NEW: We have built an even better Advent calendar for you. Visit Smarter Advent Calendar to give your intranet a festive glow.
Why an Advent calendar for Microsoft 365 and SharePoint?
The idea behind our calendar is simple: connect Microsoft 365 and SharePoint with positive experiences. The Smarter Advent Calendar lets your organisation share news, surveys, raffles, and fun updates that keep colleagues informed while spreading holiday cheer.
Run the campaign throughout December to:
- Communicate important information in a playful format.
- Strengthen understanding and adoption of Microsoft 365 and SharePoint.
- Boost employee engagement with interactive surveys or challenges.
- Gather feedback on upcoming initiatives while pairing it with positive emotions.
What turns a calendar into an Advent calendar?
Just like the traditional version, each of the 24 doors hides a surprise. You are free to curate your own mix of stories, videos, quizzes, or forms. Need inspiration? Try these ideas:
- Share the company goals for the upcoming year.
- Look back on achievements and celebrate the team’s effort.
- Highlight digital workplace solutions such as Microsoft Teams or Yammer.
- Offer tips and tricks that help people work smarter with Microsoft 365.
Ideas for prizes and giveaways
Daily or weekly rewards make participation even more exciting. Popular options include:
- Lunch vouchers or coffee tokens for the cafeteria.
- Tech gadgets or accessories employees would love to use.
- Donations to charities in the name of the company and the winners.
No matter how you configure the prizes, the Smarter Advent Calendar gives you the flexibility to run the campaign the way it fits your culture best.
