Promotional Pens, Engraved Pens- Using Engraved Pens as Promotional Pens

There are some instances when engraved pens make sense to use as promotional pens.  These are generally situations where there will only be a few promotional pens purchased, as engraved pens are more expensive than traditional promotional pens.  Engraved pens make a much better impression than the standard plastic pens, so they can be give a better impression and be a powerful advertising tool when used properly.  If care is not used, however, a budget can be quickly exceeded, which would negate most of the benefits received.   The best bet is to evaluate the situation carefully before deciding which type of pen to sue.

One way engraved pens can be used as promotional pens is to distribute them to businesses.  By distributing engraved pens to businesses rather than individuals, you gain the advertising benefit with fewer promotional pens.  Send engraved pens to banks and doctors' offices to be used at the front desk or teller windows.  This way everyone who uses these elegant promotional pens will see the information on them and an impression will be made. The key is to get the businesses to use them.  The best way to do this is to choose supporting or complimentary businesses rather than competitors in which to place the pens.

An example of this might be a car dealership that does not have a maintenance department using engraved pens as promotional pens for a repair shop.  Another example might be a school using engraved pens as promotional pens for a school supply store.  With some thought and creativity, engraved pens can be used as promotional pens without breaking the budget.  The key is to select a few disbursement venues that give maximum exposure.  Consider also if those who frequent those venues are even potential customers.  The bank and doctor's office examples are good because almost everyone uses one of these.

When using engraved pens as promotional pens, it is important to consider that if the promotional information is too small, potential clients will not be able to read it.  There is a point where engraved pens become unreadable when the engraving becomes too small.  This defeats the purpose of using them for promotional pens.  Try to stick to the name of the business and a phone number or website.  This method can turn engraved pens into successful promotional pens without making the information unreadable.  It is most useful if the name of the business lends a clue as to what type of business it is.
