Examples of cold acquisition from practice

360talent, a recruitment specialist focused on matching employers and employees, used the Multilayer Pop-up Card in a creative way to reach their target audience. The front of the card contained the text "In this card, there are more than 1,200 security guards." Upon opening the card, the recipient was surprised by a pop-up effect. of three layers. showing different security guards. This created the impression of a large group of security guards ready for the recipient. The funny twist followed in the message "OK, these are not 1,200, but the rest were all working for your competitors during the shoot." This emphasised the urgency of their service in a humorous and effective way. Using this card for cold acquisition was a smart move. After all, it attracted attention and underlined their expertise.

PIY RIBBONS: a personal touch with ribbons

PIY RIBBONS' focus was on cold acquisition of their product from jewellers. For this mailing, they designed a pop-up element in the form of a shop counter. Behind it was an employee in a jewellery shop. This set-up created a playful depth and immediately involved the recipient in the world of luxury. The card itself contains information about the company, the ribbons and how to personalise them. The mailing was also sent in four different languages, to appeal to an even larger target audience. A QR code led the recipient to a "starter kit", which allowed them to get started designing their own ribbons. By adding a QR code to the pop-up card, PIY RIBBONS managed to reach their target group in an effective way.
