Digital Print:

Variable Data Printing (VDP) is a major enabling technology that automates the production of personalized and relevant communications and motivates recipients to respond. Whether used to acquire leads, increase sales or bolster customer loyalty, a growing number of service providers are beginning to understand the unique power of VDP in its ability to evoke response and are increasingly offering their customers a more successful way of conveying messages with clarity and impact.


Services include:

Variable Data Printing (VDP)

Uses database information to determine the visual and informational content of each printed piece. So for instance, if Prospect A expressed interest in a particular product, it would be pictured and described, while Prospect B would see pictures and text related to his stated preference.


Variable Imaging (VI)

The ability to change images while NEXPRESS is printing. So conceivably each printed piece could have a completely unique set of images. VI is one of the capabilities that makes Variable Data Printing possible, but it can also work on its own.


One-to-One Marketing

The ultimate in Variable Data Printing, One-to-One Marketing creates a direct interchange between a potential buyer and a potential seller, right on the printed page. Hatteras' NEXPRESS makes that marketing landscape a high quality and highly colorful one, allowing our clients to more directly address the individual needs of each prospect.


Versioning

When marketers don’t yet know the individual preferences of each prospect, versioning can be deployed. It categorizes prospects into groups, each with its own needs and requirements, which are addressed in separate printed pieces. Versioned printing on a NEXPRESS makes the process quick and economical.


On Demand Printing

The ability to produce manageable batches of printed pieces quickly and economically allows our clients to align their marketing messages with changing market conditions and eliminates the need for warehousing excess printed literature.


Cross Media Marketing:

Connect with your customers and prospects like never before. Direct mail, the web, email, and mobile devices allow consumers to choose what they want to see and when they want to see it. Today's marketer must be prepared to integrate print along with these technologies to deliver relevant, personalized messages across multiple platforms.


VARIABLE DATA PRINTING

Variable Data Printing (VDP) is a major enabling technology that automates the production of personalized, relevant communications and motivates recipients to respond. Whether used to acquire leads, increase sales or bolster customer loyalty, a growing number of marketers are beginning to understand the unique power of VDP, its ability to evoke response and are increasingly offering their customers a more successful way of conveying messages with clarity and impact. Personalized Graphics VDP has evolved far beyond simple variable text and now includes personalized imagery, charts and even maps. The end result is a truly unique marketing piece customized to your clients' individual needs and preferences.



PERSONALIZED URL'S

Personalized URL's (or PURLs) are personalized landing pages or microsites that incorporate each individual's name within the site's URL (ex: www.Hatterascpc.com/Johnsmith) as well as the site's content. According to the DMA (Direct Marketing Association), 43% of people prefer to respond online, so it is no wonder that PURLs are becoming an increasingly popular component of cross media campaigns. Customers typically are encouraged to visit their PURL through personalized marketing messages delivered via print, email, or text message. In addition to being an excellent tool for response, PURLs provide a personalized interactive environment for you to engage with your customer. Hatteras has the ability to present users with personalized graphics, videos, links and messaging based on demographics and/or buying habits. With each click, you learn more about your customer, since all interactions are tracked and reported through our advanced marketing console.


EMAIL

Due to its speed, low cost and high trackability, email has quickly become a valuable marketing tool, especially when reaching out to current customers. Email is an effective way to keep customers informed about new products and services as well as build relationships with customers. Emails can be incorporated into cross media in a number of ways. The first is an email blast, in which a batch of emails is sent to a recipient list. Each email in the blast can contain dynamic personalized content. The second is a triggered email based on the users interaction with the site.


MEASURABLE SUCCESS

Marketing communications can no longer function as a single downstream message. Rather, marketers must be ready to engage the consumer in a two-way conversation to track response and garner additional information. After your campaign has gone live, Hatteras can help you track your response rate as well as other crucial data using easy-to-read charts, graphs, and tables. Find out who responded, when they responded, and which message they responded to. All this information can be tracked in real time, allowing campaigns to be adjusted midstream to deliver maximum ROI.


Hatteras Marketing Console

The Hatteras Marketing Console is a web-based application that allows marketers to track campaigns in real time via the internet. The console gives you access to reports that are efficient and easy to understand. We can integrate the data that you need into customized reports to show only what you want to see and nothing else. This makes it easier to see the real numbers up front and helps to more efficiently analyze your ROI.
