Occasionally only 2 different stamps were sold within a booklet, with the explicit urge for young collectors to exchange these stamps among themselves. E.g. Narnia and Madagaskar. In most cases the Austrian Post cooperated with a Vienna based group called 'Ferrytells' that would develope such a marketing strategy. Ferrytells is known in the Netherlands for their product 'Monsters' that was issued by the Netherlands Post Office in November 2006. |
