How Does Digital Variable Printing Work?

Any digital variable printing project begins with a template - a specially created design piece that will be customized to create the perfect piece for each recipient. Then a database of recipients and their information is used to populate the piece with pictures, words and information specifically targeted to that individual. Studies have shown if a marketing message includes that person’s interest, their name and an offer relevant to that person there is a 1000% increase in response rates! Digital variable printing campaigns have many benefits, such as:
- Larger order size
- Increased response rates
- Quicker Response
- Less waste
What is Digital Variable Print Best For?

Better Marketing Practices
Marketing experts say it takes 5 “touches” for your message to be successful. A digital variable printing piece with a unique PURL offers the recipient another marketing touch. One of our mortgage customers sends a personalized card to a recipient with a PURL directing the prospect to a website that is designed exactly for them! They can use their own preloaded information to see how their mortgage could change based the promotion. This kind of personalized data is what gets results! Find out for yourself!
Save Money with Digital Variable Printing
Digital variable printing saves you money and improves the ROI of each campaign. The data is used to only send a personalized piece rather than mass mail. One of our customers used to send 20,000 pieces each month and would get the usual 1-2% response rate. Today, by using digital variable printing, that same customer sends only 2,000 pieces and gets a 10% response rate. The math is clear! Why send 20,000 pieces for only 25 responses when you can get 200 responses from only 2000 cards? Get started with digital variable printing today!
