Okay, now look again and count how many pens there are in your vicinity. Think about the last time you used a pen? Have you used one already today? Chances are, you have. Everyone uses pens - people use pens to take notes, sign checks, doodle, draw, write stories and briefs and more. People use pens everyday for many activities. You can see them on your desk - now imagine that those pens are transformed into promotional pens for businesses, perhaps you have some on your desk already. Think about promotional pens for a moment - youve seen them, we all have. You get them in the mail. You get them at trade shows and trade fairs. A fellow businessman handed you one last week. When you get a promotional pen, whats the first thing YOU do? Chances are you answered read it. Thats exactly what most people do when they get a pen that has writing on it - they read it to see what it says. Now, place your business name, contact number, logo and slogan on that promotional pen and place that pen in other peoples hands. Imagine handing them out at the next trade show you go to. Handing one to your client as he writes a check for your services. Having a bucket of them at your receptionists desk so that your clients can take one. Imagine sending them out to your clients with your monthly mailer. How many hands have your pens in them now? How many people are reading your promotional pen? Hundreds, even thousands of people. One pen can hit the hands of five people quite easily - thats five people that have read your advertisement out of sheer habit and all with one pen. Multiply that by a few hundred and you have thousands of potential new customers, all with promotional pens that are personalized with your corporate information. Personalized promotional pens are the write choice for your business. They fit into every business dynamic - could you run your business without a single pen in the office or store? No, you couldnt. No one can. Everyone needs a pen - why couldnt the pen they use be your pen, with your information on it?
