Strategy and Business Development.
Date: Sunday, October 26
Time: 12:30 - 1:30 pm
Location: S405ab, South Hall, Level 4
The power of personalization requires Marketing, IT, and Operations to work in concert - to link disparate databases across the enterprise and from 3rd parties - to create a single view of the customer, leverage insights from that view, and drive the transpromotional communication on behalf of multiple marketing constituencies across the enterprise. But this is easier said than done. This session will focus on the needs of these 3 communities and provide a practical roadmap to bridge functional and data boundaries as necessary to make TransPromo real.

featuring Kevin J. Klein, Pitney Bowes, Director Production
Intelligence Consulting.
Date: Monday, October 27

The business of producing high volume transactional and promotional mail has become more challenging in today's economic climate. This session will discuss both the business and technical challenges major mailers face. Topics will include asset management, managing costs, meeting SLA obligations, producing with integrity/quality, regulatory/audit compliance, and ensuring customer satisfaction. Attendees will see how employing the concepts of Production Intelligence(R) solutions can increase performance and transform an organization from a cost center to a value added, strategic corporate asset.
The Printer's Journey to Mail Starts with Customers

Time: 12:30 - 1:30 pm

Printers need to find ways to grow revenue despite difficult market conditions. Shorter print runs and tighter turn times are making it difficult to maintain margins. Local copy shops are making inroads to digital printing. The combination of a sluggish economy and new low-cost media options are leading some clients to decrease their reliance on print overall. In this environment, commercial printers have several avenues for growth with opportunities in digital print technologies and new value-added offerings., The road to increased revenue can start with mailing services-leveraging relationships with existing customers. And with the right approach, printers can achieve greater profitability even sooner.
