Description

In the pre-Christmas season, Procter & Gamble introduced a special give-away at selected stores and pharmacies: an advent calendar, which is sure to make it a white Christmas. Behind each of the 24 little doors are two Crest Whitestrips. Used over the entire Advent season, this medical dental treatment made snow-white teeth a sure thing. People were able to admire the result directly on Christmas Day, because behind the 24th door panel there was a little mirror. Thanks to this 24-day dental treatment with Crest Whitestrips, customers were not only reminded of their trusted pharmacy or drugstore each day, but could also gleam on Christmas Eve with a snow-white smile.

Outcome

No wonder that this Advent calendar, with a print run of approx. 300, was out of stock in an instant: it simply left everyone beaming with joy. Pharmacy owners were delighted because the demand for the product increased significantly after Christmas, as well as all users because it guaranteed that they could celebrate a truly “snow-white” Christmas.
