One press, unlimited possibilities
Challenge
Wowing audiences with the possibilities of print As the world’s leading provider of new class document services, communications and printing solutions, Fuji Xerox launched its new Iridesse Production Press, which allows the production of metallic, iridescent prints, and drove demand via an integrated campaign. Marketers and creative agencies are shifting to digital channels and are pressured to deliver effective ROI on their print campaigns. With declining demand in print, commercial printers need a stronger justification to make large investments in new equipment without proof of ROI. That’s why we created a 2-phased approach: 1) drive product demand amongst end-users, and 2) influence the purchasing decisions of commercial printers. We set out to convince target audiences that print remains relevant in today’s digital age and educate them on the benefits of integrating print into the omnichannel marketing mix. This includes showcasing the metallic effects of iridescent prints and positioning the product as THE production press to work with for unlimited digital printing opportunities.
Solution
Phase 1: Meet the One Production Press to Rule Them All Centred around Iridesse and its metallic print capabilities, we crafted the concept around a royal fantasy for our Commercial Printers. This included a gold-plated crown and mirror, placed on top of a luxurious velvet pillow, and encased in a box embellished in gold and black. By using Iridesse to print the entire kit—from the direct mailer box to the product booklet and materials inside—our target audiences were able to see (and feel) for themselves how Fuji Xerox’s Iridesse takes prints from ordinary to extraordinary. Phase 2: Welcome to Print, Reimagined In seeking a competitive edge, we need marketers to rethink the experience print can deliver in today’s digital age. So, we reimagined print and redefined the storytelling experience for marketers. To give them a first-hand experience of the stunning iridescent colours, we designed and printed Marketing Interactive’s magazine cover using the featured production press itself. We also personalized each copy to individual subscribers in Marketing Interactive’s database automatically through Xerox’s XMPie technology and crafted educational content on the flip side of the cover wrap. Additionally, we included information about Fuji Xerox Singapore’s showcase event to drive attendance. The campaign was promoted across channels via DM, eDM, microsite, sponsored content, social media, and display ads.
