  • Unified Databases, E-mail Hygiene Pay Out For Eldorado Resorts

    At Eldorado Resorts, databases talk to each other before talking to guests. These conversations keep members of its loyalty program from being bombarded with too many solicitations—or, even worse, with inappropriate messages.

    This quantity control effort is relatively new.
