It is a fact: in the business world, a given company’s success in terms of profit is almost necessarily dependent on its marketing success. The leaders or owners of fledgling companies often find that their business is sluggish at the beginning as they attempt to pull themselves out of the red and experiment with various forms of marketing and advertising. Eventually, if the owners of a business lucky -- and more importantly, hardworking and innovative -- they will find through their experimentation the marketing solution -- the right demographic, the right newspaper, a popular promotional product -- and their business will begin to grow by leaps and bounds.
The distribution of promotion pens is a marketing strategy that works. We all know that word of mouth -- when word of mouth is plausible -- is a powerful tool for the company in search of more business. Well, the promotional pen takes word of mouth to the next level. It is something that we take for granted, but the pen is a tool that every single one of us needs to use. We all own them, buy them, and lose them on a daily basis. Everyone from the corporate executive to the housewife uses them, and most of us even steal them -- inadvertently, of course -- from our friends and the businesses that we frequent.
That is the beauty of the pen as a marketing tool. It goes everywhere with everyone. People carry them in their pocket and in their purse, they leave them on the bus or at their favorite restaurant, or they lend them to friends or a billing-paying spouse. And if you’re promoting your business with a small, elegant advertisement on the pen shaft, each of these people in each of these places is seeing your company name and phone number, at very little cost to you.
For instance: let’s say you have a friend who does a lot of traveling for business. He flies all over the country, and every time he comes back he seems to have a new pen from a different hotel. You ask him “Why is it that you always seem to be using hotel pens?” Then he tells you that he just seems to always pick them up when he’s in the lobby of a hotel, because he knows that once he goes up to his room, he’s going to have work to get done before heading in to whatever office he’s visiting.
As a result of your encounter with your friend and his pen, you now know the name of a hotel in Phoenix that you’d never heard of before. The next time you go to Phoenix on business, you’ll remember that name and stay there. The company that manages the hotel at which you stayed made their money back on that pen and then some.
That is why promotional pens are one of the simplest, least expensive, and most effective marketing tools out there. Pens are ubiquitous: they are everywhere and someone always seems to need a pen. Once you’ve put your business advertisement on a promotional pen, the name of your business will be passed around as faster than word of mouth, faster, even, than you can say, “Do you have a pen I could borrow?”
