Add self-service direct mail campaigns to your platform
Let customers configure campaigns, personalize approved templates, and launch direct mail orders inside your existing portal.
Why self-service direct mail is difficult to build
Customers increasingly want to launch and manage campaigns without going through account managers or manual onboarding flows. Supporting these self-service experiences requires much more than a simple template editor.
Templates must work for both designers and end users
Professional designers need the flexibility to create sophisticated templates, while end users expect simple campaign customization without breaking brand or layout rules.
Personalization infrastructure must scale efficiently
Direct mail systems often need to generate large campaign volumes in short time windows, while remaining cost-efficient during idle periods.
Traditional VDP systems are difficult to embed
Most VDP and composition systems were not designed for customer-facing workflows, embedded UX, or integration into modern portals and applications.
Custom-built workflows become difficult to evolve
Systems built around today's campaign scenarios often become rigid as personalization logic and workflow requirements grow more complex.
Self-service direct mail inside your existing platform
Customer's Canvas Hub helps direct mail platforms and providers support customer-facing campaign setup, personalization, and print generation without rebuilding their existing systems.
Customers can customize approved templates, preview personalized mail pieces, and place orders directly within your portal or application while your platform remains in control of data, workflows, and integrations.
