Lost in the post

Did your Christmas appeal in 2006 perform inexplicably badly? Is your charity based in Aberdeen or the North East of England? If so, we might just have the answer.

Royal Mail to add sensory impact to direct mail

The Royal Mail is partnering with sense branding specialists BRAND Sense to enhance direct mail by adding elements that appeal to all five senses - smell, taste, touch, sight and sound. Its new service, 'Sensory Mail', will help brand managers "engage customers by leveraging two or more of the senses through direct mail."
