Personalization

• Customize each piece with different images/messages to grab the recipient's attention.
• A generic postcard normally has around a 1.5-2% rate of return. By adding Variable-Data, we have seen responses increase up to 30%!
• Variable Data Printing (VDP) may be the pathway to reaching those additional people. VDP will allow you to customize your message to the individual.
• Todays market often requires that people be recognized as individuals and this method will allow you to connect with them by sending a personalized piece which matches up with what they want, who they are, and with a timely delivered message.
