National deafblind charity Sense is testing a new interactive pack in its committed
giving recruitment campaign which started on 4 November 2004. 
The pack includes
a touch and smell device which gives the reader an insight into how important other
senses are to a deafblind child. It also encourages the reader to try asking for
a biscuit using deafblind manual alphabet.

The pack, originated and designed by Cascaid, aims to recruit regular giving donors
and build their commitment to Sense. The interactive mail pack is being tested against
their banker pack and another creative that focuses on the magic of touch in a deafblind
child’s life.

 

 

Cascaid Marketing Managing Director, Roger Lawson, explaine: “The touch and smell
concept uses new ink technology, which was design for exactly that purpose, to release
a smell when touched. It immediately engages the reader in the pack and with the
lives of children who can neither see nor hear. We specifically targeted lists that
we know will respond to emotive asks, but this pack takes the prospective donor 
beyond the basic emotion of sympathy to one of genuine care with a positive outcome.”
