DESCRIPTION

Marketers tout the value of reaching the right person with the right message at the right time. Key to moving from cliché to reality, though, is behavioral data. The information is becoming increasingly valuable to target engaged prospects, which increases order conversions. By implementing an automated behavior triggered program, online invitation retailer PaperStyle.com saw revenue per email soar.

will definitely shop with this company again. Their products/printing method is extremely high quality and the color/design range is diverse. I like how every aspect of an invitation is highly personalize-able. The best thing, though,

is the incredibly fast turnaround time. Both of my orders were printed & delivered in 2-3 days!”
