'''Transpromotional''' ("transpromo") is a compound term from "transaction" and "promotional". By adding relevant messages, companies can piggyback [[Promotion (marketing)|promotion]] or [[advertising]] onto existing transaction-related documents, such as statements, invoices, or bills. These documents combine CRM ([[customer relationship management]]) and [[data mining]] with [[variable data printing]] and [[location intelligence]].
Using the space on electronic documents and bills for marketing and promotional offers often results in higher click rates and [[Return on investment|ROI]] than traditional [[email marketing]]. Email content can be customized to include relevant, targeted, and personalized marketing offers.
== Overview == Adding promotion onto existing transaction-related documents has a number of advantages over promotion by other means.
# Openability. Statements and invoices are expected and usually require action, containing important financial information. Over 95% of transaction documents are opened and read each month, far more than other direct response efforts. # Engagement. Bills and statements get more attention than other communication forms, including [[television advertisements]], resulting in higher conversion and [[click rate]]s. Customers typically spend one to three minutes reviewing statements.<ref>[[Group 1 Software]], Inc., 2004 Research Study</ref> # [[Cost efficiency]]. Transactional email messaging eliminates the need for costly traditional paper inserts.<ref>[https://stripo.email/blog/maximizing-email-marketing-roi-strategies-statistics-and-calculations/ "Maximizing email marketing ROI"].

This type of detailed tracking and reporting facilitates intelligent, revenue-based marketing decisions, derived from measurable customer behavior. # Returns. Statement-based marketing is effective because it targets current customers. A five percent increase in current customer business can translate into as much as a 50 percent increase in bottom-line profits.<ref>Jack Schmid and Alan Weber, Desktop Database Marketing</ref> # [[Personalized marketing|Customized offer]]s. Statement-based marketing is effective because it enables customized offers to be automatically generated by the transactional data within the document itself. It can be personalized according to customer [[demographics]], [[business driver]]s and marketing criteria.<ref>Grant Stewart, Vectis, White Paper: Trigger based marketing within transactional documents, 2009</ref>
