Create Personalized Marketing Communications with Digital Print

In the past, generating profitable revenue streams by using collateral for corporate marketing departments and advertising agencies was difficult. Changes in product or service descriptions made reprinting and customizing collateral very expensive. Digital printing changes that by making short run of collateral on demand easier. Now it’s possible to keep content up to date and personalize it with variable elements, such as address fields, graphics, and images. You can even offer collateral on demand. Consumers can generate customized brochures online via a web portal and receive their own personal hard copy within a few days. They get only the copy they need. Color technology lets you provide an endless range of custom collateral in many formats.

Reach Audiences Repeatedly

Newsletters are good for business. They offer a fast, cost-effective way to advertise and promote products, services, offerings, or special events while reinforcing an organization’s core message. They can range from a basic, text-only, black-and-white, one-sided sheet to a sophisticated, multipage, full-color publication.

With digital printing, short runs let marketers produce affordable, high-impact, high-quality newsletters to reinforce their image and their business.

Benefit From Digital Print on Demand

More and more books are produced and marketed by third parties using non-traditional methods. Publishers who find appealing niche markets with innovative products can build a stable base using digital printing and its associated new manufacturing concepts. The combination of web and digital printing also creates novel opportunities to take books from static products to dynamic tools in a customer driven culture of communication.

Full-color, on-demand printing

Rethink the structure. Growth in publishing revenues is achievable only through an optimized blend of marketing and production activities that also embrace e-commerce. More and more books are self-published by businesses and organizations or private individuals who take charge of their own marketing and production. Marketing and direct contact with and access to customers play a crucial role. The winners are the book projects being managed and controlled directly by consumers. These are projects that use the possibilities of digital communications technology as their value driver. The best example: photo books, created on print portals and printed fully digitally.
