A bold, oversized outer was used to catch the eye and entice people to find out more inside. This campaign was Prostate Cancer UK’s most successful DM pack to date. It had a response rate of 14.38% and income of £306,011 (vs 9.25% and If undelivered, please return to: Prostate Cancer UK, York House, Wetherby Road, Long Marston, York YO26 7NH £193,827 projected).
