Promotions & Branding

The Popularity of Promotional Pens and Why they Work

Custom pens have long been a favorite for promotional products. From new companies to multi-million dollar corporations, businesses of every size use pens to promote their brand. 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

You might wonder how something so small could possibly be so popular. The answer is pretty You might wonder how something so small could be so popular. The answer is pretty straightforward – they’re cheap, effective, and offer endless possibilities!

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.

Tradeshows and Events

Custom Hand Sanitizer – a Necessity for Corporate Events and Tradeshows

Large-Scale Events – a Breeding Ground for Disease

No one likes to think about germs and bacteria, but the reality is you pick them up everywhere – work, home, restaurants, shops, and anywhere else you may go. And not just during pandemic events! Each time you open a door, push an elevator button, use the company copier, or pour yourself a cup of coffee (at home and the office), you pick up whatever germs the person before you left behind.

So, just think about what happens during tradeshows, promotional events, and other large events that attract a large number of people! You are constantly shaking hands, exchanging business cards, and sharing pens and literature with hundreds of people throughout the day. Not to mention the number of surfaces you touch that have already been touched by countless others!

Pump Bottle Gel Hand Sanitizer for your Trade Table

At a minimum, when sponsoring an event or booth at a tradeshow, you should keep a large pump bottle of custom hand sanitizer at your table so you can refresh your hands periodically, and offer the same to those visiting your booth. Employees can use it often after shaking hands with guests or sharing objects such as business cards. Guests can use it before they move on to the next vendor, helping to thwart the spread of possible viruses before it starts. It only takes one person with the flu or a virus to pass along their illness to countless numbers of people during large-scale events!

Individual Gift Hand Sanitizer Bottles

You could even go one step further by offering visitors a small bottle of hand sanitizer to take with them. Set up a large fishbowl or another container, fill it with individually sized bottles of custom hand sanitizer featuring your company logo, and let attendees grab one when they come to your table. Not only will they be reminded of your company each time they use it, but others around them will notice your logo as they use it, prompting them to visit your table for their own bottle. This gives you a chance to present your business or products to more people, to gain additional customers.

Hand sanitizer really is a necessity during tradeshows. It benefits you, your employees, and attendees by helping keep everyone’s hands fresh and germ-free during the event, to prevent the spreading of viruses and germs from one person to the next. You don’t know where other people’s hands have been or what they have touched before they get to your booth.

The Benefits of Gifting Promotional Sanitizer

Using custom hand sanitizer to promote your business, allows you to promote your brand in a useful and practical way. Everyone comes prepared with promotional products to pass along to guests in the hopes they will remember their brand after the event is over. A health product like hands sanitizer shows people that you care about their health, and were thoughtful when selecting a promotional gift. You didn’t just throw your name on some one-use gimmick that most likely will end up in the nearest trash bin and won’t even make it out the doors of the event, let alone be seen again as a reminder.

At the Custom Hand Sanitizer Store, we offer a great selection of personalized promotional products to fit every need. From credit card-sized hand sanitizers to gels, pumps, and wipes, we offer a varied selection at low prices made to fit any budget. Head on over to our store and place an order for your next event!
