What makes Promotional Pens an all round favourite?

The elegant style, the attractive features, and the immense choices are among the few reasons that make printed pens the popular brand promotional items they are today. They are the most user-friendly gift items on the market as they can be used by all age ranges. They are useful to all categories of people, which is why they deliver the biggest return than any other promotional item.

Every promotional pen has its own USP that makes it stand out from the rest. While some might score high on the style factor, the other offer great traditional values, but it depends on what market you are trying to break into as to what pen you go for. Contour Pens have a rubber grip, which enhances the ease of writing as it helps to both reduce the pressure on your fingers while you maintain a firm hold on the pen.

Personalised pens are easily available to fit every category, from plastic pens to executive metal pens. Despite the comfort they offer, pens with rubber grips are available at extremely affordable prices so can fit every budget.

Our most popular printed pens are Contour ball pens. It’s an attractive push button ballpen, available with a translucent body, white body or silver body. The complete range comes with chrome trims and comfortable rubber grips to make writing that much more enjoyable. These personalised pens are available on a 3 day express service- another reason why they are one of the most popular pens available at the moment.

Torpedo Metal Ball Pens are new to our range this year, and are part of our executive metal pen range. They come with a stunning rubber grip that fits the elegant curves of the pen. It is an up and coming favourite, available in either silver or gold at extremely low prices.

Viper Frost Ball Pens are another favourite within the industry at the moment, as it offers a budget promotional pen, with comfortable rubber grip at extremely affordable prices. It’s also available in 10 vibrant colour options, making it suitable for all promotions and advertising campaigns.

Pens.co.uk has a huge range of promotional pens to choose from, so browse through and see if you can find one perfect for your campaign. If you need any assistance, please feel free to give us a ring or contact us via the contact us page. We look forward to hearing from you.

There is a wide variety of promotional pens on the market for you to choose from and this year, and it’s bigger than ever before. There is also a great range of prices designed to satisfy the budgets and needs of all companies and corporations wanting to use personalised pens. Choosing the right kind of personalised pens for your company can seriously affect the success of your marketing campaign, so it is essential that you give careful consideration to what you are hoping to achieve and who your target market is.

A selection of the more popular promotional products and items used are plastic pens, cheaper metal pens, such as anodised aluminium models, and highlighter pens. The products themselves are available in a vast array of colours meaning you can always find a pen to compliment your logo or marketing message. The message you decide to have imprinted on the body of the pen can be anything from an advertising slogan, your company’s name or logo, or in some cases, all three.

Imprinted promotional pens can be expensive, brand name products and are usually intended as gifts to senior managers or other influential customers and are mostly presented by major corporations. These pens are given out to people who are associated with the corporations and are sometimes personalised with the recipients’ names. A new pen set we have introduced this year to our range is the Sterling Classic Rollerball Pen and Sterling Classic Fountain Pen, offering one of the most exquisite promotional gifts available. They usually come in expensive gift boxes for that added touch of luxury.

Corporate Promotional Pens for your Business

Corporate events and meetings are a lucrative opportunity for your company where you are looking to generate more business. Promotional pens are the perfect promotional item for you to use every time.

Every individual couldn’t envisage a single day of their life without using pens even in this highly technological era where everything is communicated using computers.

Our range of promotional metal pens are suitable for every budget and can be customised with your own logo or corporate message by either printing or engraving on the pen, providing an impressive first impression of your company.

As laser engraved printed pens have their surface removed by the laser during the engraving process, the image becomes a permanent feature of the pen. This has significant benefits for the longevity of the personalised message compared to conventionally printed pens which is why Engraved Pens have a much longer life than the personalised pens.

Cyclone Metal Ball Pens are an innovative design and a new addition to our range for 2010. It’s a high quality metal ball pen with cap action and lacquered finish which can be engraved. It’s a modern ball pen which is a popular choice for young professionals.

Promotional Marker Pens- make a permanent impression on your clients

Marker Pens are another very useful promotional item available here at the Pen Warehouse. They offer an unusual alternative personalised promotional item to the promotional pens or pencils you see at all the exhibitions. As they are permanent marker pens, they also serve a slightly different purpose to typical personalised pens, which means they will be used when just any old pen won’t do. Ordinary personalised ball pens don’t write well on anything other than paper, and there are so many situations where a permanent marker is a necessary item that you wish you had but can never find.

