Cross Media Marketing
Reach Relevancy Results
Cross-media marketing solutions enable you to combine the reach of variable data printing with the precision of web and email communication to create powerful marketing campaigns. Variable Data Printing & PURL's used together, make a powerful marketing tool. These campaigns utilize variable data printing, personalized URL's (PURLs) and targeted emails to help you reach, and then track, your desired target audience.
The cross-media approach can get you the results you are looking for. A campaign typically includes a direct mail piece, with a call out line to the recipient and would include a personalized URL printed on the piece for them to visit and communicate with you. You are then able to directly track and communicate with potential customers who respond online and subsequently follow up with targeted emails.
Studies show that the mere act of including a person's name in the URL can increase response rates by as much as 30% or more when executed properly. Once directed to the highly relevant site, the prospect and or customer willingly share valuable data that can be used in future marketing efforts.
Welcome to Web 2.0
Sometimes called the "New Internet” this second generation of the World Wide Web is not about technology; it's all about personalization. Now relevant information is delivered in a very personal manner. User-generated content, instant results and personalized interactions create higher response rates and increase the reach of the marketer. With the use of Cross-Media Marketing, consumers are communicated to as individuals, not as one of the masses.
Direct Mail Piece
The direct mail piece is also known as the Personalized URL ticket. This is a customized print piece like a postcard, package, pamphlet or anything you want, that introduces your marketing campaign and contains the personalized domain address with the recipient name.
Campaign Dashboard
Once your PURL campaign has been launched you will have access to a Campaign Dashboard. This resource is an online reporting of all campaign activity so that you may establish metrics to measure your marketing program's success. The true benefit is illustrated with real time information. The dashboard will provide for you activity reports so that you can see who is visiting your landing pages and clicking your links. Based on this data you generate leads and configure lead batches to follow up via real time, like sending out an SMS or email notification to the respondent post their domain visit. The dashboard is also great for viewing campaign details in graph format and estimating the return on investment for the marketing campaign.

QR, or Quick Response, codes are being used in mainstream marketing for two reasons: they allow marketers to track who uses them by gathering the phone numbers of users and they offer a cross media marketing channel that fits more details and information when space is limited. These two-dimensional bar codes are generated by many Print Service Providers and Marketing Service Providers to contain anything an internet browser can, including phone numbers and text. They can only be read by smart phones that have a scanning app installed in them. When your print marketing communications just doesn't fit all the details you need it to, QR codes are your solution.
