Give Promotional Engraved Pens to your Colleagues and Employees this Christmas

October 6th, 2009

Christmas is a time to show appreciation for all those hardworking people who toil throughout the year promoting and supporting your company. Many companies will organise an event such as a company dinner or an office party. It would also be much appreciated to be given a gift on such an occasion to carry the feel-good factor through into the next year.

A quality engraved metal pen would fit the bill perfectly here, and prove to be popular year after year. There are many suitable promotional pens to choose from, but to select the right one for you there are several things to consider:

Quality
Although we would all appreciate receiving an expensive Cross or a Waterman pen, you may wish to reserve such prestigious pens for those particularly valued and high-flying individuals who singularly make a difference to your company. There are many quality generic metal pens available which would be highly acceptable gifts, with a smaller price tag. You need to send out the message that you appreciate your workforce with a decent quality pen. A value range pen is just not going to do the job here!

Samples
If you are unsure about your choice, ask for samples of your chosen pens, so you can test them and feel whether they are the right ones for your needs. Just allow yourself enough time to order samples, test them out, and then place your main order so that you will receive your promotional merchandise in good time for distribution.

Presentation
The way your Christmas gifts are presented can make a huge difference to the apparent quality and value of the item. If your chosen pen doesn’t come with a gift box included, it could be worth spending a few pence more at this point to order these as well to add perceived value to a mid price pen. It might also be worth considering a slightly more expensive pen if it comes complete with an attractive gift box.

Engraving/Printing
As your pen is first and foremost a Christmas gift, it is a good idea to make any branding discreet. To make it an overtly promotional item will devalue your chosen pen’s status as a valuable and considered Christmas gift. If your pen is attractive and a pleasure to use, the feel-good factor created towards your company will reap rewards with increased loyalty and commitment to the company. This is exactly what you are working towards, and should show increased productivity – great return on your investment!

Merry Christmas …and a prosperous New Year!

Promotional Pencils, Erasers and Pencil Sharpeners – Put Together Your Own Bespoke Package and Make Your Mark

August 12th, 2009

Pencils, pencil sharpeners and erasers go together hand-in-hand. If you are planning to commission some promotional pencils for your next campaign, why not consider putting together a thoughtful package including a promotional pencil sharpener and promotional eraser? This triples the advertising and promotional opportunities for a relatively small cost, and will create a much bigger impact in the minds of your target audience. You could choose colours to compliment each other, or go for clashing colours to make a real splash. Perhaps imprint each item with a different message, or repeat the same information to make sure it hits home. These may be small promotional gifts on their own, which would be perfectly acceptable, but together they represent a great bit of promotional merchandise and offer great value for money.

Lots of people love writing with pencils, erasers are always popular (some people even have collections!) and who doesn’t get a weird satisfaction from sharpening pencils? Have your bespoke collection imprinted with your logo and company/event details and the result is a very cost-effective package with which to make your mark. Your customers will love them and remember your promotional gift. They’ll keep coming back for more!

Promotional Pencils – Not Boring!

August 5th, 2009

What could be more common and mundane than the ubiquitous pencil? There must be thousands lying around homes and offices, unloved and perhaps unused, but kept all the same. Pencils have memories of childhood at home, used to while away long happy hours doodling and drawing, or maybe less pleasant times spent laboriously writing stories and essays to be judged and criticised. Pencils can become part of a collection brought together from different trips away and printed with the name of the place where they were found, and kept as a memento of places visited and people met along the way.

Pencils are not all the same! What pencil shape do you prefer; hexagonal, round or triangular? Do you prefer your lead soft or hard? Some arrive pristine with unsharpened tips, daring you to use them or leave them untouched. Others are raring to go with a ready-sharpened lead, with or without an attached eraser to delete all those glaring mistake; take a chance and go without! Wood or plastic, ‘green’ or not, rainbow coloured, neon bright or plain painted gloss, long, short or in sets, coloured lead or grey?

So many people love to write with a pencil, given the choice. When you write or draw with a pencil you experience a more physical meeting of mark-making instrument and paper, you can hear the lead on the sheet, and it can affect the way you form your letters, changing your handwriting in the process.

So when you are considering your next promotional gift, please don’t overlook the humble promotional pencil. There is such an engaging experience ascribed to using a pencil that you will find your promotional gift will be highly acceptable, be it small and very low-cost. Among all the promotional pens that can be found in abundance, a well-chosen promotional pencil will be probably the most cost-effective promotional gift you could choose. You can afford to spread the pencil experience and your marketing messages far and wide and make your mark on your lucky contacts.

Make Your Mark with Promotional Marker Pens

July 24th, 2009

Marker Pens are another very useful promotional item brought to you by Promo Pens. They offer an unusual alternative promotional gift to the omnipresent promotional roller ball or ball bens. As they are permanent marker pens, they also serve a slightly different purpose, which means they will be used when just any old pen won’t do. Ordinary pens won’t really write on anything other than paper, and there are so many situations where a permanent marker is a necessary item.

Permanent markers can write on many different surfaces such as glass, plastic, foil, metal, wood and photographs for example. This means they are just the job for marking and personalising all sorts of items around the home and office. Promotional marker pens can be used to write on electrical goods, freezer contents, lunch boxes, bags, golf balls, luggage and a whole myriad of personal items to aid identification and security. The Sharpie Mini Permanent Marker even comes with a useful clip attached to the cap. This means it can be easily attached to backpacks, golf bags and key chains, or used with a lanyard, thus ensuring your promotional marker pen is always handy when needed.

Our Sharpie Marker Pens are available with a choice of coloured caps to compliment or contrast with your corporate colours and artwork. These useful marker pens are a quality promotional gift which will be much appreciated and used by your target audience. Make sure you have them attractively imprinted with your logo and contact details to ensure your customers can easily get in touch with you when they need to access your goods and services.
