It's All in the Details

There are so many ways we convey messages to friends, family and even customers and prospects. Did you know that addressing someone by name (aka, personalizing the message) can lift your response rate? Some studies show that calling someone by name can even lift their spirits and provide a more engaging conversation.

Just yesterday, I was in downtown Atlanta seeing a client. After dealing with the two-way traffic parking deck that was a bit narrow, walking in heels up the street into the intimidatingly tall building and taking the old elevator up to an upper-level floor, I was feeling a bit frazzled. The moment I walked into their suite, I was greeted by name as they were expected me, and my company's name was played on the monitor welcoming me. Boy, did I feel special! All the stress of getting there melted away, and we had a great meeting about print on demand, fulfillment and other print and large format opportunities.

If such a small thing as having someone's name and company name displayed made little ole me feel that special, imagine how great it could be for your customers and prospects to receive messaging about your service or new product if it were personalized to them with their specific needs in mind?

BPI Media Group has the equipment and technology to make that happen, so let's brainstorm on ways to drill down on your messaging to get your customer's attention and make them take that call to action. Here are a couple of examples of how BPI used personalization in promo packets.

PS-Here are a couple of articles to back up my claims about personalization and calling people by name...just so you know I'm not making this stuff up. :)

Measuring Success

We at BPI Media Group have a philosophy: We measure our success by the success of our customers. They not only make us as a company successful, but our customers were the key in having a successful open house last week in Boaz. Thank you to all of you who visited us, took plant tours, talked with our team and learned a bit more about our capabilities. Your presence there made the day so much fun and hopefully provided more opportunities for us to be successful together.

Enjoy a few photos that our very own prepress tech, Russ, took for us throughout the day. If you'd like to request a link to view the full photo gallery of our event, drop me a note, and I'll be happy to share with you. The wall, door and floor graphics shown are just a few examples of some of our new capabilities.

We're Opening Our Doors for You

BPI Media Group will be having an open house in just a couple of weeks. We're really excited about it and not just because it's an excuse to do some spring cleaning. We're excited to showcase our capabilities to those both locally and who travel hundreds of miles to see our facility in Boaz, AL.

We'd love to have you join us, on Wednesday, February 12 from 9 am-3 pm CST (10-4 ET). We'll have lunch catered from a local hot spot (be sure to RSVP, so we have plenty of food for everyone!) and have reps on hand from suppliers such as International Paper and Agfa. Plant tours will be going on all day, and if you've never seen the printing process in motion, it is quite impressive. Our new wide format machine will be running as well as the router/cutter along with our traditional offset and digital presses. We're excited to show you all of what we do at BPI!

Join us, drop me a note and let me know if you can make it, and have your socks knocked off by all that takes place under one roof at BPI: printing (offset, digital, large format), bindery, mailing and fulfillment. Hope to see you there!

Until next time...Elizabeth
