Xerox Communication and Marketing Services

Businesses count on communication and marketing to attract new customers, keep current customers coming back and enable stakeholders and sales channels to deliver a better customer experience. While managing these processes may not be your core business, it is part of ours. Communication and Marketing Services is a defined group of integrated creative, print and digital capabilities spanning the entire communication process from strategy and planning, data management and analytics through content creation and management to multi-channel delivery and response management.

Here are just a few examples of how we’ve transformed multimedia marketing and communications processes for clients around the globe.

We helped Target (PDF, 452 KB) establish a more personal connection with their guests and reach new customers by boosting direct mail response rates by 50%.

Danfoss (PDF | Video) is now able to deliver manuals as customised as their customer-specified products, in 30 languages and in line with their manufacturing process.

And we enabled Owens Corning (PDF | Video) employees globally to increase productivity and fulfillment service levels with a collateral inventory and delivery process that eliminates waste and dramatically reduces costs.

Attract new customers

Reaching new customers means cutting through the clutter for an impactful first impression. We helped Target (PDF, 452 KB) establish a more personal connection with their guests and improve the way they communicate through direct mail. Target saw a 50% increase in direct mail response thanks to our software and services that create personalised, targeted marketing communications.

We can step in anywhere in your process, whether it’s creating, implementing and analysing direct marketing campaigns, working alongside agencies, or cost-effectively producing signage.

Case study snapshot: Morrisons

With a combination of Xerox people, processes and technology, Morrisons’ in-store marketing campaigns are delivered within days, on-time and on-budget.

Challenge

  • Improve efficiency and cut costs
  • Meet sustainability objectives

Solution

  • Onsite advisory service

Enhance the customer experience

Keeping current customers satisfied means more than delivering an outstanding product or service. For Aliant (PDF | Video) it meant redesigning monthly bills so they were easier for customers to comprehend. Our end-to-end support helps make your marketing communications:
  • Consistent across all channels, including print, web and mobile
  • Easy to understand and act upon
  • Geared toward your customers’ individual preferences

Case study snapshot: Danfoss

Danfoss needed an easy way to produce manuals in 30 languages that would ship with their products into 70 countries. The turnaround time had to be 1 to 2 days – the same as their entire process for manufacturing made-to-order power control solutions.

Challenge

  • Accurately pick from more than 4,500 possible variants of product literature
  • Produce the correct communication in the right language for the right country quickly and effectively
  • Remain nimble to maintain position as one of the world’s biggest frequency suppliers

Solution

  • Produce marketing collateral centrally in many different languages
  • A web-based ordering portal streamlines the process
  • The print shop is signaled when it’s time to automatically print collateral and drop it into a product box for shipping

Results

  • With Xerox managing the marketing literature process, Danfoss is able to maintain its leading position as a maker of bespoke power control solutions
  • Deliver solutions, with the correct collateral included, around the world in days

Enable stakeholders and sales channels

People work more effectively and efficiently when everyone’s on the same page.

We helped the UK Department for Work and Pensions (PDF | Video) improve information quality and access for citizens, as well as improve staff access to business collateral and marketing materials by providing a single point of contact.

Whether you want to deliver information about products and services to your sales channels to use with customers, relay public policies to citizens, or inspire employees to take a desired action, communication is critical.

Using streamlined processes, we’ll help you align key audiences with a consistent message, and reduce costs.
