Soap in the Invitation letter

The organizers had sent an attractive invitation letter – more like an advertisement than an invitation to an award ceremony. By looking at the package nobody could guess it was an award ceremony. The package, designed by the sponsor – Unilever doesn’t even has a word ‘Film’ in it’s cover. The only writing about the event is “Lux Kamana Awards” and it has a full feminine touch of pink roses and a pink coloured soap.

There were also two sample soaps in the box. Although the organizer also publish a film magazine, they didn’t mention about the publication or the Nepali movie industry. I think, Kamana Publication lost a very attractive promotional opportunity. They could have included a copy of ‘Kamana’ or at least a few interesting pages of the magazine.
