Our Case Studies
OneSource Virtual reached out to us looking for a huge amount of advent calendars and greeting cards to be sent out to their customers, prospects and partners. We had the pleasure of adding this well-known company to our client list.
OneSource Virtual is a leading provider of Workday services, solutions and products. They adopt a customer-centric approach to deliver measurable outcomes daily.
30 day advent calendars were produced for OneSource with the same dimensions as our normal traditional advent calendars but with 30 days instead.
30 pieces of solid luxury milk chocolates were produced and are suitable for vegetarians, kosher and halal.
The advent calendar was digitally printed with full colour, had perforated windows and silver foil backing. The foil backing was an additional cost but it does keep the contents fresher. The front and back of the printed calendar are different, the front is more basic with images and the back is a very simple design with a message from the brand and the necessary nutritional information.

Clients and customers were widely thought about with the addition of custom greeting cards being placed inside each mailer as well as the seasonal advent calendars.
The cards design was different to the printed calendar but was similar to match the theme of their overall product. Inside was a well thought out message and was signed by the CEO. A5 portrait cards were produced with four colour process printing to both sides with them being folded and trimmed to size.
Quantity: 4000
This was a big Christmas project with each one of the 4000 business calendars being sent out to seperate addresses. In this project we included individual mailers, address labels, shipping and then fulfilling all these orders including sending them out seperately.
Each label was created and printed, placed onto the outermailers with the greeting cards and advent calendars then placed into them. They were then safely packaged up and sent out within a short time frame.
Address labels: 35mm x 90mm

The festive season is a time of joy, anticipation, and togetherness, and what better way to celebrate than with an advent calendar that counts down the days to Christmas or other special occasions? For businesses, advent calendars offer a unique opportunity to promote their brand, products, or services in a fun and engaging way. While luxury rigid board advent calendars are popular for their high-end appeal, they can be quite expensive. However, there’s an equally exciting alternative that combines cost-effectiveness with creativity: traditional self-promo advent calendars.
Traditional Advent Calendars: A Budget-Friendly Option:
Traditional advent calendars are a fantastic choice for businesses looking to create memorable promotional products without breaking the bank. These calendars, typically filled with delightful milk chocolate squares, offer a fun and interactive way to count down to Christmas, a product launch, or any special event. Made in the UK, these chocolates are suitable for vegetarians, kosher, and halal, ensuring they cater to a wide audience.
What sets these advent calendars apart is their customisability. Businesses can personalise each calendar with their unique artwork and have it printed in eye-catching full colour. Whether you choose to print on one side or both, the large branding area provides ample space to showcase your logo, message, or design. Additionally, you can add a unique message or image behind each door, making the countdown even more exciting for recipients.
The dimensions of these calendars are slightly smaller than A4, making them compact yet impactful. With a minimum order quantity of 100 units, they are an ideal choice for small to medium-sized businesses looking to create a significant impression during the festive season. For added freshness, foil backing can be included at an extra cost, ensuring that the luxurious chocolates inside stay deliciously fresh.
Ramadan Advent Calendars: A Thoughtful Twist on Tradition:
While Christmas advent calendars are a staple of the festive season, businesses can also consider Ramadan advent calendars as a unique promotional tool. Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, is observed by Muslims worldwide as a time of fasting, prayer, and reflection. A Ramadan advent calendar offers a thoughtful and culturally sensitive way to engage with Muslim customers during this significant time.
Like the traditional advent calendars, Ramadan calendars can be fully customised with your artwork and messages. These calendars feature 30 doors, representing each day of Ramadan, with a sweet treat behind each one to be enjoyed at Iftar, the evening meal that breaks the fast. This not only adds a touch of fun to the fasting period but also provides an educational element, with messages of Hadith or other meaningful quotes behind each door.
Ramadan advent calendars can also be designed as desktop versions, which are smaller yet equally impactful. These calendars are digitally printed with Ramadan-themed designs and can include your company’s logo, making them an excellent promotional gift for Muslim families or businesses during the holy month.
The Perfect Promotional Tool:
Self-promo advent calendars, whether for Christmas or Ramadan, offer a budget-friendly alternative to luxury rigid board options. They allow businesses to creatively engage with their audience, building brand awareness and loyalty during the festive season. With options to customise both the design and the contents, these calendars are versatile, memorable, and, most importantly, cost-effective.
So, if you’re looking for a way to spread holiday cheer while promoting your brand, consider opting for traditional or Ramadan advent calendars. They’re not just a sweet treat—they’re a sweet deal for your marketing strategy.
