A revolutionary new system for promotional pens

Marketers searching for a unique promotional gift to maximise branding opportunities using photographic quality images, now have the perfect pen with the introduction of the System Ballpen range designed by specialists at The Pen Warehouse.

Following investment of £800,000 in new technology, The Pen Warehouse has designed the industry’s most comprehensive range of pens with a ‘system’ of interchangeable components to offer distributors an almost limitless number of style options and no minimum order quantities when placing orders through www.no-minimum.co.uk.

The System Ballpen range offers pens with near photographic quality print 360° around the barrel at very competitive prices. Mix and match colour options at no extra cost and express service options as low as 24hours further enhance the appeal of this range.

The System Ballpen range is based on three core models all boasting a full colour digital wrap: a plastic pen with at an incredible value-for-money price point, a plastic pen with a stylus for technology conscious organisations and a metal version, which is the only metal pen with full colour digital wrap currently available on the market and which is ideal as an executive pen.

To enhance the System Ballpen further, the design registered range offers a variety of mix and match clips and tops on plastic, metal and stylus models.  A new image library also allows non-corporate clients to combine images, text and background to produce professional artwork FREE OF CHARGE when orders are placed on-line at www.no-minimum.co.uk. Thousands of royalty images, searchable by industry type, allow customers to create their own corporate style or augment their current brand identity.

The library also includes a huge variety of symbols and icons which are ideal for use on LogoClips – an optional extra available with any pen in the System Pen range.  This range of clips includes popular shapes such as awareness ribbons which are perfect for charities and a chef’s hat which would create an ideal marketing tool for restaurants.

Go for gold with the Sterling Classic pen

For the ultimate executive pen or commemorative gift, the Sterling Classic is considered the gold standard.

The Sterling Classic can now be ordered in quantities as low as one piece when ordering through www.no-minimum.co.uk, which means that this classic pen can be personalised cost-effectively and used to recognise long service or as an award for achievement.

Using the latest technology and top quality materials combined with old world craftsmanship, the Sterling Classic is an exquisite business gift.

The Sterling Classic is a hallmarked solid silver pen with a 22-carat gold plated trim. It is available as a Capped Rollerball or as a Capped Fountain Pen and is suitable for engraving.

It is supplied with a document quality black ink refill and the set can be enhanced with an executive presentation case.

Nick Clewlow, Sales Manager at No-Minimum says: “The Sterling Classic is a class apart from other luxury brands because it’s crafted from silver and gold base metals.

No-Minimum now means no origination for promotional products

After reviewing feedback from business gift houses, No-Minimum is completely removing set up charges to give distributors and their customers heavily discounted prices and a far simpler pricing structure, from Wednesday 5 November.

No-Minimum has lowered set up costs and incorporated the reduced charge into the unit price. The new price model allows distributors to compete directly with e-retailers such as Vistaprint with commercially viable prices.

No-Minimum has invested significant sums to bring promotional products with no minimum order quantities to the trade and recently introduced a FREE off-the-shelf, end-user friendly website to enable distributors to sell small order personalised products and gifts online to consumers and small businesses.

Each No-Minimum website owner can easily customise their bespoke e-commerce site with their logo and corporate colours as well as post custom content onto the site. The bespoke ecommerce sites do not require a merchant bank account or a payment services provider. The simplified payment system also  means that distributors will never need to pay an invoice for the orders from their no-minimum website.

As potential customers such as self-employed tradesmen, small businesses and consumers won’t have access to expensive software tools such as Adobe Illustrator, No-Minimum has developed another ground-breaking feature – an extensive library of thousands of stock images which can be used to build a corporate identity or incorporated into a personal design.

Setting up a trade account is free, quick and easy at  https://retail.no-minimum.co.uk/account-request-form/  More information about how the bespoke sites work can be found at www.no-minimum.co.uk/bespoke.

Marketers seeking a promotional pen with a sophisticated look but without a premium price now have a striking new line available.

The Pen Warehouse has introduced a new version of the popular Contour Ballpen, in a refined solid black colourway which is offset by a contrasting gold trim.

The Contour Night Oro Ballpen follows the styling of the other pens in the best-selling Contour range: the Ballpen, Extra, Argent, Colour and Frost and boasts the same large print area which has made its companions in the Contour range so popular.

It has been introduced following demand for a conservative, traditional model with appeal to the hotel industry.

The pen features a 35mm x 10mm print area which can be printed in up to six tailored spot colours to stand out from the solid black barrel and create an eye-catching promotional gift.  The Contour Night Oro Ballpen complements the existing Contour Night Ballpen which features a chrome trim.

The Contour Night Oro Ballpen is also available on an accelerated three-day express service to help meet those just in time deadlines.

Nick Clewlow, Sales Manager at The Pen Warehouse says: “Developed from our existing Contour range, the Contour Night Oro offers the same sculpted styling and quality feel but with a stunning new look.  It provides a stylish new option for businesses looking to present a high-end image at a midrange price.”

The Contour Night Oro Ballpen is supplied with a high capacity documental quality black ink refill, a popular choice for business clients.  It conforms to European safety standards and meets the stringent UK safety test BS7272 which means that it’s childsafe.
