Getting the Most Out of Your Promotional Pens

Sunday, November 28th, 2010
Promotional Parker Jotter Pens

Promotional Parker Jotter Pens are some of the most popular corporate pens in the UK.

Choosing cost effective promotional merchandise can be one of the greatest challenges for the business owner. It is important to search for promotional products that will attract new customers and keep those long time loyal customers loyal.

This task is made even more frustrating when you do not realise instant results. Often this has led small business owners and even a few larger businesses to slim down their marketing budgets.

This is not a good idea.

You see, when you use good quality promotional pens to promote your brand, you know that you are giving away gifts that will be used and will ultimately achieve excellent results over time.

Following are a few ways to use promotional pens and gift pens in your marketing that will get you the results you want.

Give Promotional Plastic Pens Around the Office

Whether you have a lot of staff or just a few, ensuring a good quantity of logo printed pens are scattered around the office is a good idea. This will help increase brand awareness with your employees and any visitors. It will also ensure no one needs to go looking for pens around the office.

Give Away Good Quality Plastic Pens at Special Events

Whether you are exhibiting at a trade show or doing a direct mailing campaign, ensure your good customers receive at least one quality plastic pen – more if you can. Quality is the key word here.

Remember that although cheap plastic pens may seem like a good idea at the time, over time they could do you more harm than good. They could even make your business look cheap.

Give Quality Metal Gift Pens to Top Clients

You should give all of your customers plastic promo pens but if you have a few top clients you really want to impress, nothing beats the name brands! Look into the selections supplied by Parker Pens, Lamy Pens, Cross Pens and Waterman.

Giving a name brand pen will show your customers how much you appreciate their business. These name brand pens can be used for many years.

If you are on a budget, check out the slightly less expensive range by Balmain. These gift pens write smoothly and look fantastic.

One Final Thought

Let’s say you purchase 50 Balmain gift pens at £7.50 each. This could look like a lot of money to the small business owner. At first it could be. But when you consider that business gifts that are needed often and are of good quality can be kept for years, they are an amazing value for money.

Let’s see… 25 pens at £7.50 each is £375.00. Over a year, you are paying less than a pound per day to advertise to your top 50 customers! Not bad if you ask me.

Good Quality and Useful Promotional Products Work Best for Increasing Your Turnover

Tuesday, November 9th, 2010

If you are hoping to impress your target customers at the next big conference or meeting, I recommend looking for top quality products that they will want to own and use. Products such as heavy duty promotional conference bags can send them home with a good feeling about you and your business.

We all purchase promotional merchandise for reasons such as saying thank you to a top client, rewarding employees for hitting sales targets or attracting that next big customer.

Promotional gifts can work very well to do all of these things.

But let’s look a little deeper. When you give a good quality business gift to a client to say thank you for their business, you are doing so to give them a good feeling about their decision to use your business.

When you give a top employee a nice gift for a job well done, it makes them feel special and encourages them to do even better.

When you hand out promotional giveaways at trade shows, you are saying ‘Look at me – I have something to say.’

All of these reasons for giving away promotional merchandise ultimately come down to our desire to build our businesses and make a profit. By increasing brand awareness and giving away incentives and thank you gifts often your business will grow and profits and turnover will increase. That is as long as you back the promotion up with excellent products and service.

So let’s assume that you have the products and services part down. You want to increase brand awareness and get people to use your products and services.

Back these products and services up with good quality promotional merchandise. If you cannot afford good quality promotional conference bags that your customers will want to own and use, look for something else. Perhaps a good quality Parker Pen or a less expensive but great quality Prodir plastic pen will keep you in their thoughts.

You need to look for the products that your customers will want have and will use regularly. If you clients are office bound, some good quality low cost stationery may do the trick. Print you logo and details on a quantity of note pads, promotional pens, rulers, pen pots and mouse mats.

If your customers work on the road, a nice umbrella, jacket or car breakdown kit could be just what they need.

Try to target your customers’ personas. Your customer base may have many different personas so taking these into account when you are looking for the best promotional merchandise to use is a good move.

Your customer personas are the most important part of your decision on what promotional products to use.

For examples, if you are trying to attract IT professional to your stand at an exhibition, you know that these people will regularly use mouse mats, USB flashdrives, promotional mugs and pens.

