The Benefits of Low-Cost Branded Pens
One of the best ways to promote a business on a budget is to invest in low-cost promotional pens. It’s easier than you might think to purchase high-quality pens that feature your branding including your logo with Steel City.
Steel City offers a wide range of design options, and you can normally browse by categories like price and colour when you’re looking for these items on their websites. You can send us your own artwork to add your specific designs to your pens. And a dedicated account manager will work with you to review the design before your full order is created to ensure you’re happy with it.
We have a range of pens with express delivery if you need a quick order at short notice. This is ideal for scenarios where you might have been let down by another supplier, you need promotional goods for an event that’s coming up soon, or if you’re up against a deadline. A select few pens can even be delivered within two working days of you approving the proof.
Pens manufactured from composite plastic that look and feel like metal pens have become increasingly popular over the years, allowing companies to be more eco-friendly with their giveaways.
If you need to save even more money, you could consider investing in ballpens. These pens normally have a ribbed retractable mechanism and have been popular with companies from a wide range of industries for many years.
Steel City has a range of bens available, including stylus pens, ballpoint pens, pencils, highlighter pens, pencil sharpeners, and other useful stationery items.
Boost Your Carbon Footprint With Eco-Friendly Affordable Pens
It’s become increasingly important to promote your brand in an eco-friendly manner over recent years. Studies consistently show that customers are more likely to choose brands that are eco-minded over ones that are not. There are many options available to you when you need pens manufactured from recycled materials that will help you show off your green credentials.
Where Can I Use Promotional Pens?
Promotional pens can be distributed in various ways. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular methods for distributing promotional pens right now.
At Trade Fairs and Exhibitions
Promotional pens are ideal for handing out at events including trade fairs, exhibitions, and conferences. They make it easy for people to swap their contact details or make notes. Pens make great branded items because they are unlikely to be disposed of before they run out. These pens tend to have a great cost-to-impression ratio, and every time someone uses one of them they are reminded of your branding.
Marketing Mailouts
Pens that feature your branding are highly affordable as mailbox marketing campaigns. As they are so light and small, you can easily mail them out with your letters at a lower cost. The vast majority of people love receiving free things in the post, and as pens are consumable items, people tend to find them useful.
If you’ve been planning a direct mail campaign, sending out free pens can generate an exceptional response rate. Sending out pens is also very effective when you want to encourage people to fill out forms and provide you with essential details. A great way to reinforce the message you want to convey is to include a branded notepad or a set of bespoke Post-It notes in your mail-out.
Reach More Potential Customers With a Custom-Printed Pen
Another great reason for choosing custom-printed pens is that they are often passed around from one person to another. This means they can expose your brand to plenty of people. Add your company logo to a personalised pen to keep your business in the minds of many. There may even be enough space to add your contact details as well as your logo. Adding these details ensures people can easily get in contact with you or find out more about your brand on your website.
There are so many options available to you when you want to invest in bespoke promotional pens. These include pens with a fun, contemporary, or professional appearance. Designer pens for hotels and other high-end brands are available, as are single-colour budget pens and pens with various print options. You can also save a great deal of money when you buy in bulk.
