Online Advent Calendar from SIMBA DICKIE GROUP
The well-known and beloved online Advent calendar from the toy manufacturer based in Fürth, Germany, will be filled once again, with many attractive prizes from its range of toys for kids big and small. The selection this year includes, for the first time, fan packages with combined prizes featuring both remote-control cars from DICKIE TOYS and products and batteries from new partner VARTA. The Advent calendar will be available starting on December 1, 2015, at http://kalender.simbatoys.de/.
Two Perfect Partners
SIMBA DICKIE GROUP comprises several toy companies and popular brands such as Schuco, Eichhorn, Majorette, BIG (manufacturer of the Bobby Car), Smoby Toys (the largest French toy manufacturer), Simba Toys and DICKIE TOYS. The latter brands are primarily known for remote-control toys – from police cars to cranes, diggers, tractors, and even airplanes. As Germany’s largest brand manufacturer of portable batteries, VARTA’s High Energy line of batteries offers the perfect energy source for battery-powered toys.
The High Energy line is the part of VARTA Consumer’s range that was developed specifically for use in devices with high energy consumption. And that’s what makes VARTA batteries perfect for toys that crave a lot of energy. “Two traditional German companies with a focus on quality and energy – fits like a glove,” says Michael Bodfeld, Director International Marketing Consumer Batteries Europe, Marketing Batteries. “We are really looking forward to the partnership with DICKIE TOYS."
Felix Stork, Corporate Marketing Director of SIMBA DICKIE GROUP, is also happy to collaborating with the new partner. “The Advent calendars are our first joint project, but we see plenty of opportunities to expand our partnership. And to top it off, the communication and mutual networking via social media is a perfect win-win situation.”
