Working closely with their existing sales, marketing and production teams, CMP have created working practises to enable the production of  marketing material containing highly topical information which is targeted to individual recipients. This has encompassed the following areas:

• Database management and customer profiling: i.e. making sure that money isn't wasted sending information to people, who no longer need it, who have changed companies, or  who don't even exist!
  
• Software evaluation: Identifying which tools would be most suitable for the particular environment and existing working practices. Installation, training and ongoing advice/support.
  
• Design: Creating layouts/templates for a wide range of hard copy marketing pieces to be written by internal editorial staff.
  
• Print purchasing and production management: Ensuring that the hard copies are reproduced to agreed standards, on time and to budget. Note CMP does not add a 'handling charge', 'mark-up' or 'service charge' etc. If you already have existing suppliers we would be delighted to work within existing agreements.
  
• Result: Customer satisfaction is high. Firstly because the process of change has been achieved in a very short time frame and secondly, as the process has been out sourced, there has been minimum disruption to ongoing production.
