To support the UK launch of their new luxury moisturiser, Sensai partnered with PSE to create a high-end direct mail campaign targeting loyal Harrods beauty customers. Combining refined data insight, premium design, and a tactile brand experience, the campaign featured an elegantly crafted mailer housing a product sample and delivered with understated sophistication. The initiative successfully drove in-store engagement and early sales, reinforcing the power of luxury direct mail in a digital age.
THE PROJECT
Sensai, part of the Japanese beauty house Kanebo Cosmetics, partnered with PSE to support the UK launch of their latest luxury moisturiser. With a strong reputation for high-end skincare and an exclusive retail partnership with Harrods, Sensai was looking for a UK-based partner to deliver a premium direct mail campaign that would reach their most loyal customers.
The aim was to create a beautifully crafted, tactile experience that reflected the elegance of the Sensai brand, while generating excitement and footfall within stores for the new product launch.
THE DATA INSIGHT
The campaign was underpinned by a highly selective mailing list, consisting of Harrods customers with a known history of purchasing luxury beauty products, specifically Sensai. PSE supported data cleansing and refinement to ensure accuracy, GDPR compliance, and maximum deliverability.
THE CREATIVE
Bringing Sensai’s silk-inspired philosophy into homes required more than just a beautiful design, it demanded a multi-phase creative process that balanced elegance, function and precision.
Working closely with Sensai, our creative team spent time developing the creative, ensuring that every element aligned with the brand’s refined aesthetic. The result was a premium mailer featuring:
- A carefully crafted leaflet housing a sample of Sensai’s new Cellular Performance Fresh Cream.
- A soft-touch laminate finish that conveyed a sense of indulgence and quality.
- An understated, logo-only envelope for a sleek, luxury presentation.
The attention to detail, from format testing to material choices, ensured the tactile experience of receiving and opening the mailer was just as luxurious as using the product itself.
In a digital-first world, this campaign proved that touch still speaks volumes.

THE OUTCOME
The mailer landed in homes in alignment with the product launch at Harrods. Initial feedback showed strong interest, an increase in store traffic, and positive early sales figures, proving that luxury direct mail remains a powerful channel for connecting with high-value customers in the UK beauty market.
