System and method for creating variable data print samples for campaigns

A method comprising:

• providing a first user a selection of various variable data printing (VDP) patterns through at least one computerized device using a first VDP module;
• receiving a selection of at least one of said VDP patterns from said first user through said at least one computerized device;
• receiving at least one of image, text, and graphics into said initial sample design from said first user through said at least one computerized device,
• tagging said image, text, and graphics by associating VDP pattern elements with said image, text, and graphics, said receiving of said image, text, and graphics and said tagging altering said initial sample design into said tagged sample design;
• automatically converting said tagged sample design into at least one different format file using said at least one computerized device, said different format file being different than a format used by said first VDP module;
• automatically providing said different format file to at least one second user using said at least one computerized device;
• and
• including, by said second user, data components into said different format file using a second VDP module and said at least one computerized device to support composition of a targeted marketing campaign sample.

A system comprising:

• at least one computerized device;
• and
• at least one network operatively connected to said at least one computerized device;
• said at least one computerized device providing a first user a selection of various variable data printing (VDP) patterns;
• said at least one computerized device receiving a selection of at least one of said VDP patterns from said first user;
• said at least one computerized device automatically loading the VDP pattern elements of said VDP pattern into a first VDP module;
• said at least one computerized device receiving at least one of image, text, and graphics into said initial sample design from said first user;
• said at least one computerized device tagging said image, text, and graphics by associating ones of said VDP pattern elements with said image, text, and graphics, said receiving of said image, text, and graphics and said tagging altering said initial sample design into said tagged sample design;
• said at least one computerized device automatically converting said tagged sample design into at least one different format file, said different format file being different than a format used by said first VDP module;
• said at least one computerized device automatically providing said different format file to at least one second user using said network;
• and
• said at least one computerized device including, based in input from said second user, data or logic components into said different format file using a second VDP module to support composition of a targeted marketing campaign sample.
