What is variable data printing used for?

Variable data printing allows companies to personalize the content and graphics in their marketing pieces. As opposed to mass production of a single mailing piece with generic messaging, variable data printing allows for mass customization of print pieces driven by customer data. It can be used for a variety of options; from direct mail campaigns, managing customer relationships or even invoicing. Messaging can be personally tailored to reflect a customer’s purchasing habits, current account balances, location and other factors. Variable data printing is increasingly being integrated with other marketing channels.
