The Complete Guide to Custom Pens
Pens are the top promotional item for good reason! With thousands of branded pens to choose from, we're here to help you customize the perfect one for your promotional needs.
Why Buy Custom Pens?
Simply put, custom pens offer incredible utility while allowing flexibility in cost. Everyone has a regular need for pens which is why people hold onto them. This keeps your brand message in the hands of current and potential customers. Think about purchasing personalized pens as an investment, not a marketing expense. According to an ASI study, the average promotional pen generates 3,100 brand impressions! Depending on the price point of the pen purchased, this is one of the best returns on investment (ROI) in the promotional industry. U.S. consumers own a wide variety of promo products, and some categories remain especially popular. For example, nearly nine in 10 consumers report owning logo pens, which puts pens just ahead of branded drinkware as the top promo item.
Popular Uses of Custom Pens
The first step in buying branded pens is to consider who the pen is intended for. If the pens are for college students, try to go for a lower cost pen that will provide utility when needed. For professional audiences that deal with contracts and paperwork copies, consider a blue ink pen as this will differentiate originals versus scanned copies. Financial institutions and legal facilities are two great examples for this. Another great place to give away promotional pens is at trade shows. Simply hand out your business card with your custom pen and watch the leads roll in! That way you can start marketing your company in new locations and to new audiences. As you can see, advertising your business with promo products is your best bet for making an impact on clientele!
