Mimeo Customization Solutions - Co-Authoring Tools for Great ROI
Many Mimeo customers customize documents for partners, resellers, retailers or instructors. This could be as simple as adding a channel partner logo to courseware or adding a retail location and store hours to a brochure.
The greatest barrier to customization is the time and coordinated effort required. Document owners often have to collect information and graphics, insert what was collected into the document, gain agreement to a final proof, then print and distribute the documents. Asking partners to do the customization introduces risk into the process since each partner may not strictly adhere to the standards established by the document owner.
That was until now. Customization Solutions from Mimeo are rules based. You set the rules and provide your partners with the tools to add custom elements to each document. This approach makes customization economical, maintains tight control over the process, and is far easier to implement.
Those ordering will have a greater sense of ownership since they personally contributed to the success of the document. Competitively, document owners that offer customization to their partners and employees will have an edge over those that do not.
What is Customization?
Customization technology is a form of Variable Data Printing, one of the fastest growing areas in the on-demand printing industry. Variable data refers to the ability to use digital technology to vary one or more elements in a printed piece. Content such as text, images, logos and graphics are inserted into preapproved areas of the document by authorized individuals.
During the ordering process, the person ordering is prompted to insert content into the required fields. The document owner defines a set of rules that dictate what can be inserted and where.
Does Customization Work with Both the Mimeo Builder and Mimeo Marketplace?
Customization works across all Mimeo platforms. This includes the Marketplace storefront where others do the ordering, and the Mimeo online interface.
