Variable Data & Mapping

Variable data printing is the best way to reach your customers with branded messaging that tells them you know what they need. It’s also known as one-to-one marketing, targeted, or personalized printing.

Variable data makes printing personal

Variable data printing allows you to customize offers specifically to a customer’s likes or past purchase history. This strategy can dramatically increase response rates while reducing overall printing and mailing costs due to more targeted materials as opposed to traditional "shotgun" campaigns.

Variable Data and Mapping in Alexandria and Arlington

Today’s modern businesses and organizations generate a wealth of customer data. From past purchases to personal information, this information can help create a personalized outreach that could result in a flood of new sales.

Variable data allows you to laser target a specific demographic in any given marketing campaign. For example, let’s say that you want to run a direct mail program . If you were to send out mailers to every single customer with a generic offer, it might generate a sale here and there.

However, through variable data and printing, you can create highly customized mailers that speak to several different demographics at once. You can send these groups offers that are too irresistible to pass up.

Let’s say you have two groups of customers:

People who have purchased your less expensive products or services
People who have purchased your premium high-cost products or services.

Variable data will allow you to send out two completely different mailers, each with a highly tailored, personalized message or offer that they will most likely be interested in purchasing or learning more about.

Direct mail isn’t the only marketing channel that you can use variable data for.

Invitations
Event promotions
Flyers
Newsletters
Emails
Sell sheets
