My top three executive pens that I have chosen are all made from Aluminium and are new additions to our range for 2010. They are all able to be either engraved or printed to your requirements.

In third place I would suggest Stratus Ball Pens. These are stylish anodised aluminium pens available with an attractive blue or satin silver finish. It’s a modern promotional pen, with two print positions available across the barrel, offering an extremely generous print area.

In close second I would place Torpedo Ball Pens. This is a retractable ballpen with chrome trim and smooth black rubber grip, ergonomically designed to ensure a comfortable writing experience.

My number one suggestion are Electra Ball Pens. It’s an attractive aluminium pen with anodised finish and chrome trim. The unique positioning of the rings also means that that we offer a much larger print area than standard. The Electra is also available in four stunning colour options, my favourite being the Electric Blue. It’s a reasonably priced executive metal pen which looks extremely elegant and modern.

Unlike brand name printed pens, these three do not come with a gift box as standard, though clear presentation tubes and gift boxes are available, just ask a member of our team for more details. I recommend looking into this option because gift boxes will give these low cost printed pens an additional touch of luxury to belie their cost even further.

If you are still unsure of which executive metal personalised pens to go for, why not contact one of our customer service team who will be more than happy to talk you through available options.

Seasonal marketing is high up on most companies agendas as a valued opportunity to reach their target audience in new and exciting ways. An obvious and well-known example of this is Christmas, the climax of the promotional items season and a time that almost every company can use to it’s advantage. Another rapidly increasing seasonal event is Halloween. October 31st is a date that has always been familiar to us but not always a major priority. This holiday used to be seen as a mainly American celebration, with the amount of promotional Halloween items growing to staggering proportions and just like Christmas, capturing the attention of both adults and children.

Halloween has been growing steadily in the UK over the past 10 years or so. As a parent, I have been very aware of the increased growth rate of promotional Halloween goods, Halloween Pens, Halloween parties and of course, the obligatory Halloween costume. Mail shots are now packed with the familiar hues of autumn and pumpkins are available wherever you look, in fact it’s pretty hard to miss the impact Halloween has nowadays!

Here, at the Pen Warehouse, we believe your business can run a successful and cost-effective Halloween marketing campaign for this popular seasonal event and would like to offer a few tips on making the most of this spooky opportunity! Like many seasonal celebrations, Halloween relies primarily on a strong sense of colour and reflects natures shades of Autumn as it’s major theme. Orange is of course the forerunner here but is enhanced when partnered with a strong black or lime green to give added contrast. Purple and red are also popular choices and bring out the darker side of life very nicely indeed, especially when complemented with an attractive chrome trim! 

Of course, black and white, the basics of life, are an ideal starting point too. With your printed halloween pens providing the colour you choose, from a single black print, to a full colour photographic print, you are able to produce personalised halloween pens that match your needs to perfection. 

Halloween pens are a fun and imaginative way to reach your end users and bring a touch of light hearted relief to the pressures of a usually slightly somber business world. So why not take a look at some of our colourful promotional pens on our website today and embrace the dark side!

Promotional pens are a cost effective communication support tool, ideally suited to trade shows, exhibitions and seminars. As an exhibitor at a trade show, nothing can supersede the benefit of talking to customers about your product or service. However, consider how many other exhibitors that same customer will also talk on the day. It’s absolutely critical that your customer remembers your message, so why not seal your conversation by using printed pens to act as a reminder?

When selecting personalised pens for your next trade show consider the subliminal messaging delivered by the pens – promotional pens communicate more about your business than the contact details printed on the barrel or clip. One of the key factors, critical to the success of marketing campaigns is a businesses ability to be relevant to their market, what do your customers perceive as relevant and significant today – most importantly how do you incorporate this into your promotional campaign? For example, a significant proportion of large corporates have undergone a degree of ‘Green Washing’ over the last five years, they have recognised Eco-credentials as a relevant factor for their markets.

Promotional pens provide a medium through which to convey your relevance within your operating market. Using Eco friendly or recycled pens is a fantastic tool to reinforce your corporate message to your customers. Envirostick Recycled Ball Pens are a refreshingly innovative addition to the promotions industry. 100% of the plastic components are made from recycled material, even the refill is recycled – a world’s first. However, the most interesting eco credential of these pens is centred on the material used to make the trim and refill. Ecoallene is an innovative new material made from the recycling of post consumer Tetra Pak cartons. Ecoallene is created by combining two of the waste materials of Tetra Pak cartons; aluminium and polyethylene. Under a complex process the two materials are combined to form a plastic granule, from which we have made a range of promotional pens.
