Kevins Wholesale promotional products is introducing a new series on this blog called back to basics!  Here is the first installment.

We are coming upon the end of January and now is a good time to realize that in any area of life it is often the little things that will have the biggest impact.  That holds true for the promotional product industry.  Very often businesses are loooking for the newest gadget to promote or looking for a way to capitalize on an emerging trend.  These strategies definitely have their place but we should not forget about the basics.  What got us to the top in the first place or if we are just starting out what others have done to get to the top as well.

And that brings me to the most classic Promotional product around.  Pens.  Promotional Pens are number one for a reason.  They are a consistent and effective promotional item year after year.  They are low cost and high return.  Pens are classic.  Promotional pens have been around for a long time and they will stick around for a long time as well.  That is actually one of the best features of a pen.  They last a long time.  They will be used often and they will be used by a large number of people.  The average pen will get used by more people then say a coffee mug or a ruler or even a notepad.  This means that a greater number of people are going to see your logo.  They are going to see your business name, they are going to read your phone number and they will remember you.  When people use pens they are not flustered or distracted. Quite the opposite they are focused and their mind is set to retain information and that is why pens make great custom promotional items.

For these reasons and many more custom promotional pens should always be on the top of your list when you start a promotional product marketing campaign or plan a corporate give a way using promotional items.  They simply can not be beat in terms of value and exposure.
