Plan backwards from the date

  1. 1

    Arrival date

    Account for holidays, closures and delivery locations before planning.

  2. 2

    Approval deadline

    Finalise products, personalisation and addresses by the agreed date.

  3. 3

    Shipping window

    Allow lead time for assembly, transport and potential exceptions.

The situation

The receiving date determines the lead time.

Recipient lists, procurement and finishing need to come together in time. The appropriate dispatch window depends on destination addresses and their receiving hours. While standing-range items continue through fulfillment, the Christmas campaign is prepared as a separate order on the campaign line. Approved data, available goods and the agreed shipping plan determine your schedule.

What this shows

Steady state and peak in one curve.

The curve shows where the campaign line adds capacity. The prepared resources behind the rise are what make it work.

Proven

Campaign business at scale: Coca-Cola, Bitburger, Erdinger.

Three accounts from the beverage business show the pattern that matters in December: a defined time window, high unit volume, end customers in play — and no second attempt.

Coca-Cola Europacific Partners
Logistics for POS materials serving retail and hospitality, trial packs, glass and umbrella shipments, promotions and VIP ticketing. These different tasks each need agreed volumes, data and dates.
Bitburger
Summer campaign, campaign-driven: complete logistics management from goods receipt to prize shipment to end customers, direct order import from the sweepstakes app, plus operation of hotline and email support, largely AI-supported.
Erdinger
Kitting & assembly of product add-ons delivered directly to retail and grocery-retail central warehouses. Campaign periods spanning several weeks, short-notice special campaigns from the small add-on to FTL scale.
Process

Schedule back from the final receiving day.

Agree specific dates by recipient group, including shutdowns and receiving hours. Late changes enter an approved follow-up dispatch so the main volume can meet its date.

  1. 01

    Receiving deadline

    Confirm the final receiving day and shutdowns for each location.

  2. 02

    Dispatch deadline

    Deduct carrier transit time and buffer; plan parcels and freight separately.

  3. 03

    Goods receipt deadline

    Goods, packaging and inserts must be checked before the assembly slot.

  4. 04

    Data and approval deadline

    Approve address lists, variants and greeting cards. Follow up missing details separately.

  5. 05

    Follow-up

    Handle tracking and exceptions; inspect returns and release remaining stock for future use.

FAQ

The questions that come up before every year-end business.

By when do we need to request Christmas shipping at the latest?

The campaign line itself is set up quickly — the lead time is determined by procurement and finishing. Slots for the year-end business fill up early; the sooner the briefing is in place, the greater the leeway on assortment and timing. Our ongoing campaign business shows that short-notice special campaigns also work — though in that case material availability is the deciding factor.

Do you also deliver to private addresses, for example the home office?

Yes. B2B to sites and branches, B2C to private addresses, D2C from shop integrations — all three channels are standard. End-customer dispatch including delivery-status communication is our day-to-day business in the promotions segment.

What about glass, alcohol and bulky goods?

Glassware shipping, bulky goods like umbrellas and cooler boxes, handling of alcoholic beverages — all day-to-day business from the beverage portfolio. The warehouse has dedicated areas for glass, bulky and hazardous goods.

Who appears as the sender on the package as far as the recipient is concerned?

Your brand. From the packaging to the exception-handling correspondence, we act in the customer's name; on request, we also help design the campaign packaging. PROWERB stays in the background.

How individual can the packages be?

From a uniform gift box to sets per recipient group. Kitting & assembly runs on bills of materials in our own inventory management system, we finish textiles on an order basis, and inserts such as greeting cards are kitted in as well.

What happens to leftover quantities after the campaign?

They are booked in and tracked in real time. Remaining stock is then available for follow-up campaigns or ongoing promotional-products dispatch — nothing disappears into a corner of the warehouse.
