Toronto, Ontario – December 15, 2010 – Creative marketing agency, Eden Advertising & Interactive is the proud winner of a 2010 Web2Award for a personalized cross-media marketing initiative designed for Alphagraphics.

The cross-media marketing campaign consisted of a personalized calendar sent to Alphagraphics customers, directing them to visit a uniquely personalized website in order to fill out a questionnaire relating to their printing needs followed by a selection of complimentary gift cards to choose from. For AlphaGraphics, not only did this initiative deliver new business for the company, the results earned a 13.5% response rate, which Alphagraphics franchisee, Jim Hewell said “was our most successful direct marketing campaign to date.”

The Web2Awards hosted by The Printing Industries of America, is an annual award competition in the print and marketing service provider industry. This award celebrates the forward-thinking mindset of companies and their ability to excel in current technologies to enhance their businesses. Entries were judged by a 5-panel group of professionals who marked entries based on overall design, structure and navigation, content, technology, ease of use and innovation.

Judges from the competition were highly impressed with Eden. “Great design and creativity. Using personalization to link multichannel campaigns to business opportunities is what integrated marketing is all about”, said one of the panel members.

“It’s great to be recognized with our second award for this cross media campaign.” said Esther Willinger, President of Eden Advertising & Interactive. “Thanks to our creative expertise and Racad Tech’s 1-to-1 variable printing technology which was utilized to enable such an integrated personalized solution, we are not only able to win awards, but also drive measurable results for our clients.”
