Changes in the marketplace are forcing a choice between tackling the solutions challenge and falling prey to the unyielding pressures of commoditization.
Individualized communications with high message relevance is emerging as the ultimate targeted marketing objective, with numerous studies demonstrating the triple-digit lift that comes by matching offers to a consumer’s individual needs. Print service providers that can deliver this level of complexity as an integrated solution to marketers are expected to benefit from more strategic client relationships and higher margin services.
A solution is not simply a bundled offering of services and formats. A solution must be tied to a specific client business need and perceived by that client to provide clear business value. This choice, while extremely challenging, can greatly improve the chance of survival for three reasons:
|
è Client demand. Corporate marketers are little interested in digital print for ink on paper. Instead, they are increasingly focused on ways that communications solutions can be utilized to support business goals, such as reducing costs, increasing productivity, improving client retention, and building competitive advantage. As such, they are demanding measurable business value and ROI from their relationships. è Competitive differentiation. As competition continues to increase in virtually every print service category, business solutions help service providers stand out from the crowd. Jostling for position with generic, "horizontal" applications has become a dead-end proposition. But demonstrating vertical expertise - about ways to help financial services firms improve customer service or healthcare companies efficiently communicate corporate benefit programs or retailers automate the production of thousands of localized campaigns - gives service providers a hook to grab the attention and interest of potential clients.
