Of course Data enrichment services are one step for print service providers to offer value-add to their clients. But to really offer highly differentiated USPs, printers have to consider, what other channels already are able to offer.

Imagine: Conventional broadspectrum advertising is changing into precise advertising - specific to individual customer profiles. Online-experts and mobile-experts already exercise that. Printers now have the chance, to learn from them. Insights into big data, distilled using predictive analytics, guide the so called REAL-TIME MARKETING from start to finish. Ideally, this generates automated advertising that includes intelligent connections between a company's own call centre, own website, social media and mobile end devices.

The API interface with Eversfrank’s digital printing plant now also allows – what we call – REAL-TIME PRINTING to be integrated into this process in a fully automated solution.

The result: Marketing automation orchestrates all omni-channel communication situation by situation and specific to individual events. One day?a personalised e-mail is sent, another a personalised postcard, on yet another day a push notification for an app, a posted self-mailer or a printed one-to-one mini-catalogue. And special occasions like birthdays, saints' days and New Year's Eve may even mean an individual greeting card with picture personalisation and a gift voucher.
