Marketing Smarter With 1:1 (Personalized) Printing: A Primer for Marketers; Report Released

Is 1:1 (personalized) printing the real deal? Or is it all hype? Is this something that is affordable for smaller marketers? Or is it accessible only to the largest ones? The Industry Measure has been watching the growth and development of 1:1 printing since its introduction in the mid-1990s. Since this time, we've been tracking the data, talking with industry insiders, and doing in-depth analyses of this marketplace. While this report is not intended to be an exhaustive look at all of the issues related to 1:1 printing, it will provide a broad compendium of the issues, opportunities, "best practices" case studies, and keys to success for the average marketer.

New York (PRWEB) February 8, 2008

One of the hottest applications these days is 1:1 (personalized) printing. In these applications, marketing documents can be personalized to every recipient, tailoring full-color images, text, and graphics to every recipient based on information from a database. But how much of this is hype? How much is accessible to the small and mid-sized marketers? And for marketers wanting to get started with these applications, how do they begin?

To meet this need, The Industry Measure has released "1:1 (Personalized) Printing: Boosting Profits Through Relevance," a primer with case studies, ROI calculations, and analysis designed for marketers, creatives, and others on the buying side of 1:1 print. This report is also designed for 1:1 printers and hardware and software manufacturers who may be looking for educational materials to distribute to their customer and prospect bases.

This report is broken down into seven detailed sections:

  • Section 1: Introduction to 1:1 personalization and the driving factors behind it.
  • Section 2: 1:1 printing basics, including the technology that drives 1:1 capabilities, examples of complex and simple 1:1 printing, and the benefits of using this approach.
  • Section 3: Ways to evaluate the success of personalization, including measurement techniques and hypotheticals of static/1:1 print programs.
  • Section 4: Analysis of the different classifications of 1:1 printing by technology and application.
