The Future of Direct Mail... High Speed, Variable Data, Full Color or Black and White Digital Printing

Research shows that response rates for direct mail utilizing Variable Data Printing (VDP) are four to six times higher than direct mailings without this technology.

Variable Data & Direct Mail–
Get Your Message Read: Make it Personal.

Variable data allows you to customize each piece of a printing project so that your message is highly relevant to your customers. Depending upon the information you have collected about your customers in your database, ProGraphics can produce individualized letters that target inactive accounts, address each customer by name, lets them know how long it has been since they made a purchase from you, what it was, how close your business is to where they live or work, etc. You can make personalized special offers based on buying habits, and even add variable images based on age, ethnicity or interests. Test the effectiveness of an offer or the quality of different mailing lists with variable data, before rolling out a major direct mail campaign.

But it doesn't stop with direct mail, variable data printing is ideal for newsletters with several versions or documentation that changes frequently. Variable data eliminates waste because you print only what you need when you need it. No need to warehouse large quantities of printed materials, or dispose of them because they go out of date. Information can be stored electronically and kept up-to-date and accurate. With print-on-demand flexibility, even last minute changes can be made almost instantly.

Database Management
Maintaining The Value of Your Mailing List

A well-maintained mailing list helps you to stay visible to prospective customers, keep your existing customers happy, win back former customers, and keep marketing costs controlled. By simply identifying these categories of customers in your database; prospects, current customers, former customers, you can make versioned offers. If you are trying to win back a former customer, make a more enticing offer than for a loyal customer. One of the most successful things you can do for your loyal customers is an acknowledgement that recognizes them and lets them know how much you appreciate their loyalty. For prospective customers, you can evaluate the effectiveness of a mailing list by adding a custom Personalized URL which provides a powerful direct mail response.
