • Fan segmentation models including preferences (price, seating, opposition, number of games) and overall value (similar to an RFM).
  •  Association analysis including:
  1. Market basket analysis: this model identifies what games go together for fans with a view to tailoring season ticket packages to the right offering of matches.
  2. Sequence analysis: This model can help enhance the knowledge of customer behavior by knowing what their likely next move is. For instance, the team using a time identifier can track how fans have gone through the system i.e. fans who start as 3 game holder move to 15 games then Class A season before going Platinum.
  • Novelty detection: This model is produced using historical fan behavior.  It makes it easy to identify particular behavior that indicates what has happened is out of the ordinary. For instance, it can help identify when a fan has statistically exceeded their time between attending matches.

2. Forecasting Models

  • These models forecast anything and everything that might be of use to the team. Subjects like crowd number; food sales etc….these forecasting models can be further enhanced by introducing exogenous variables/series e.g. weather, opposition win pct, team win pct, and so on.
  • If the data is available, these models could be enhanced by including: game spend on F&B, merchandise, as well as other purchases through the online merch store and physical merch store(s).

3. Prediction Models

  • Fan churn model for likelihood of ticket holders not renewing
  • Fan propensity model to predict response to marketing campaign
  • Predicting season value of a fan spend within the venue as a dollar figure

iQ-Gaming Analytic Model Catalog

1. Patron Segmentation Model:  This model segments the population of patrons using cluster analysis and decision trees.  Segmentation is one of the first and most basic machine learning methods.  Segmenting the population of patrons into distinct segments is important because creating separate model for separate segments may be time consuming and not worth the effort. But, creating separate model for separate segments usually provides higher predictive power.

2. Overall Property Preference Model: This model uses logistic regression to identify whether a customer is attracted by Slots, Tables or Bingo (or combination).

3. Table Games Preference Model: This model identifies a players’ game of preference (for those playing tables).

4. Table Bet Size Preference Model: This model identifies player’s preferential stake size by grouping stake sizes into manageable groups. This information helps casinos know whether limits are high enough or minimums are too low.

5. Customer Play Day Preference Model: This model looks at patron behavior by day and identifies the day preference for attending. This model can be extended to time of day preference. This model helps casino managers with staffing and layout requirements when mixed with other analysis.

6. Slot Denomination Preference Model: This model describes player behavior by denomination.  It identifies from penny players through max stake players. This model can also look at loyalty across denominations.

7. Slots Reels Preference Model: This model groups reels into manageable buckets. It helps identify those patrons who like the max reels type game as opposed to the simple three reels. The model is used in combination with the slot denomination preference model to drill in further into player characteristics.

8. F&B Location Preference Model: This model looks at carded spend across food venues to identify patron’s preference for eating. This model is useful for menu changes, and for the creation of marketing offers around F&B. For instance, It could show the steakhouse could benefit from opening earlier in the week lining up with when the big spenders are hoping to play.

9. Casino RFM Model: This model forecasts VIP players using revenue for slots, tables, bingo, F&B and Entertainment as well as frequency of visits and days since last visit.

Qualex Sports Team Case Study

Challenge:

One of Qualex’s many clients is the Major League Soccer (MLS). The League contracted with Qualex Consulting Services to implement an Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW), Business Intelligence (BI) and Advanced Analytics solutions for the both, the league and its 22 clubs.

Solution:

Leveraging Qualex’s knowledge of data warehouse design, Qualex implemented a sports-centric data model to support data elements from the teams ticketing, financial and customer relationship management (CRM) systems. Prior to Qualex’s implemented solution, data about team operations was primarily only within each of the team’s operational source systems; in effect, constraining the team with several independent “silos” of operational data. Accessing data within more than one system at a time proved both time consuming and inefficient. This acted as a blocker when diagnosing why specific events happened from a revenue generation standpoint, and therefore the League started struggling to predict the next market move in order to prescribe an effective action plan for customized demand generation.

Benefits:

Qualex addressed the challenges presented by these “data silos” by organizing data from the League’s various operational source systems into a consolidated data warehouse using Qualex’s iQ-Sports™ data model. With BI portals integrated to the warehouse, now Club/League management has quick and easy access to key operational data to facilitate strategic decision making in a more timely manner.

Qualex developed a custom solution built specifically around the League’s business needs. The implemented solution leverages the Clubs/League investment in technology to “do all the heavy lifting of data” so Clubs/League management team can spend more time analyzing their business to make strategic decisions.

With Price Optimization and Attendance Forecasting models quickly deployed using the iQ-Sports™ database (including Weather data), MLS was able to start structuring enterprise wide CRM initiatives as a result of a centralized infrastructure, data consolidation and enhancement and analytic capabilities. This allowed the League and its Clubs to efficiently manage customer database and effectively execute marketing campaigns with the right offer at the right time.

The League’s strategy was to communicate benefits and quick wins to key stakeholders by the centralization of analytic resources and the provision of advanced analytic and modeling opportunities. Starting with QLX Price Optimization and Attendance Forecast models, a sample analysis and pilot campaigns were implemented to showcase the impact of data. As a result, the average sales per email increased from $56.42 to $109.01, meaning a 93% increase compared to the prior year campaign. Personalized pilot campaigns delivered targeted sales campaigns by favorite club, gender and past purchase information. This was tracked through utilizing click sales tracking, matching back opens to purchases, and through other client past performance coefficient.

“We have been working with the Qualex team since December 2013 and are very impressed with the commitment and knowledge they provide MLS for the implementation of our new data warehouse and advanced analytics. We look forward to keep expanding this effort and utilizing the findings to get a better view and understanding of our fans and their engagement across all 22 clubs”.
