Promotion Pens
By: Abe WeadPromoting your business is important part of marketing. If you dont promote yourself youll never be known. Im reminded of a recent movie that would otherwise have been popular but wasnt. It failed to get the marketing a film requires and when it was released, in many theatres, it didnt make the sales that it would have.
One way of promoting yourself is to use a pen. Admittedly, its not as large scale as a commercial or any other kind of advertising. But, its still useful.
For instance, when recruiters from the military come to a school, they bring with them a load of information. Along with the information that you can, which includes pamphlets, are promotions gifts. A promotional pen is usually a promotional gift and is given out for free.
Additionally, many businesses will have pens at the ready for taking as soon as you go into their business. I work in a business myself and if a person needs to borrow a pen I give them one of the businesss. They dont necessarily have to keep it, but if they do its not a problem.
Where can you get one for yourself? Well, there are many businesses who specialize in making custom products for you business. Theres probably a couple in your town if you were to check your local yellow pages.
Else, theres always the internet. The internet is chock full of business and websites that are happy to make your items on your request. And the designs can be one of your own too. But, for a little extra you can have them design something for you.
Now remember, promotion doesnt stop with just promotional pens. There are a slew of other things that make great promotional items.
Take a mug for example, a great item and a useful one at that. Im reminded of this because I woman I know recently told me her interest in getting a mug of a particular company.
People want items from a company that they support. So in order to get people to be accepting of your promotional pen, they first must be accepting of your business. People dont take pens and use them from just any old company.
If I were to make a promotional pen with my name on it and give it to a guy on the street. Theres a good chance hed throw it out the first opportunity he had.
However, perhaps I did good business with the man. We chatted and I listened and gave him great customer service . As a token of my respect, I gave him a promotional pen. My business cares about doing business with him. He then takes the pen willingly and uses it when he can.
Each time hell be reminded of the great customer service he received. This is important because the next time he needs the service again, perhaps he glances at his pen, and will come back to my business.
