Ladbrokes updated the market for the four months ended 30 April 2008. The company said that profits* (excluding profits* from High Rollers) had increased by 13%, with gross win increasing by 16% (34% including High Rollers). Profit from High Rollers was £40 million but Ladbrokes said that their activity had recently fallen to de minimis levels.

British online gaming company 888 Holdings Plc said its second-quarter operating income rose 36 percent, helped by growth in casino gaming revenues, and its chief executive told Reuters the group is mulling takeovers. Online gaming firm 888 reported a 24 percent rise in total operating income to $68 million (46 million pounds) in the third quarter. Despite external adverse economic conditions we are confident in our business model and strategy,” said Chief Executive Gigi Levy in a statement. In August the company reported a 39 percent increase in its first-half pretax profit, boosted by a strong performance from new products.

888, Britain’s second-biggest listed Internet gaming group, 888 had 214,725 active customers using its online casino and poker games in the second quarter, up 3 percent on the same period last year, the company said.

What is the secret:
Having the answers to the following questions will help you build a comprehensive picture of your market and your competitors and put you in a stronger position to win a bigger market share.

-Who are your existing customers? Are there any other groups that may require your product or service and that you haven’t targeted before? Can your product or service be used for purposes that you had not previously considered and that could make it appealing to a wider market?

-What are your competitors’ strengths? Do you have these too? If not, why not – and should you have them?

-Why do customers buy from your competitors? What advantages do you have over your rivals that may attract their customers? How can you communicate with your competitors’ customers to get them to switch and buy from you instead?

-What is your unique selling point?

-Apart from obvious rivals, are there any other businesses with customers your product or service may appeal to

-Are there customers who have stopped buying from you? Do you know why? If not, you may want to ask them.

-Will you need to change pricing, marketing, distribution, service levels? Could those changes upset current customers? Will your employees remain motivated?
