Here's a little sneak peek of the top 10 best practices:

#1. Start with good marketing. 

Don't expect the personalized URL itself to generate responses.

#2. Follow the best practices for 1:1 printing in general.

#3. Start with a highly targeted recipient base.

#4. Evaluate the cost of programs differently.

Don't evaluate a 1:1 piece the same way you evaluate a static piece. Focus on new metrics, such as conversion rate, cost per sale and ROI.

#5. Incorporate other response-boosting elements, such as over-sized postcards or lumpy mail.

#6. Utilize the benefits of multiple media to reinforce the message.

Maintain consistency in design and business rules across all channels.

#7. Offer an incentive of high value to the recipient.

It doesn't have to be a high-dollar value offer. Just one that is the right offer for your specific client or prospect base.

#8. When possible, offer multiple channels for response.

Use general URLs, personalized URLs, tear-out forms, 800 numbers and even QR codes. Not everyone wants to respond to an offer the same way.

#9. Track, measure and respond.

Track not just who responded, but their demographics, timing and other factors. Use this information to improve your programs over time.

#10. Use the survey buttons to really learn something.

Ask questions that help you improve the depth and understanding of your client relationship and not just show off your technology skills.
