FotoFinish Ball Pens

Over the years it has come to light that promotional gifts are an important part of the marketing mix for all companies, both big and small. Getting the most from your marketing budget using promotional merchandise will often depend on, the demographic of your customers and the method of distribution you are thinking of using. If you are going to be sending promotional items out in the post then you have to be conscious of size and weight, as you don’t want to double your costs because of the postage.

For many companies, whether the available budget is large or small, promotional pens are a popular choice. They are affordable, small enough to be easily distributed and always well accepted. Larger promotional items which are well liked, such as bags, also offer great opportunities for marketing, but require larger storage space and perhaps a different method of distribution. Storage and distribution costs may be saved by carefully choosing your promotional items with these factors in mind.

One of the best ways of making sure you get the quality promotional products you require at the best price is to ensure you plan far enough ahead to allow for the lead times involved. Times quoted are from approval of artwork, so having your artwork complete and ready to go is fundamental in the ordering process. Most of our pens and pencils will be turned round within 10-15 working days, but of course this can vary according to stock availability and the print method used. We also offer a huge range of our pens and pencils on express services, just ask us for more details if you have a tight deadline you need to hit.

When time is short there may usually be a restricted selection of product available to you, but here at The Pen Warehouse, we offer a comprehensive range of products to fit everyone’s needs. If you do find that you have to act on the last minute, get in touch with one of our knowledgeable customer service team. They will be able to inform you if there are any particular offers on personalised pens you may benefit from and offer alternative suggestions or close matches which can be delivered within your specified time frame.

Another point to bear in mind if you need to save on your print budget is to consider the method of printing used and whether you can restrict the number of colours used in your artwork. Often the most cost effective printing method is by screen, although this will not be suitable for all products. The fewer colours you require, the fewer individual screens will be needed, so the set-up costs will be reduced accordingly. However we have the ability to print full colour on a great range of pens.

FotoFinish Ball Pens are new, exciting, retractable ball pens, with the ability to support 360 degree transfer printing. This great range of printed pens come in a choice six popular trim colours, all with white push buttons. Using our full colour printing process to the entire surface of these pens ensures your company message can be displayed in a way that suits your company. These pens are also extremely competitively priced, so ask for more details. You never know, these pens might be perfect for your nest promotion.

Everyone wants to make the most of their marketing budget, so using it wisely to make the best investment to build the brand and bring in new customers is key. Using our knowledge and expertise, we can help you choose the best promotional products based on your brief and support your mission to make the most of your marketing opportunities.

Pen Warehouse Video Blog #2

Welcome to our second video blog, if this is your first time joining us then let me introduce myself; my name is Rob Hayes and I head up the marketing team here at The Pen Warehouse. I will be bringing you regular video blogs on the latest news from our business as well as updates on new products and services we are constantly developing for you, our network of loyal distributors.

In our first video blog I talked about the benefits of our recently redeveloped website www.pens.co.uk; we looked at the distributor’s blog section, the process we use in the allocation of leads to distributors and the options available to leave links to your website.

If you didn’t catch our first video blog then please feel free to view this on our website, it is located in the video blog category, under the latest news section on the right hand side of the home page.
Today, I am going to talk about the promotional pen product videos that we have spent the last year producing in order to provide you, our customers, with a unique value adding tool for your website.

Product videos offer the consumer an insight into a product and it’s attributes in a way that simply isn’t possible with a static image.

Video content offers a 360 degree view of the product and allows the viewer to understand how artwork will look when wrapped around the barrel of the pen, again, something isn’t possible with an static image on a website.

It is also important to consider the impact product videos will have on the way search engines value your website.

Firstly, by using product videos you are giving visitors to your site a reason to stay on your site for longer, your customers are more likely to sit and watch a 2 to 3 minute product video than they are to read 2 to 3 minutes of text about the same product.

Secondly, the emphasis search engines place on video content has increased recently – video content is now appearing in the natural listings. Check this out for yourself by searching for ”

We have currently produced around 80 product videos and we will continue to produce at least one per week for the foreseeable future.

Pens are the perfect promotional item suitable for any company. No matter the nature of your business, using Promotional Pens can raise your company’s profile and generate new business. There are several reasons these unique writing tools work well. One reason is cost. Personalised Pens are inexpensive to produce and so for a few pence your business can place a product into the hands of present or prospective clients that will allow them to gain more information about your company or contact you if they need the products or services you provide.

Another reason promotional pens make good promotional items is because the people that receive them are able to use them on a daily basis. They are an item most people can never have enough of and tend to share with friends and relatives. Co-workers often borrow them as well and always remember a nice pen. For the company that invests in them, they act as miniature billboards – the more people that see them the better.

Portability is yet another reason Printed Pens make great marketing tools for your company. Their portability helps in two ways- firstly, the person who receives them they can easily stick one or two of them into their pocket or folder and use them or share them with friends and family. Marketing agents can benefit from them being portable as well because it is easy for them to put a case or two into their vehicle and have enough to give to hundreds of contacts at a time as they aren’t bulky.

Low cost, utility, portability and visibility are important in a mass marketing giveaway product. When it comes to promotions few marketing items are as effective as promotional pens.

Corvette Frost Ball Pens are just one of the pens we offer here at The Pen Warehouse that fits the bill perfectly here. They are low cost, high quality, offer a great print area and have a great colour range- what more could you want from a promotional pen to advertise your company!
