In The Sound of Music, the iconic Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, Maria sings of the things she focuses on when times are tough. “Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens, brown paper packages tied up with string, these are a few of my favorite things.” From schnitzel to snowflakes, Maria finds that simple, tactile pleasures, have a joy-producing effect. “The Hand is the Visible Part of the Brain” Her observation is confirmed by science. American neurologist and best-selling author David Eagleman teamed up with Sappi paper company to produce “A Communicator’s Guide to the Neuroscience of Touch,” exploring how the science of touch directly shapes the impact of a message. When we touch things, we are immediately transformed from observers to participants. Studies have shown that even the simple act of touching objects, including print, can trigger a subconscious sense of ownership, raising the perceived value of a brand, its products, and its overall reputation. As Immanuel Kant once said, “the hand is the visible part of the brain.” The Power, Pleasure, and Permanency of Print Remind your customers of power and permanence of print! Local Edge, our direct mail postcard showcasing the
Ever feel swamped by relationships as you try to keep up with Twitter, Facebook, or various voice and messaging apps? Nearly 200 years ago, Henry Cole had a similar problem. A prominent educator, Cole held an elite social position in Victorian England, and during the holiday season of 1843, his popularity was stressing him out! With the rise of the “Penny Postal system,” year-end letters were exploding, and senders expected a personal response. As his stacks of unanswered mail grew, Cole hatched a simple solution: he commissioned an artist to sketch an original Christmas image (with room for a personal message) and had a thousand copies produced by a London printer. Spread the Love with High-Class Holiday Cards Personal and corporate greeting cards are now an integral part of holiday celebrations, including Christmas, New Year’s, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Thanksgiving, Winter Solstice, etc. Our November FastStart mailer inspires your customers to spread the love with a unique, memorable holiday card.

“We don’t accomplish anything in this world alone… whatever happens is the result of the whole tapestry of one’s life and all the weavings of individual threads from one to another that creates something.” ~ Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor Connections have power. While we intrinsically understand the importance of relationships, now there’s data to confirm it. Research shows that the brain reacts to social pain and pleasure in much the same way as it does to physical pain or pleasure. Profoundly Social Creatures In the 2013 book Social: Why Our Brains Are Wired to Connect, renowned psychologist and social cognitive neuroscientist Matthew Lieberman explains how groundbreaking brain research reveals our need to connect with other people is more fundamental, more basic, than our need for food or shelter. It commonly takes 10,000 hours for a person to master a particular skill set, and each of us has typically invested 10,000 hours learning to understand people or social settings by the time we are TEN! While schools and businesses often attempt to minimize social distractions and streamline efficiency, science shows that choking out relationships diminishes mental engagement, literally “shutting down the brain,” while decreasing productivity and harming our well-being.