Consider your marketing budget and then decide which gifts to present them with. If you do not have the budget to give them a good quality mouse mat, don’t give them a budget flimsy mouse mat instead! They won’t use it. Would you?

Instead, offer them another good quality, useful product that is within your budget such as a mid-range smooth writing plastic pen.

Considering your clients’ needs and daily requirements and then backing these needs up with a solution will help ensure your details are to hand the next time they require your products and/or services.

The Promotional Senator Super Hit Pen is Put to My 3000 Word Challenge

Tuesday, September 21st, 2010
Senator Super Hit Pens

The many colours of the Senator Super Hit Pen - Writing Excellence!

After writing for weeks testing and reviewing top quality promotional gift pens I was not looking forward to today. Today was the day I had planned to test the world famous but budget plastic Senator Super Hit Pen.

Don’t get me wrong – I have always been a big fan of the Senator brand and the SuperHit is a pen I have used in my own marketing on numerous occasions. It was just that I have grown accustomed to using top quality metal gift pens by such popular makers as Lamy, Cross and Parker. In a way I was afraid I may not like the Super Hit as much as I used to.

The truth of the matter is, however, you cannot be disappointed with a Senator pen! The SuperHit is Senator’s biggest selling, most popular plastic promotional pen. It is popular because it offers a lot of print area for your logo and details and it writes very smoothly.

The promotional Senator SuperHit is a no nonsense pen that just keeps on writing. I still have a box of Senator Super Hit pens that I purchased over three years ago and they all write perfectly!

These pens do exactly what they promise. You can give them away by the handful knowing that they will surely catch people’s eye especially if you use Senator’s mix-n-match service. They are low cost writing instruments that will promote your brand for months if not years.

Try the mix-n-match option if you have three weeks before the pens are required. With this service you can choose from a wide selection of clip and barrel colours. For example, if your company colours are red, white and blue, you could ask for 500 blue barrelled pens with red clips and 500 red barrelled pens with white clips. Print them all with the same logo design to save money and you will have an exciting selection of pens that look like they were manufactured with your company in mind.

The Senator Super Hit features a large capacity refill which explains why they write so well. You can choose from the Senator Super Hit basic or opt for the translucent Super Hit, the Super Hit Eco or the stylish Super Soft with a comfort grip section.

Today I wrote over 3000 words with this pen – four blogs and a lot of note taking and it wrote like a much more expensive pen. These pens are excellent for promoting your brand at trade shows, direct mail campaigns or just to have on your reception desk to give away to customers in person.

Did you know that plastic pens will change owners five times on average. Think of the exposure your brand could receive!

So what are you waiting for? Ask for samples of the promotional Super Hit pen today in your company colours, request a visual and see for yourself why Senator is one of the most popular promotional plastic pen brands worldwide!

Promotional Desktop Gifts for the Computer IT Industry

Sunday, September 12th, 2010
apple desktop design

The Apple designed desktop gifts

Can promotional gifts be different from industry to industry? I mean what makes an IT desktop gift different to say a banking industry desktop gift or a desk item for the financial industry?

In truth, the promotional products do not need to be all that different but often the brand and how it is presented is very different from industry to industry.

Case in point – Apple computers recently put together a very attractive and from what I hear very successful desktop gift campaign. The selection included an A5 and A4 conference folder. Both were in what is called a Scuba PVC that is available in some quite exciting and ‘in’ colours. In the case of Apple, they chose a light green and a light blue. The conference folders were then printed with a cool design of a man listening to an iPod and of course the Apple logo.

Having found the perfect colour for their promotion, colours that look liked they were designed for an IT brand, they then had Pantone matched mugs printed with the Apple logo. Apple also had two Senator Skeye Icy transparent blacks pens personalised with the Apple logo to match the blue folders.

The selection looked fantastic! I have seen few desktop gift sets that look so good. The good news is you can have this for your business too.

Regardless of the size of your company, you can have a personalised desktop gift set colour coordinated and pantone matched that will make you look like you are a leader in your industry.

Print the promotional gifts with IT themed designs and your logo and watch as you customers begin to decorate their offices with your top quality branded products.

Think about it for a minute… What is your brand? How do people see you or perhaps the better question would be how do you want to be seen? Products such as these will help build that perfect picture.

Promotional desktop gifts are ideal business gifts for customers and employees. If you have a shop or business where your customers come often you may want to offer them as competition gifts or perhaps even sell them for profit. Don’t forget to order enough to decorate and brand your own office.

