Variable Data Printing Boosts Direct Mail Response Rates
One of the beauties of digital printing technology is how it can be used with traditional marketing direct mail to make a bigger impact and drive greater response. Take personalization, for example.
Variable data printing technologies allow marketers to deploy large direct mail campaigns that communicate on a one-to-one basis with prospects and customers. Important? Recent research shows that 86% of consumers say personalization plays a role in their purchasing decisions.
What you know about your target audience can help determine how you’re able to customize your messages. Consider versioned mailers that reflect:
- A recipient’s name or company name
- Offers based on past purchases or other information you know about the recipient
- Personalized QR codes and URLs
- Varied images based on a prospect’s age, gender or interests
Fundraisers take note: Variable data printing is almost essential for solicitations, allowing you to tailor messaging to past donations. For example, offering an established $100 level donor the option to check a box of $50, $75 or $100 opens the door to a lesser gift. A more effective approach would be to use variable data printing to remind donors of their last contribution and ask for a match or increase.
