Advent calendars have been brightening our days leading up to the holidays since the mid-19th century, and they have taken various forms in different cultures. Today, they are one of the most beloved Christmas gadgets for children as well as adults, making them a perfect gift for your clients during the holiday season!
Is a corporate advent calendar a good idea for a Christmas gift for clients and colleagues? Absolutely! Nothing quite sets the mood of joyful anticipation for Christmas like it. A tastefully designed advent calendar filled with delicious treats, which can be placed on a desk and opened daily to reveal each window or drawer, shortens the time until one of the most delightful holidays of the year. It also ensures particularly positive associations with the brand while effectively showcasing its logo and marketing message.
Corporate advent calendars with the company logo – how did their history begin?
The promotional advent calendar is a descendant of calendars invented around 1850 to help prepare for the important religious holiday of Christmas. This Lutheran tradition initially involved lighting one of twenty-four candles each day. Additionally, twenty-four lines were drawn with chalk on doors, and erasing one line each day symbolized counting down to Christmas Eve. However, it took some time before the first promotional advent calendar appeared…
Printed advent calendars with windows didn’t hit the market until about 60 years later, in 1908 in Germany. They were produced and popularized by Gerhard Lang. As a young boy, he couldn’t wait for Christmas, and tired of his constant questions, his mother created the first advent calendar with windows for him. Once again, it proved true that necessity is the mother of invention.
Advent calendars with custom printing make ideal corporate holiday gifts.
Original printed advent calendars are now very popular and valued corporate gifts. Their main advantages include universality – they fit every type of business, evoke positive associations by creating a holiday atmosphere, and have excellent marketing value. Our company also offers advertising advent calendars to clients. As a form, we chose modern, perfectly made cube-shaped boxes with torn-out windows or pull-out drawers, where the entire surface of the calendar can be printed with the client’s graphics. Each of our corporate advent calendars is finished with an elegant matte film, and can additionally be decorated with gilding, glitter, and selective varnish. You can also commission us to fill the calendar with sweets or small gadgets. Advent calendars for companies produced by the Caira brand are packed in individual boxes, which protect the product during transport.
