Variable Data Printing (VDP) allows you to customize templates with information
collected on customers and stored in a database.

The Power of One-To-One Marketing
The success of your marketing campaign can be enhanced by VDP
which enables “mass customization” of multiple documents as opposed to “mass production”
of a single document.

Instead of mass-producing a “static” document that delivers 1 message to 10,000 customers,
VDP can be used to generate 10,000
unique documents with customized messages for 10,000 people. This can only
be accomplished via digital printing.
The example to the right demonstrates how a poster can be
customized for each recipient by simply using a first name. Imagine changing colors,
graphics, and fonts for each customer. That's powerful marketing!

Personalize Your Campaigns With Customer Data
Many companies keep some sort of database with their current customer information. This information
provides a great opportunity to target promotions for specific customer buying patterns based on "actual" data;
how do you show your customers that you know what they want or need?
If your travel agent were to know you only enjoyed vacationing in Europe, would it be an effective use of their
time and money trying to sell you a trip to Orlando? This is a common sales problem which can be solved with the
use with 1-to-1 marketing principals - it's all in the data and how you use it.

Data is now collected about customers almost everywhere by census bureaus, internet cookies, the
government, and even the local grocery store. As a result, tracking results about
purchases and habits get sold to data collection/resale agencies.
Largely, this is not a bad thing,
in fact it can be a good thing. How else do think you get those coupons during the holidays for
20% off at your favorite clothing store? As a business, that can be a valuable approach when you need
to target specific demographics to sell your products and services.

Combining this data with our software gives you the ability to start marketing your products and services
to your customers in new and effective ways. Although this highly effective approach has been available in brochures,
leaflets etc... it is a relatively new and "untapped" phenomenon in the large-format industry. We are one of the few that
offer this service in this area, and currently (as far as we know) the only one offering it in a web-based enterprise
level solution!
