Inexpensive, yet effective, pens are an affordable way to get your name out to the masses. You can use them during marketing events, as customer giveaways, and even in marketing mailouts.

 

Why Promotional Pens are so Popular

How often have you used a pen with a company name or logo on it? Many times, I am sure! Customized pens are hands down one of the most affordable promotional products you can buy, and they fit into any marketing plan and budget.

 

Everyone uses Pens – It’s a great way to remind them of your brand

Extremely affordable and effective at boosting sales, pens are used by everyone, every day – at work, at home, and on the go. Most people keep them at their desks at work and home, as well as in pockets, purses, briefcases, and even their car.

And think about how many pens are “lost” each day! Every time someone loses your pen, someone else finds it, extending your reach even further.

 

Tradeshow Favorites

Pens are an easy way to keep your name in front of current and prospective customers alike. A favorite for tradeshows and conferences, putting your name on a pen gives you so many opportunities to gain new clients. You can add your company logo for instant recognition, or add a phone number so the user can easily call and make an appointment, or place an order.

Another idea is to fill containers with your custom pens, and place them on tradeshow tables, at a receptionist desk, and in conference rooms. That way visitors can grab one on their way out, or take notes about your company while in a meeting.

 

Affordability

Pens are ideal for any promotion or event, with prices starting below 20¢ when you buy them in bulk! At that price, given the reach they provide, you can’t afford to not buy them to promote your company. The exposure it gives your company will pay for them over and over again.
