subject: Using Pens For Business Promotion Is Simple [print this page] Asking for a pen happens thousands of times a day in the business realm. Needing to make notes, fill out reports, or needing a signature for services and goods rendered opens the door to having your business advertised pens used by some very influential people in business. Pens are a very useful and vital business tool. Using them to your business advertising advantage will help take your business to the next level. Almost everyone will take a promotional pen because of its usefulness.
While many companies have the idea that if they put their logo on any little thing it will get them exposure, sometimes this is a waste of money. Business cards and other small things that do nothing more than hold a label will get lost or tossed and then they are gone. Because a pen gets used it will be kept. Even if it gets dropped somewhere or left behind it will still be used and still advertise for your business.
Look around any computer work station or in any customer service office. The one common item in all of these areas is a writing pen. Most people in a work environment; be it at home or the office will generally have a pen within arms length no matter where they are. Lots of people even carry pens in a leisure environment. This makes their advertising value even more important.
Buying office supplies for your company is already part of your operating budget. Buying pens with the company information printed on them will make your budget achieve two goals; getting something you will have to buy and use daily and promote your company. These pens can be bought for about the price you would pay at a office supply store with some other business advertised on them.
Pens are mighty and versatile. They get you business exposure no matter who uses them. If you are donating something to a charity or to a school then including a box of company pens is a good idea. A bunch of pens that are given out at some charity event will end up getting you business exposure all over the place. There is just no telling how far this will go. For the cost they do make an excellent business investment.