Permanent markers have the ability to write on a huge range of surfaces such ranging from as plastic, metal and wood and depending on the company you are trying to advertise, this could be one of the most useful items you give out to your customers, with the ability of writing on all sorts of items around both the home and office, having collective appeal.

Printed Marker Pens can be used to write on electrical goods, golf items and a whole multitude of personal items to aid identification and security. The Permanent Marker Pro even comes with a useful clip attached to the cap. We also have a clear plastic wallet which can hold upto four Permanent Marker Pens, ensuring your promotional marker pens are always at hand.

Our Permanent Marker Pro Pens are available in a choice of four popular coloured caps which match the ink colour of the pen, and also to compliment your corporate logo. These useful permanent marker pens are long lasting, making them a great promotional gift which would be greatly appreciated and by both current and new clients.

Our Marker Pens are also available with a holder which accommodates four pens which is supplied with magnetic strips on the reverse.

Incentives for your Employees

Motivating your employees to hit their sales targets and maintain them is one of the most beneficial things you can do. Rewarding achievements is definitely a way in keeping morale high and making the rest of the team want to do well to reap the benefits also!

When an employee secures the most sales in a month, giving them a high quality executive printed pens in a presentation box is something they will treasure for years to come. They always remember the employer that valued their work and rewarded them for it.

When an employee goes above and beyond and puts ideas forward on how they could become a more efficient team when processing orders, going beyond what is being asked of them should always be encouraged as they know firsthand what’s best for that department. Rewarding them with personalised pens encourages productive ideas to be put forward which can always benefit your company and its development.

Morale is key to the success of a company. If your clients ring in and are always greeted by an upbeat voice at the end of the phone and optimism no matter what the circumstances  then your customers are going to be loyal and willing to work with you if there is ever a problem, because you make every buying experience a memorable one. Rewarding your staff when a client points out that a certain member of staff went above and beyond their call of duty with a personalised pen is definitely a way to maintain this high level of service and will encourage the rest of the team to follow suit.

Giving Promotional Pens to your Employees is a great benefit as it commemorates all their hard work they have put in to generate you profit. If you keep your employees happy then they will ultimately pass this on to your clients in the level of customer service they offer. Pens are definitely a way you can invest in your employees and reap the benefits.

Advertising your company and services successfully

Where do you start with your Marketing campaign? Should you focus on building your company’s image through your website or by direct mail, or even by e-shots to your database of clients? The return on investment on any advertising budget is often minimal, however, that isn’t the case if you invest in personalised pens! It doesn’t take much investment to generate a lot of orders!

If you purchased 500 printed pens, such as Harrier Extra Ball Pens and put your company name, logo, phone number and website on there and successfully handed all 500 out to 500 different people, that’s now 500 people who are now familiar with your brand and services available. What happened if they then lent their pen out to a colleague- they would also then be familiar with your brand. What if every single one of those 500 people went to your website to view all the products you offer- well that’s just boosted your website listings and now each person knows exactly what you offer!

Advertising through direct mail is too temporary unless every single letter is followed up with a courtesy call. Some mail doesn’t even get opened so you’d be lucky if your advertisement was even observed. Doing direct mail advertising campaigns are also very expensive when you add all the paper, envelopes and postage up. E-mails get deleted or often go straight into the spam box, never to be opened and might not attract a single person to visit your website or give you a ring, other than to tell you to stop sending them marketing material!

Pens however cannot be deleted or never seen. They aren’t chucked away as most letters are, as it’s useful. If you send out executive metal pens to all your clients, that’s both comfortable and easy to write with, it’s most likely to become the pen that’s used on a daily basis, reinforcing your company’s name and details time and time again. Promotional Metal Pens don’t have to be expensive, ours start from just £0.45 per unit, including a one colour print yet they still look stylish and belie their true cost very well.

Promotional Pens are definitely one of the most effective Marketing strategies for all businesses. If you would like some advice on our metal pen range, please contact us via the contact us page.
