It is something that we have had interest in for a couple of year now. We have demoed it, and seen samples of it - however don't have an application that we can actually call our own. Its entry price point forces it to really have an application or program that utilizes it before management would look at it. For many that I have talked to that actually have the product it is normally uses as self promotion and only occasion for customers.
It is a great concept that really shows what variable data can do. If it had a more attractive pricepoint we would already be well into it. To integrate it with the web may have an application in calendars, postcards etc - so there may be more interest to more of a commodity based shop than we are that really do a good deal of custom work. We haven't had a single client request this type of program so I dont know that actually having it would really grow our business - but what it could do is make our current business better - and keep some eyes on pieces longer than they get now. ~Mark -----Original Message----- From: Mark Hilger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 18, 2007 9:16 AM To: FusionPro Users Forum Subject: [fusionpro] Image Personalization with VDP Hi, all I recently spoke to a customer who enquired about "Image Personalization" in their FusionPro VDP workflow that companies like DirectSmile, a Printable partner company, offer. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Image Personalization (which allows for the design and output of customized images that typically contain a recipient name) take a look at DirectSmile's website and test drive it for yourself: http://directsmile.de/script/en/testen.php I'm curious to hear the thoughts of the FusionPro user community regarding this type of technology in your VDP workflows. Do you currently offer image personalization? Have clients approached you to offer this type of solution? Do you see this offering as something that can help you more effectively gain new business from new and existing customers?
