Running different promotions aimed at each group rather than trying to run one big promotion that is supposed to appeal to everyone (and most likely doesn't). @Sean: I’ve always thought it best to target both groups each month.

As a regular cash game player that never plays tournaments, I am often frustrated at the "promotions" run that are apparently aimed at regulars for the site because they rarely fit this core group of player. I think I'd be a lot more forgiving of promotions if I new that the site had some sort of plan aiming to make promotions aimed at various audience group types on a rotational basis. Afterall, if more recreational players are brought to the site, the regulars will never have a problem with it ... however if there's never a promotion catering to them, they'll feel neglected and start to think that the grass might be greener with a competitor poker room where they do often promotions for their core group of players.
