This colourful Chinese New Year money box is one such example.”Positioned alongside the message ‘Fortune Favours Those Who Save This Chinese New Year’, the origami and ‘how to make’ instructions will be part of the Bank’s mainline newspaper advertisement during the festive season.

With this ad, readers can also do a little bit for the environment by using it as a money box. As an additional aspect, for the very family-focused Chinese New Year season, we hope that cutting out and making money box from this ad can also be a fun, family activity.”Prior to this, BSN’s festive savings series included a collection of wrapping paper page ads for Christmas 2014.
