Renewal and Retention Mailing
Renewal mailings are personal by nature. Every recipient has their own lapse date, a different premium, a unique policy reference. Generic renewal letters underperform significantly against personalised versions – and the cost of losing a member or policyholder to a competitor is high.
We personalise renewal letters and enclosures to the individual using variable data printing, including name, policy reference, renewal date, premium amount, suggested payment options and more. Where individual recipients receive different documents – for example, a renewal pack where information changes based on cover levels – our capabilities manage this accurately within the same production run.
Trigger-based renewal dispatch
Rather than a single campaign wave, many insurance and membership clients send renewal letters on a rolling trigger – for instance, dispatched weekly to all policyholders or members whose renewal date falls in the next 30 or 60 days. We manage trigger-based dispatch on a standing schedule. You send the weekly data file; we handle the rest.
The process, end to end
1. Data file preparation
Share your renewal data file. We validate and cleanse addresses before production. Each record ensures the personalisation of the letter and any variable inserts.
2. Variable data printing
Every renewal letter personalised with the recipient’s specific details. Variable text, tables and even policy schedules driven from your data file.
3. Enclosing
Machine enclosing for standard renewal configurations. Hand fulfilment for complex pack builds with variable documents per recipient.
4. Dispatch
Sorted and dispatched on your renewal schedule to ensure recipients receive their renewal documentation in good time.
