2002 - Thermo
Christmas Themed Mailer Created For Latest Product

HTML mailers continue to be very popular with our clients, the beauty of them being they have a quick turnaround time and are easy to distribute. Thermo Hybaid, a manufacturer of high-tech scientific instruments, requested a Christmas card style email to be sent out to  its employees and customers over the holiday period. The intention was to spread seasonal greetings and promote a new machine, the PxE Thermal Cycler, as well as introduce them to the new brand guidelines.

Digital Marmalade proceeded to design the mailer, selecting imagery and developing a concept based around Thermo's newly devised brand guidelines. Links were made to product information residing on the company website and a Christmas message of goodwill. The design was tested to ensure it displayed correctly and the finished product was sent to Thermo, ready for delivery.

Sara Howland, Product Manager - Thermo Hybaid says, "Digital Marmalade helped us to create a very simple message from an extremely complicated brief, and the result was fantastic."

The Thermo Christmas 'card' was warmly received by the various divisions within the company and was a hit with Thermo Hybaid's customers. The following comments are proof, that despite its simple nature, the mailer remains a cost effective marketing solution.

"..This is very clever execution well done!"
