Promotional Pens and Writing Instruments

The logo pens category have one of the widest price range for promotional items, from as low as the $0.16 affordable Bic click pens to the $200 premium Waterman ballpoints. This wide price bracket allows you to choose the promo pen that will maximize your marketing budget and, at the same time, satisfy your target market segment. And even though logo pens boast flexibility, these promotional items truly excel as corporate gifts for campaigns that involve gathering information from a large population. Some common examples are sales lead gathering and market research survey.

There are two reasons why logo pens shine in information gathering projects. First is that during these activities, your goal is to have your target market write down important information. Thus, the function of the pen satisfies the very purpose of your activity while, at the same time, serving as your "thank you" gift. The second reason is that compared to other promotional items, a logo pen is very compact. This characteristic allows you to bring and store a larger number of your marketing product relative to other giveaways. The importance of this becomes apparent when you are faced with a bulging number of target market coupled with a limited storage space, such as a constrained booth space in trade shows.

Promotional Mugs and Drinkware

Mugs and drinkware are the promotional items that appeal to everyone. Thus, if you are targeting a market that is just too difficult to segment, then you can always go for the classic logo imprinted coffee mug that is well appreciated by most people. Aside from the general appeal of this marketing giveaway, a promo mug is also one of the most common item you'll find on top of office desks. Hence, if you want your promotional item to be displayed at the place of work of your clients, which is also where most buying decision occurs, then personalized mugs and drinkware should be your number one choice for your promotional item strategy.

The promotional items presented above are the top marketing products based on annual sales. This goes to show that even the most widely used promo items still require a well designed strategy to achieve a successful marketing giveaway campaign. But the important thing to note is that the success of any promotional campaign is strongly rooted on a well understanding of your employees, products, and target market.
