You know you've owned a pen or two and had no idea where it came from. Such a cheap way to get your name around is giving out a
promotional pen. I can't tell you how many pens I've owned that I had no idea where they came from that had some sort of logo on them. Everything from golf resorts to a grocery store!
A
personalized pencil isn't as common but suits the same purpose. I just don't think they last as long or get floated around as easy. Usually when someone needs something to write with you hand over a pen. Most don't ask for a pencil. Of which from time to time you never get that pen back which leads to the logo getting spread around. Or if you've ever been to the bank and used their pen but accidentally slipped it into your checkbook instead of putting it back thinking it was yours well that's how that begins as well.
I even ordered before
pens you can customize once for my site and it was quite cute. However, I lean more toward business cards. How many business cards are in your wallet? I clean my purse out regularly to rid it of unnecessary items but my husband for instance if I were to pull out his wallet I guarantee you I'd find at least 20 business cards in there from work contacts, business's or other. It's a marketing tool that by no work of your own is spread like wild flowers. I don't think it's so much that they use the brand on the pen in their life for instance like booking a hotel from a number on the pen but more so an inexpensive way to get the name known and around. What are you thoughts?
