Article Abstract:
St John's, Newfoundland-based Market Insights Inc has created a personalized mailout written on a scroll which is contained in a large tin can. The can is mailed in a box containing a can opener, and inscribed with the person's name, company and title on the label. Market Insights tried marketing the mailout to 50 addressees and received phenomenal response to the product. The omnibus survey will provide food manufacturers with answers about their products at a cost that is very much lower than what it sould cost for an independent survey.
