Learn Why Promotional Pens Are The Best Selling Corporate Gifts For 2010

Promotional pens are the most popular of all corporate gifts and probably always will be. They enjoy a massive price spread with cheap printed plastic pens available for a few pence all the way up to highly sought after laser engraved metal pens for hundreds of pounds and more. Once upon a time nearly all promotional pens were only available in very staid colours. But advances in plastic materials and moulding processes have changed things considerably. It’s now possible to get every colour under the rainbow and you can also mix and match from a considerable variety of clips,barrels and tops. These advancements have bought about a resurgence in the recognition of the promotional pen and reconfirmed its place as the world’s best selling piece of promotional merchandise.

Cheap Promotional Plastic Pens

These fantastic promotional products are given away in their millions all over the world 24/7. The simple reason for their level of popularity is that everyone uses a pen many times times a week. So if you are fortunate to get one for for free then it saves you money. The fact that the company logo or sales message from the organisation that gave it to you is imprinted on the clip or barrel is probably inconsequential to you. But it will probably create brand awareness even if it’s just a cheap plastic pen.

Promotional Metal Pens

Metal pens will always be considered as more desirable pen with regard to promotional gifts. They both look and feel more substantial than cheap plastic pens and when etched rather than printed they look even better. There used to be a time when the various components of these pens were only available in a flat matt finish but that’s not the case now. It’s now possible buy metal pens with all sorts of finishes and that includes grooves, indentations and even holes.

Corporate pens

Mont Blanc pens are accepted as being the most expensive and exclusive metal pens across the globe. The white cap which represents the peak of Mont Blanc, which is the highest mountain in the Alps is well known to everyone who knows anything about pens. However there are a number of other brands which whilst not being so exclusive still outsell Mont Blanc pens many times over. Bic promotional pens are a good example of a very well known brand. Parker Pens make one of the very best selling pens ever the Parker Vector Rollerball, most of us have had one at least once. Other brands for example Cross pens and Balmain are also very well known and have lots of potential as promotional products.

Promotional Pens UK

It could perhaps seem a little strange to think of promotional pens UK when almost definitely the vast majority of pens are made in China. However there are a lot of plastic pen manufacturers in the United Kingdom who have made a serious impact in this marketplace. The main factor in this area is the need to decrease our Carbon footprint and by manufacturing domestically we reduce emissions considerably. Consequently many purchasers of business gifts now demand that the bulk of of the promotional items they purchase must originate from the local market.

Unlike promotional clothing such as printed T-shirts or embroidered polo shirts promotional printed pens will hang around in drawers, glove compartments, pockets and handbags. They also work extremely well in unison with other corporate merchandise such as leather conference folders or perhaps promotional paper products such as note books or memo pads. And most importantly most businesses or organisations can afford to give lots of them out as promotional gifts because they are so cheap. So please, next time you are having an event to advertise a product please consider using a promotional pen. It’s worth rembering that in the world of promotional products they are the number one most popular item of all time.
