Case Study 3

Using versioned print to reach unique segments inside an audience group Challenge

Nationwide Lexus dealers wanted a professional-looking brochure containing specific after-market accessories, targeted to SC-model buyers. From a total list of 20 accessories, dealers wanted to chose the top 4 that fit their regional demographic best, and thereby personalize an offering.

Response

Incorporating dealer marketing data, Southern California Graphics helped create a data-driven print insert which bound into a static Lexus SC brochure. This combination proved valuable since qualified buyers received more relevant offerings and avoided a timely search for the specific accessories they found most pertinent. This tailored solution proved exceptionally successful. Specific project workflow included:

  • Dealers used a custom website to complete their request.
  • A database containing dealer contact information, brochure quantity and version ID for 4 pages was created and delivered to Southern California Graphics.
  • Southern California Graphics massaged this data and created the unique combinations of 4 PDF pages to match dealers’ requests.
  • PDF combination data directly drove the press and bindery operations, minimizing setup and delivering 100% accuracy.
  • The data also flowed directly into Southern California Graphics logistics to drive shipment packaging, labeling and tracking.
  • Tracking numbers were matched to order data and returned to customer automatically.
