The Coconut

Name: The 3-Touch Sequence
SKU: three-touch-sequence
Price: 75 GBP
Availability: InStock

For your toughest nut to crack.

A real coconut, their name inked straight onto the shell, nested in a kraft box so it survives the post and lands on the desk with a thud. The whole office asks what it is, and your handwritten card explains you've been trying to crack this one for a while. Nobody has ever thrown away a coconut without reading the card first.

Your campaign

We print exactly this — edit anything.

Here is the letter we would print and post with The Coconut, already written. Change a line or rewrite the lot — what you leave in the box is what comes off the printer, on one A5 sheet. Set the number of parcels in the order box and a row appears for each person.

How should it be made?

Printed letterWe'd send thisAn A5 sheet laid out like an email that isn't an email — room to tell the whole story, and a signature block with your name on it.Handwritten cardSixty words in real ink on card stock, written out by hand. Short, warm, and obviously not automated.

Same price either way. It is the same parcel and the same object — all that changes is how the words get onto the paper.

Subject

Is finding the perfect [category] driving you NUTS?

Priya,

I was going to send you another email, but I'm sure you get a load of them every day, clogging up your inbox and making you want to launch your computer through the window. So I thought I'd try something different...

My name is [sender_name], I work for [sender_company]. [sender_reason]

You may tell me you found the perfect fit amongst your current set-up — if so, feel free to keep the coconut and launch it at my head next time you see me, for wasting your time.

But if that's not the case, and finding the perfect [category] is your toughest nut to crack... then take the time to learn from me why [proof_clients] bought us and never looked back.

You'd be cocoNUTS not to give me a quick call...

[sender_name]

Sample details shown until you type a name. Shown reduced — it prints on one A5 landscape sheet, 210 × 148 mm.

The signature block

Printed under the sign-off, and used to fill the gaps in the letter above. Anything you leave blank shows as [like this] on the proof — we never print a letter with a hole in it.

Your job title

Make it a joke. The founder's was Chief Nutcracker, and it is half the charm.

Your company

Your phone number

Your email

What you sell

Goes into the subject line. Their words, not your product name.

Why you're worth a call

Clients who prove it

Name them. Real names beat 'three household names' every time — this is the line that earns the meeting.

Who is getting it?

1 parcel

Names and companies are optional here — they are what the merge fields swap in, so it is worth adding them if you have them. The postal addresses come from the list you upload straight after checkout.

Add verified address research+ £8 per prospect · 1 prospect = £8On top of the checking already in the price, we confirm on LinkedIn that they still hold the role, cross-check the trading address against Companies House and the company's own site, and send you a written confidence note on every name — flagged where we would post to a different site.

Either way, we confirm the person and the delivery address before anything is posted. That part is included, and always will be.

What the price includes

Tracked postage
Every parcel goes tracked, and we tell you the day it lands so your call or email arrives the same morning.
A written message
Your note, handwritten in real ink on card. We will tighten the wording for you if you would like us to.
Free resend on failed delivery
If it does not get there, we make another one and send it again at our cost. No claim form, no argument.
Sourcing, making and packing
We buy the object, personalise it, pack it so it survives the post, and address it by hand.
Address checking, included
Before anything is posted we confirm the person and the delivery address. Checking that somebody still works where you think they do is the job, not an extra — so it is in the price, not on the bill.

The Socks

Take the pun literally, and post it.

A pair of proper dark bamboo socks, wrapped in a printed band carrying your gag and flat-packed so they go through the letterbox rather than sitting at a depot. This is the campaign Breakthrough came out of: risk directors were being emailed to death about a regulation the whole sector had nicknamed UK SOX, so we posted them actual socks with a printed letter explaining the joke. If your market has an acronym everyone is sick of reading, this is how you say it out loud.

The Handwritten Letter

The last person who wrote to them was their nan.

Real ink on heavy cotton paper, written by an actual human hand, closed with a wax seal they have to break themselves. It arrives looking like a wedding invitation in a stack of window envelopes, so it gets opened first and read slowly. Best when you want warmth and credibility rather than a laugh.

Proven classic

The Brick

Hit them with it. Gently.

A convincing foam brick, printed with your line, that weighs nothing and lands like a joke. They pick it up expecting masonry, find it's light as a sponge, and it ends up being lobbed round the office all afternoon. Your card is tucked underneath, making the point that you've been trying to get through the wall for weeks.
