Bosch: Calendar

Bosch: Calendar

Brief:
To get selected dealers and distributors excited about the new, special high-performance, battery-operated Bosch Rotak 43 LI lawn mower - with the help of an exceptional calendar.

Solution:
Every page in the calendar is cut in a special way to initially create the individual impression of a wild and untended lawn. The recipient becomes part of the action and tears off a calendar page every day. By doing this, he is actually continuing to 'mow' day by day and so, bit by bit, he has a perfectly cut lawn in front of him at the end of the year. It's an authentic and unique mowing experience, because the width of the calendar corresponds exactly to the width of the lawn mower.

Results:
Thanks to its surprising idea, the calendar quickly became a coveted collector's item. Since its publication in the middle of December 2007, the battery-operated Bosch lawn mower has been a topic of conversation within the national German dealer network.

End of the year is the best :D

I don't know... i think it's diferent, okay.

but you only see what happens in the last day of the year?

And in all other days you can't cut out the whole grass.

Strange, maybe the ideia isn't finish allready.

Superb...and you don't have to cut the lawn to get an idea...

coool

so it takes a year for you to mow the lawn?

A neat idea. It would ensure the lawnmower was seared into your brain whether you like it or not, a nice invasive piece of advertising.

I like this one. Simple. Clear. Clever. With no jagged edges.
