AudienceOne Delivers the Impact of 4-Color Printed Collateral
Using eMail, Fax and Print; Puts Personalized Pre- and Post-Event
Collateral Delivery On the Internet
Cardiff Software Monday announced that over 4,000 full color, personalized marketing kits were sent to registrants of the Adobe ePaper Solutions "Bridging the Digital Divide" seminar series -- using the Internet instead of traditional paper and post-office mail.
The one-to-one marketing kits were automatically generated and sent via email or Fax using the Cardiff AudienceOne Personalization Server. Even though the seminar series was held worldwide in over eight cities, participants received requested information within minutes of the event, improving Adobe's sales responsiveness and saving thousands of dollars. Demonstrations of AudienceOne can be found at www.Cardiff.com/A1.
By using AudienceOne for their post-event customer communications, Adobe has automated their sales response process and eliminated manual print, store, pack and shipping processes. In contrast, traditional pre- and post-event customer communications are mailed at great expense and can take up to two weeks to arrive at the destination. Moreover, the AudienceOne emails are delivered directly to the inbox of customers, who are much more likely to read email than to open printed materials that arrive in interoffice mail bins.
"AudienceOne has helped deliver our high-quality marketing materials quickly and affordably to worldwide attendees of our ePaper solutions seminars," said Monika Kessling, marketing manager for Adobe ePaper Solutions. "By leveraging AudienceOne with email, we were able to give our seminar attendees Internet-based collateral with the visual impact of personalized four-color printed materials. This is a revolutionary approach for responding to customers and prospects."
Adobe will also use the AudienceOne system to deliver personalized post-event content for the next phase of "Bridge the Paper to Digital Divide" seminar series. More information on these seminars can be found at www.Adobe.com.
The AudienceOne Personalization Server allows organizations to use existing content to deliver personalized marketing collateral, reports and documents. The system personalizes on two levels: creating documents that contain specific pages of information that are requested by the user; and adding variable text and graphics to existing documents. AudienceOne collects specific content from a users library of existing Adobe PDF documents, creating a new single document, complete with page numbers and a table of contents. For more personalization, AudienceOne can insert custom cover letters and can add variable text and graphics into the new document based upon business rules.
