Business Resources for In-Plants
Xerox's ProfitAccelerator In-Plant Kit helps in-plant print providers more effectively serve their clients, promote new offerings and build print volume by uncovering new business opportunities.

The kit includes a how-to guide and templates for creating a marketing plan, a financial modeling tool to help understand job costs, and resources to generate new digital applications such as signs and brochures. Also available are invitations that print operations managers can use to hold an open house promoting new services and customer satisfaction surveys to assist in marketing in-plant capabilities.

"The business development tools within the Xerox In-Plant Kit are a great way for me to further improve my business," said Raj Nadrajan, director of Simon Fraser University's Document Solutions area, British Columbia, Canada. "They assist in facilitating the changing perception that my customers have of me - from a commodity print provider to that of a communications provider and specialist."

Profiting Through Variable-Data Printing
The Individualized Media Tool Kit shows print providers and marketers how personalized documents open up new one-to-one marketing opportunities. It illustrates how variable-data print documents help increase sales and revenue by tailoring the message to each audience's unique needs and buying preferences.

The kit includes a hands-on guide that helps customers and prospects generate ideas about how to use personalization. It also includes selling and workflow tips, case studies, and a section relevant to Xerox iGen3â„¢ 110 Digital Production Press users.

Ten New Vertical Markets
Xerox has added a second volume containing 10 additional industries to its ProfitAccelerator Vertical Market Kit, bringing the total to 20 key markets. Through comprehensive industry information, templates and source files, print providers can create personalized print samples by vertical market for their customers. The markets are: central government, higher education (sports marketing), hospitality (timeshares, casinos, cruises), legal, life sciences (training), local government, manufacturing/high-tech, pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, securities and investment, and utilities.

Print providers also get information to develop a marketing plan and primers to help train their print sales force about critical market opportunities. Also available are sales presentations tailored to specific markets.

Graphics West, a Las Vegas commercial printer, plans to expand its business beyond printing items for the gaming and hospitality industries to serve the real estate and healthcare industries as well.
