Promotional pens are one of the most popular and versatile types of merchandise used by companies to generate and retain business. They represent a large percentage of the promotional products market with businesses and organisations handing out literally thousands of pens every day.
Whether given out at conferences, trade shows or events, left lying around on counters or in reception areas for visitors to pick up, or used as part of a direct mail campaign, promotional pens are an easy way to spread the word. People use pens all the time, both at home and at work. Every time they pick the pen up, they will be subject to indirect advertising.
There are many different styles of low cost promotional pens to choose from, starting at under £1 each. Low prices, however, do not have to mean poor quality as most promotional pens are designed to last.
Brand image should not be overlooked when selecting promotional pens. The profile of the target market will have an influence on product choice as different kinds of pens will appeal to different sectors. The promotion should be in keeping with the brand’s image and convey the right message about the company.
Promotional pens offer good branding opportunities through overprinting, with a choice of locations including the barrel, clip or 360 degree wraparound. Another option is to have different parts of the pen produced in brand specific colours.
With their combination of functionality and popular appeal, promotional pens are a cost-effective way to deliver a message that lasts and lasts.
