Our 10 Best-Selling Promotional Pens To Inspire Your Next Campaign

It may well be mightier than the sword - well, according to some, at least - but one thing's for sure: a promotional pen is a highly-effective tool to help market your business and take awareness for your brand to the next level.

Why Choose Promotional Pens For Your Next Marketing Campaign?

There are all sorts of reasons why printed pens can make a fantastic addition to your marketing campaign.

• Cost-effective: promotional pens are low-cost giveaways that have long-lasting usability. In short, they offer more bang for your buck!
• Wide range of choice: whether your target audience comprises school students who could benefit from a branded highlighter or professionals who might be impressed by a luxe-touch Parker, there's a promotional pen to suit every audience. Fact!
• Memorable: research conducted by the BPMA found 80% of Brits are more likely to remember a brand from which they have received promotional merchandise. The same study also found that logo-branded products are twice as likely to make a business more memorable to consumers.

And of course, there are myriad other reasons why promotional pens could make the perfect finishing touch to your marketing plans, too. Hosting a conference? They make a great on-the-table giveaway for delegates. Including your brand in an event giveaway? Look no further than a printed pen for a freebie that you can guarantee will be used. Want to top-up office stationery supplies and accentuate your in-house office branding? Promotional pens will make a smart addition to any desk. In short, they're a versatile giveaway item that is as varied in its scenario uses as it is in its audience appeal.
