What Is uDesignIt!?
uDesignIt! is the variable-data personalization feature of a Marketing Ideas For Printers website. It allows print buyers to customize products, such as business cards, using templates connected to your order forms or Reorder Forms Library.
How It Works
1. The print buyer enters information into fields such as Name, Address, and Phone Number.
2. uDesignIt! places that information into a predefined template.
3. The system generates a proof for the print buyer to review and a production-ready PDF for your printshop.
Why Use uDesignIt!?
uDesignIt! simplifies personalized ordering for print buyers and reduces preparation work for your team:
- Instant proofs: Print buyers can review their personalized designs online.
- Production-ready files: Your team receives a PDF ready to enter your workflow.
- Less manual entry: Information flows directly into the template, reducing errors from retyping.
- Time savings: Print buyers enter their information and approve their proofs, reducing typesetting and proofing time.
- A convenient ordering experience: Print buyers can personalize and order materials directly on your website.
Even a few orders each month can help offset the subscription cost. For example, saving 15 minutes per order on four monthly orders frees up one hour of staff time.
