Letters:  TWW 1967 The Promotional Archive

 

A good way of getting letterheads and brochures from ITV companies was to put a relative's company down on their mailing lists.  Kif Bowden-Smith's father, Harry, owned one of the north's largest holiday companies of the time, Arrowsmith Holidays.

By sending Arrowsmith's details to TWW, Granada, ABC and most other companies, a considerable number of brochures and letters appeared in the post regularly, to be rescued from the company's Bold Street, Liverpool, office's wastebaskets.  The downside was the vast number of sales phone calls this policy caused the staff at Arrowsmith to have to answer.
