team.”

solution since the launch of the first model in 2007.
Today the platform is available in several

One2One Communications at the American Solutions for
Business Winter Conference
DALLAS, TX: One2One Communications was at the American
Solutions for Business "The Best Kept Secret" Winter Conference
on February 3 at The Fairmont Dallas.
American is a distributor of printing, promotional products,
office supplies and strategic solutions for building and growing
businesses.
Travis Howe, Vice President of Sales, and Mark Hammerstrom, Vice
President of Marketing and Communications,
were One2One’s booth representatives at the show. Howe and
Hammerstrom met with many of American’s Agents and Consultants,
and provided information about One2One’s products and services,
including
integrated TransPromo marketing opportunities using the billing
statement.
One2One plans to attend American's Fall Conference - details
coming soon.
American Printer Article; October 1, 2008 - MAKING A GO OF
TRANSPROMO.
Transpromotional documents (or transpromo as everyone calls
them) are untried novelties for most print service providers.
But not for One2One Communications (www.one2onecom.com)
of Bolingbrook, IL, whose vice president of sales, Travis Howe,
was a speaker at the recent TransPromo Summit in New York City.
One2One, according to Howe, has been talking to its customers
about putting personalized marketing messages on their
transaction statements for the last six years. “We already know
about it,” he says.
InfoTrends (Weymouth, MA), the organizer of the TransPromo
Summit, wants other print service providers — especially those
catering to companies generating transaction documents on a
modest scale — to be as comfortable in transpromo territory as
One2One. And that certainly was one purpose of the two-day
(August 13-14) symposium: to persuade printers of all sizes that
they now have the means, the motive, and the opportunity to
break in.
InfoTrends, the print market research firm that launched the
TransPromo Summit last year, foresees a boom in demand for
bills, statements and other mailed documents that digitally
merge transaction information with variable content tailored to
the buying habits or group characteristics of each recipient.
The output of these response-triggering messages, says
InfoTrends, will reach 22.8 billion pieces by 2012, with more
than half produced by or for customers generating them in
relatively small quantities.
Howe says One2One — a billing statement specialist that produces
more than 600 million statements, letters, targeted direct mail
pieces, and delinquency/disconnect notices per year — is glad to
be in on the ground floor of the trend. It has created
successful transpromo campaigns for customers in the cable
broadcast and automotive industries, and soon it will move to
all-digital production of transpromo mailers with the
installation of an InfoPrint 5000 color printing system.

September 2, 2008 - ONE2ONE COMMUNICATIONS
ANNOUNCES AGREEMENT TO EMPLOY MINDFIREINC INTEGRATED
MARKETING SOULUTIONS.
Bolingbrook, IL - One2One Communications announced today that it has reached an
agreement to license the integrated marketing solutions of MindFireInc. The products
of MindFireInc will allow One2One to incorporate interactive personalization, customized
campaign development, data tracking and management tools into their client’s TransPromotional
marketing strategies.
Rick Brammer, Chief Operating Officer of One2One Communications, said:
“This represents an exciting addition to our already rich suite of client services. Especially
exciting is the opportunity this presents to our statement clients to employ state of the art
integrated marketing solutions that will enhance the personalization of their marketing, messaging
and sales capabilities using the most valuable customer communications medium—their billing statements.”
Research has shown that billing statements typically receive the highest delivery, open and read rates
of any printed customer communications.
Incorporating Personalized URLs clients can target, customize and personalize
their key customer advertising messages, while managing valuable client data to enhance their
on-statement TransPromotional strategy and further improve response rates.
Joe Manos, Executive Vice President of MindFireInc, said: “One2One Communication’s
deployment of our services using their high quality billing statements represents a unique opportunity
for us. While the use of personalization to increase the effectiveness of marketing campaigns and response
rates using direct mail has been well established, using the billing statement has additional advantages in
that the statement realizes more than 95% open and read rates. This virtually assures increased advertising
impressions and exposure to the personalization provided by the Personalized URL.
Additionally, incorporating Personalized URLs into One2One’s Electronic
Bill Presentment and Payment (EBPP) products provides a direct link back to personalized landing pages for sales,
marketing and other key customer communication functions.”
The companies will begin to introduce the MindFireInc products to One2One’s statement clients
during the third quarter of 2008.
