Vaseline Intensive Care Canada Selects US-based Patti Wood as New Campaign Spokesperson

Interview Opportunity With U.S.-Based Patti Wood, a Certified Professional Speaker and body language expert. Patti Wood has been selected as the new spokesperson for Vaseline Intensive Care Lotion, Canada.

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) February 5, 2006 -- Vaseline Intensive Care Lotion®, Canada, has selected Patti Wood, MA, CSP of metro Atlanta, Georgia to be their spokesperson for their national Touch Campaign. Studies show that people touch their pets more than they touch their loved ones. Canadians are “touch-deprived” and most people would agree that is true in the United States. “Human touch has remarkable biological, psychological, social and communicative benefits,” says Patti Wood, an expert on touch and body language. “Whether it’s putting your arm around a friend in comfort, celebrating a monumental occasion by enveloping someone in a hug or simply holding hands as you walk down the street, there is great power in a single touch.” We’ve become a society that prefers to email colleagues in the next cubicle rather than get up and make eye contact. The Leger Marketing survey found that on average, Canadians spend nearly five times longer each day on electronic communication than on touching other people.
