If you’ve decided to purchase promotional pens, you’re in good company—they are the favorite choice of the majority of businesses, large and small. When choosing pens to use in promotions and advertising, or just to give out to clients and customers, it’s important to choose good quality items. These may be free gifts, but even so quality is still a crucial concept.
In rare situations, it’s fine to go with the cheap, low quality variety. Sometimes you just want to attract people and get your name out there, without intending to provide long lasting promotional gifts. At trade shows, for example, giving out very high quality items is less important than giving away the types of items that will tempt people to visit your company’s booth.
However, in many situations it pays to choose the best quality pens that your budget will allow. If you distribute poor quality pens that don’t write well or run dry quickly, the recipients of those pens will not bother to keep them for long—they’ll likely throw them away as soon as they stop working properly. Pens are not display items that can serve as an attractive accent to a room even if the pen itself is not useful—they’re entirely and solely functional items, and if the function is not there, the pen will not be kept. You may have only spent ₤0.10 or ₤0.20 per item, but it is money that has been entirely wasted if your pens don’t get used because they don’t function effectively.
Choosing good quality pens doesn’t have to be prohibitively expensive—there is so much variety in the mid-range priced pens that you’ll be able to find just the right pens fairly easily. Even if you end up buying slightly fewer pens than you initially wanted, choosing good quality items will serve you much better in the long run.
This is particularly true when giving promotional pens to clients that you meet with or speak to regularly. Loyal clients who do a large amount of business with your company should receive only the very best quality promotional items and gifts. When you give such clients any type of gift, those gifts must be able to show these clients how much you appreciate their continued loyalty to your company—and a cheap plastic pen is no way to do that. Giving good quality gifts will not only show your appreciation to such valued clients; it will also continue to remind them of you and your company, and your generosity, further generating additional goodwill every time the pen is used.
In short, choosing good quality promotional pens—or in fact any promotional item—is always the best way to proceed. In the long run it will almost always turn out to be more cost effective than choosing a larger volume of cheaper, low quality items. The additional goodwill you generate with good quality items is often worth more than being able to distribute a few extra pens.