Would you like us to design a desktop gift set perfect for your IT company. We’ve done it many times before and we can do it for you. Contact us today on 01642 782455.

A Fresh Look at the Senator Challenger Pen

Monday, August 9th, 2010
Senator Challenger Basic Pens

Senator Challenger Basic Pens look fantastic printed on the barrel or clip.

Senator Pens has a global reputation as being one of the best manufacturers of promotional pens. All of their pens are designed with promotional logo printing in mind. The Challenger Basic Pen is one of their masterpieces. Simple in design, these innovative and stylish looking pens are very popular worldwide. You should not purchase these pens just because they are popular, however. In this article I will explain why they are so popular and then I suggest you ask for a few samples to test for yourself!

The Senator Challenger Basic pen is ‘basic’ in design but it allows you to print your logo nice and large on the barrel and clip making it a fantastic promotional tool. Aside from its attractive appearance, there is one really good reason why these pens are so popular: they are smooth writers. Each Challenger Basic pen comes supplied with a large capacity top quality refill. As they are made to order, you even have a choice of blue or black ink refills. For those that love gel ink, it is also a popular option.

Available Colours
Senator Challenger Basic comes with a white barrel and a choice of five popular trim colours or all black or all blue. For those looking for pens that match their corporate colours closely, the exact Pantone colours are as follows;

Yellow trim (PMS116c)
Orange trim (PMS 1505c)
Red trim (PMS 485)
Blue trim and blue barrel (PMS 288c)
Green trim (PMS 349c)

These colours were carefully chosen to ensure they match the majority of logos closely.

Express Printing

If you have left things a bit late, the Challenger can be printed one colour in as few as 24 hours. There is also a two day service and a five day service. You can also have two colours printed in four working days. Express printing is a specialty and should only be done by those suppliers that are set up to do so and do so as part of their normal every day service!

As previously mentioned, I recommend asking for a few samples of these excellent value pens. While you are at it, why not ask for samples of the Senator Super-Hit, Akzento, SuperSoft and Dart ball pens. Write with them for a while if time allows and you will be sold on the Senator brand of promotional pens!

An in Depth Look at the Popular Senator Super Soft Pen

Friday, July 23rd, 2010
The Senator Super Soft Pens

The Senator Super Soft is available in many solid and translucent colours.

You may have heard about the Senator Super-Hit promotional pens range. Super-Hit promotional plastic pens look fantastic and have played key rolls in many successful marketing campaigns. But did you know that they are also available with a soft grip section? That’s right, just when you thought these popular promotional pens could not get any better, Senator went and added a comfort grip. These ‘soft’ versions of the Super-Hit are only pennies more than the original versions and simply must be seen. Don’t just take my word for it though. Ask for a few samples and experience these top quality promotional pens for yourself.

Print Area

Do not be scared off by the slightly smaller print area on these pens. Due to the grip sections, the print areas on the barrel are slightly smaller than the Super-Hit. The clip print area of 35mm x 6mm provides ample space to print a telephone number or most web addresses.

There are two possible print areas on the barrel. You can print 35mm x 20mm in line with the clip which is the most common place to print. Depending on your print design, however, you may choose to print on the back and side of the barrel in a print area of 60mm x 13mm

Ask for a few printed samples and see for yourself how good these promotional pens can look printed!

Ink Refills

All Super Soft pens come with a good quality ink refill. You can choose from blue or black ink, however in the UK black ink is standard

Possible Colours

There is a white or black barrel version of the Senator Super Soft and also a translucent barrel option. You may be trying to find pens that are close to your own corporate colours so I have listed the exact colour Pantones here.

The white barrel pen comes with a choice of;

yellow (PMS 116c) trim
red (PMS 485c) trim
blue (PMS 288c) trim
green (PMS 341c) trim
black trim

The translucent Super Softs are available in;

yellow (PMS 1225c)
orange (PMS 1505c)
red (PMS 201c)
green (PMS 347c)
blue (PMS 286c)
black

Epress Printing
Most popular plastic pens are available on express services these days and the Super Soft is no exception. You can have your pens printed one colour in just two days! How is that for service?

So then, what are you waiting for? Ask us for a few samples and email your design. These popular promotional pens could just play a significant roll in your next big promotion.
