The image can be different for every card! Example Campaign: DFS know the last image a registered user looks at when browsing their web site. Send a postcard with that image on and a discount voucher. Upload a CSV database of contacts with a list of image URLs. The system will personalise the image on each card associated with the data.
Variable Image
Data can be posted in real time into the platform where a triggered template is activated. Example Campaign: DFS have a user who have added a product to a basket but not gone on and purchased. A postcard is dispatched with a discount voucher and an image of the product in their basket. Post data into the platform using the API. Create a templated campaign in the platform which activates based on a trigger event.
