Pens are small & fairly inexpensive. In respect to using them as gifts, they are well utilised. They don’t get disposed of until they have been fully used. Depending on usage, they usually have a life span of one or two months.. Because of this versatility they are a perfect gift.
Nowadays, black ballpoint pens are the most popular ink color; many pen manufacturers would attest to that. When you are looking for advertising exposure the black ballpoint pen cannot easily be beaten for dollar for dollar advertising and market exposure value. They keep you front of mind with your clients every day when you add your branding or unique company features the pen.
Black ballpens are the most preferred amongst sales people and office workers but blue is next in line in popularity. Odd & interesting colors such as pink or orange can also be used, but are of little usability. They’re best for children’s wear businesses or party-hire companies. After all, practicality is the issue, so a gift pen with black or blue ink is your best bet.
Imagination is your only limit when it comes to the exterior appearance of a pen. As long as the pen is still usable practically as a pen, you would still achieve your exposure goals regardless of its appearance.
For the body of the pen you should first focus on the company information you want to add and then consider the design of the body next. If you do not do this, you may end up with a great physical design that has no room for the info you want to add. This would defeat your advertising purpose completely.
Quality looking pens will be preferred by more people than cheap looking ones, so do not go too cheap when it comes to the body of the pen. Also do not use the cheapest pen interior. We all have had the experience of trying to write with a pen that does not work and throwing it away in frustration. If a person gets this experience from your pens, they can associate the bad experience easily with your company. They will end with a bad impression of your brand.
Good suppliers of corporate gifts should be able to not only purchase the pens you want in the volumes you need, but also be able to consult you on some of the pen body design and quality aspects that we have covered.
