Why promotional pens?
Branded pens are the perfect promotional giveaway for marketing events and advertising campaigns! All our pens can be custom printed with your company logo and message!
Research carried out by the British Promotional Merchandise Association (BPMA) demonstrates that promotional pens remain the number one choice when it comes to increasing brand awareness and creating a lasting impression.
1. Branded pens for business - the ultimate practical brand ambassadors
There are many benefits to using custom pens and pencils to promote your business. A key one is their ability to travel far beyond the original recipient.
Company pens seem to disappear when you need one most. If you've noticed this, you'll appreciate pens have an ability to carry a message to new potential customers.
When someone asks for a pen, most people would provide one! The writer then simply walks off with it never to be seen again!. If you find business pens are flying off your desk then you should ensure they go with your logo on them!
2. The perfect cost-effective business marketing and advertising solution
Businesses monitor their marketing budgets on a regular in order to achieve the very best possible return on their investment.
This is where high-quality pens are the solution for many companies. They offer an amazing ability to reach a large audience in a cost-effective manner.
No other merchandising products get even close when it comes to the practicality, diverse range of styles and finishes, array of colour options and low prices!
3. Personalised pens - the write choice
With so many branded pens to choose from it can be difficult to choose. When considering which pens, they can be split into two categories, plastic and metal.
Plastic ballpoint pens are the cheapest option and the most popular marketing giveaways. They're the foundation of the promotional merchandise market with thousands of colours, styles and ink options.
Luxury engraved metal ballpens are used for those extra special occasions. These include corporate gifts for clients, celebrating a business anniversary or employee recognition.
