Personalize Your Online Business

If you are looking for a way to place a personal touch in your business, perhaps a personalized URL is a great place to start. New software and technology is constantly being released in the business world to help companies find a better niche in the online world. Between pixel ads to personalized URLs there are plenty of places to turn to when you need help with your internet-based business.

prospect LINKS?, a print-to-web marketing system, has been launched by Prospect Smarter, variable data printing specialist. prospect LINKS? enables businesses to upgrade their current direct mail marketing campaigns by including a personalized URL and landing page for every recipient on their mailing list. With prospectLINKS?, businesses can more accurately measure the effectiveness of their direct mail by getting real-time, prospect-specific, response information.

Each prospect is assigned a unique personalized URL, consisting of the business? domain name and the prospect?s first and last name, which is printed on his or her direct mail piece. For example, if Quota Inc. sends out a direct mail marketing piece to Teresa Waterman, the URL would be vip.quotainc.com/teresawaterman. The first time the Teresa visits her personalized URL Quota Inc will automatically be sent an email notification, even if Teresa does not complete an online form.
