Don't Overlook This Inexpensive Way to Promote Your Business


Even though we live in a digital age, we still have plenty of scenarios where we hand write information or sign a signature. 
Don't overlook the value of promotional pens as they are an inexpensive and practical way to promote your business.
Your budget for marketing may not be very much, and you need to stretch everything you can. There are other modes of marketing that cost quite a bit more and they don't give you the same return on the investment. 
For just a few cents each, you can enjoy the significant value of getting your message out there to a volume of people.
Quality Matters
If you are going to offer promotional pens to get information out there about your business, they need to be good quality. Don't buy pens that don't look nice or don't grip well. They should write smoothly and they should last a long time. 
When you have a great product like this, people are going to reach for it again and again. They will remember your business as they do.
You may be saying your promotional item isn't reaching only your niche market. That is true, but with them being so affordable, you can justify reaching the masses. Even if that person doesn't need what you offer, there is a good chance the next person who gets that pen in their hands will.
What should they Say?
Keep in mind your promotional pens need to share information. Even though you don't have a huge amount of space, make the most of it. They should include your business name, phone number, and website address. 
If you can get your logo on there and it looks great, then go for it. Sometimes, logos are too detailed to look decent when you scale them down that far.
Even if someone doesn't need your service or product right now, they will remember your business name when they do. 
They will be familiar with it and comfortable with it, even if they can't pinpoint why. It has to do with the subconscious and how our minds are able to file information.
Getting them Distributed
It isn't hard to get promotional pens distributed with ease. Give them out to friends, family, and people you work with. Give them at community events. 
When you so to the bank or other business, swap their items on the counter with a few of your promotional pens. It won't be long before others slip one into their purse.
Promotional pens are found all over the place, both locally and far away. People tend to write with them and leave them behind. At the next location, they may use one and put in their pocket or their purse. 
It is very similar to the way money is exchanged. A single bill can be found all over the place before it is finally done being in circulation.
Low Cost
Creating top quality promotional pens isn't expensive so your overhead is lower than you may have anticipated with this type of option.
 It is certainly less expensive than many of the alternatives. Plus, people need pens all the time so this isn't an item that is just going to sit in a drawer or be tossed out.
Typically, the more you buy the less you pay. The provider has to set up their machines to create the information on your product. It doesn't matter if you get 100 or 10,000 - the set up is the same for them. 
They often give deep discounts when you buy these items in bulk. Consider them a walking advertisement for your business.
