1. an information packet is not just one
pamphlet all by itself. It is a packet containing several pieces. These could be a
short punchy article designed to increase the person's
interest and
cause him to
reach more, a book flyer, and a book
order form.

Information Packet (Def. 1) 2. the idea with
information packs is to
sell the
right service to the
right public and make people
reach for and
buy the
service/
item that is being offered them. An
information pack no
matter what
type, must contain several pieces.
Example: a letter, flyer and
order form and
return address envelope, or, questionnaire,
short punchy article designed to increase the person I s
interest on the
subject he is being questioned about,
order form and
return address envelope. As a personal
touch, an
information pack must always give the
receiver the name and
post of the
terminal at the
org to
contact. The rule with
information packs is one
service - one
information pack.
Selling - too many
items could result in
confusion for the
receiver, who becomes
ARC broken and won't
buy a thing.
(BPL 20 May 72R) 3. packages made up and
mailed by the
Letter Registrar for newly interested people whose names have been received.
Special information packages are made up and
mailed by the
Letter Registrar to inform various sections of her
mailing list on the next
service they might be interested in,
having already done something. There could be a Book
Info Packet for a person who has just
bought a book, a Test
Info Packet for a person just tested, a
PE Info Packet for the person who has just done a
PE, etc., etc. In each
case it offers the next
service.
