Q: What makes the Sky River Casino Asian Brand and Chinese name culturally sensitive to Asian guests and ethnic markets?
A: We have an Asian brand identity that will visually communicate to our guests how the property is an Asian-friendly destination. The official Chinese name of the property is a perfect direct translation of Sky River and is inspired by the Milky Way where the stars represent infinity, wealth, and sky’s the limit – just like our brand tagline. Our logo also features the Vermilion Bird, an elegant and noble bird in Chinese culture symbolizing prosperity and pride to our Asian guests.
Q: Besides current Asian marketing efforts in the traditional medias, how else does Sky River Casino plan to reach out to Asian Community?
A: Great question! Sky River is currently partnering with many local supermarkets such as 99 Ranch, Grand Century Mall, Pacific East Mall and Seafood City supermarket to further promote our brand and property through monthly LED showcases and flyer distributions.
We have recently participated in the 2022 Autumn Moon Festival street fair in Oakland and will also be sponsoring and joining the upcoming LNY parade in San Francisco. We are beyond excited to share that Sky River will have a float at the parade, showcasing our LNY Greeting campaign design, the Ship of Wealth coming to live and our wonderful Sky River team greeting everyone at the festival.
Our sponsorship also includes a Rabbit statue that ties in with our float design and will be displayed at the Rose Pak’s station during the Lunar New Year time.
Q: How are your Asian promotional campaigns different than other gaming properties around your area?
A: We want our guests to take part in next-level promotions and earn top-notch giveaway items when they come play at our property. Therefore, in celebration of the upcoming Lunar New Year, we will offer a Swipe & Win promotion where Sky Rewards members who earn 88 Tier Credits by playing their favorite slots and table games can claim their prize by simply swiping their rewards card at any promotional kiosk.
Bringing the celebration to the next level, we will have a Lunar New Year property and host greeting campaign which not only caters to our guests of ethnic traditions and background, but also introduces our Asian Host team to the Asian markets. Some of our guests will also be receiving our Fortune Rabbit money envelopes.
