How to bill and inform effectively

The Invoice is a tool with which you regularly communicate with your customers. The invoice always gets full attention, the receiver reads it instantly and as a rule more than once. Still most invoices contain only figures and specifications and very seldom utilize the full potential. We offer solutions on how to develop the invoicing into what we call Smart Communication.

We at Stralfors aim to put the transactional document into a new perspective and rather treat the invoice as an outstanding opportunity to strengthen the relations with your customers – and increase sales at almost no extra cost. We see the invoice as a marketing tool with great potential.

Customers’ Expectations are Changing

We as consumers adapt our behaviour according to the changes in the society, also when it comes to marketing and sales methods. For example, we are well aware that information about our purchases is registered and stored in customer data files. But in return we expect higher personalization and relevance in the information we receive. We wish to choose the channels we should be addressed by, and we may have developed new habits with interactivity, dialogue and quick responses through the Internet.

More Relevant Information

The probability that an invoice is thrown into the wastepaper basket without reading is extremely low. The invoice is actually a document that the receiver wants or needs to open and read. The contacts with the customers through the invoices are therefore opportunities for all kinds of communication, contents and offers may be more personalized and relevant for the customer. The transactional documents will be effective one-to-one marketing tools at a very low cost.

Time to Re-think

We offer a number of solutions on how to develop the invoicing into what we call Smart Communication. It is about increasing efficiency through out the whole communication process, increase sales and customers’ loyalty. Our modern technique – and the consumers’ changing expectations – makes this the right moment to tell you about
how we may help you to optimise your business handling of transactional communication. Until now the invoicehas been considered a liability and not the great potential it actually is.

WHAT IS TRANSPROMO?

Transpromo is what it sounds like; transactional and promotional information integrated. It is about transforming the invoice into an effective and smart one-to-one marketing tool. The messages could be segmented on customer profile or on customer activity.

FURTHER OPPORTUNITIES

Co-marketing

Co-marketing is selling promotional space to a third party. Co-marketing when worked well, add significant value to your mail piece and even result in reduced costs. It may even make your transactional mailing to be a a zero cost operation.


E-billing

All your customers are not the same and have their own preference on how to get contacted. Through our e-services it is – depending on the customer’s choice – possible to offer e-invoicing directly to the Internet bank, through e-mail or send SMS notifications. To use the channel that fit to the individual preference is crucial to improve the customer relationship.

Data Management

Data Management is about the data logistic through the communication process. It could be merging data files, set the rules for personalization (messages, channel and timing), document composition, co-sorting of separate documents to the same customer or co-sending of separate mailings from the same sender, for postage optimization. Data Management also includes cleaning addresses as well as sorting into separate distributors and much more. We also offer tools for Web Content Management, an interface to manage your communication.
