How Promotional Pens In Banks Have Changed In Recent Years

Why do you think that Banks use the little biros these days? Years ago, Banks used to have pens on their counters, chained and stuck to them, so that customers wouldn’t walk off with them. You can imagine the complaints when they run out!

These days the banks have trays and trays of little pens, all over the customer area, so that customers don’t have to search for one to do their paying in, etc. No doubt an awful lot of these end up in customers' pockets or handbags but they are promoting the bank in question whenever they use it, so it’s not all bad.

The General Change In Promotional Printed Pens

Another thing that has changed over the years is the type of pen that can be brought to promote businesses or brand awareness. Depending on your budget and timescales, there really is no end to the designs, colours or numbers of promotional pens you can choose from.

You can order executive-style pens if you want to give one to a member of staff or client as a thank you. Boxed and packaged you can order your chosen promotional pen in their thousands if you are going to use them as the banks do, to freely advertise your company wherever the pen is taken. The choice really is yours.
