Track B: Technology

Session 2: Advances in Digital Print Technology
TransPromo has gained traction in recent years for several reasons – one of which is the advances in digital technology. High-speed inkjet and toner devices, many of them web-fed, are providing the productivity and colour quality levels necessary for TransPromo. This session will explore the vendors and products related to this developing market area.

Session 4: Innovative Software Tools
Without the help of innovative software solutions, tasks like managing data, document creation and composition, production workflow, electronic presentment, as well as campaign tracking would not be possible. This session will focus on today’s software tools and generate a discussion around the solutions to consider to effectively and efficiently implement and manage TransPromo communications.

Session 6: Understanding the Data
When collected and used correctly, data can be a powerful tool. Understanding the data that drives TransPromo, and the resulting personalization opportunities, is imperative to campaign effectiveness. This session will focus on important considerations regarding which customer information to collect, how to obtain it, and how to append data that is not being captured.

Session 8: Using Existing Resources
Some companies will be limited by the equipment that they have in-house. Luckily for some, TransPromo does not require colour. For others, TransPromo can be focused on the top 1%-5% of accounts – meaning a lower print volume and more options for support. This session will focus on how to make TransPromo work with minimal changes to your document design, workflow, and using the equipment that you already have in-house.

Session 10: The Outsourcing Option
In some cases, the move to TransPromo will not be desirable with existing equipment or print service provider partners. Seeking an outside provider to produce TransPromo documents can provide tactical and strategic advantages. This session will discuss the outsourcing opportunity, important questions to ask when making the outsourcing decision, and provide insight on how to be successful with an outsourcing partner.

Session 12: Future Technologies Driving TransPromo
Many of today’s marketing professionals are focused on increasing cross-media integration within their TransPromo documents. There are a few up-and-coming technologies that will help build the cross-media opportunity. This session will explore techniques for making the transaction document an integral part of a multi-channel integrated campaign.
