Promotional Super Nova Extra Pens

Promotional pens really can be printed extra fast!

 

If you are looking for low cost promotional pens that can be printed with your logo and details in a hurry, you’ve come to the right place. Today I would like to tell you about a best selling pen that really grabs people’s attention.

Promotional Super Nova Extra Pens have been around for a while. They offer a clean look with sleek white barrels and a choice of colourful trim colours. You have a choice of red, blue, green, yellow and black trim.

If that wasn’t good enough, these low cost promotional pens are Italian manufactured. In an age where almost all pens are made in the Far East, these European made pens are really something to consider behold.

So what else makes these budget promotional pens such outstanding value for money?

How about the large print area of 50mm x 20mm! You don’t see that on many pens. This is enough print space to print a logo and quite a lot of text. There is also a 25mm x 6mm print area on the clip. At CompuGift, we can show you how your logo and details will look on these pens with our free design service.

You can purchase 1000 printed one on the barrel for only 26p each. What’s more, we can express print these promotional pens in just 24 hours. Super Nova Extra Pens are just one of the famous list of popular pens that make up our 24 hour express printing service.

Super Nova pens are ideal for large and small promotions. Order large quantities and the unit price drops fast. If, however, all you need is a small amount of promotional pens, you will be happy to know that we can print as few as 250 for you.

Promotional Candy Pens- How Larry Got The Best Pen For His Money

November 29th, 2011

Promotional Candy Pens Made Larry a very happy Man!

 

Larry was a retired tightrope walker, working for a new company part time. He had been asked to source promotional pens and didn’t have a clue where to start. Everywhere he looked, he saw the same promises of the lowest prices and fastest service. Surely these companies can’t all be the best!

Regardless of his frustrations, he carried on searching  looking for the perfect pens for his company’s big promotion. He wanted something simple in design but very effective at the same time.

After looking at promotional pens on many different sites, he finally came across promotional Candy Pens. From the moment he saw the range of promotional Candy Pens he knew they would be both eye-catching and attention grabbing.

The problem was, they were a bit out of his budget.

The company he found that was supplying the promotional Candy Pens was a Sheffield based promotional pens supplier who tried to convince him that they were the sole distributor of these popular promotional pens.  They weren’t and still aren’t!

You see, there is only one importer of promotional Candy Pens and they supply distributors nationwide with these fantastic value pens to sell to their customers. Whether you purchase them from the somewhat top heavy Sheffield based promotional pens supplier Larry found first or you purchase them from an internet based promotional pens supplier, these promotional Candy pens are the same pens.

With a little luck and the fact that we sell one heck of a lot of promotional Candy Pens, Larry found us. He rejected the Sheffield based promotional pens supplier’s offer to come see him about his order and purchase his chosen promotional pens online at a fraction of the cost.

At CompuGift, we absolutely love this range of promotional pens. They can be printed with up to 6 spot colours to the barrel pantone matched to your corporate colours. We can also have them printed and despatched to you in just 3 days!

So if you would like to see a sample of our promotional Candy pens, just ask and please don’t wait for a visit. Many promotional pens suppliers still offer this service but someone has to pay for it and that someone will be you.

Larry went away a happy man and has since returned to order more promotional Candy Pens. Sorry Mr Sheffield Based Promotional Pens Supplier! Your old fashioned way of doing business are expensive and unnecessary.

If you have any questions about any of the products found on our website or can’t seem to find what you are looking for then drop us an email or give us a call.

Promotional Candy Pens start at only 19p each!

The Story Of The Idiot Pseudo Eco Warrior Who Purchased Promotional Gifts

October 13th, 2011

 

Promotional Gifts - Dan Toombs

Dan Toombs

Eco friendly promotional gifts are what you make of them. They are a good way to show your customers and staff that you are concerned about the world we all share. They can also bring your business or organisation a lot of valuable good publicity. It is important to know, however that not all eco gifts are created equally. In fact many products that are not classified as ‘eco friendly’ are actually more so than the bulk of eco goods imported thousands of miles from China every year.

Usually when people come to us to purchase promotional gifts, they make it clear what they want from the start. This is the way it should be. It makes it much easier to recommend promotional products and ensure the customer is over the moon happy when we deliver.

Unfortunately, every now and then one customer gets through the net assuming we can read their mind.

This is what happened when Mr Harvey’s marketing executive Nancy phoned us looking for Parker Pens. By the way, their names have been changed to protect this ex-clients’ stupidity.

The order went through without a hitch. Nancy dutifully signed off our pre-production visuals and we even delivered a couple of days early which made Mr Harvey very happy.

At this stage I should inform you that the plastic Parker Pens Nancy ordered were supplied in attractive Parker brand gift boxes. All promotional Parker Pens are supplied in gift boxes.

Upon receiving the goods, we received an email from Nancy explaining how happy they were with the pens.

“We love them!” she wrote “But there is one small problem.”

I read on…

“Mr Harvey was wondering if you could have the pen boxes picked up. As a company, we are very eco-conscious and had no idea the pens would be supplied with these gift boxes. We feel gift boxes serve no real purpose.”

I phoned her immediately and explained how sending a lorry 200 miles to collect the boxes would not be eco-friendly at all.

A day went by and I thought everything was fine when the second email arrived.

“Mr Harvey is not happy. He wants you to pick up the boxes and use them for another customer or find a place where they can be recycled.”

I reiterated our stance.

To this she replied that Mr Harvey had business in Leeds and would bring them to us himself but he wasn’t happy.

I looked at the map and knew he would be driving at least 30 minutes out of his way to do this but… to each his own.

Mr Harvey arrived the next day. He was still visibly angry that he was ‘made’ to do this. I walked with him out to his car where he lit up a cigarette while complaining about the wastefulness of the pen boxes and that he should have been informed before they were delivered.

I recommended that he keep the gift boxes and use them for storing seeds. He didn’t laugh.

As he stepped into his car, he stubbed the cigarette out in his car ashtray. We said our last good-byes and he drove off.

Are cigarette butts biodegradable?

Highlight Your Brand With Promotional Trangular Highlighters

September 9th, 2011

 

To skip this article and go directly to our promotional highlighters section, please click here.

Full colour promotional highlighters

Full colour promotional highlighters for less

 

Phil has been a customer of ours for years and the only products he has ever purchased are promotion triangular highlighters. I caught up with him the other day when he phoned to purchase another batch. I really wanted to see if possibly their was something else in our massive range of promotional products that might be of interest to him.

I explained to him how we have specialised in promotional writing instruments for many years but our range of promotional products is extensive.

I wanted to ensure he knew this as often our customers find us through our massive promotional pens website but don’t realise we supply many other products too.

Phil laughed and explained that promotional triangular highlighters are all he has ever needed to keep his businesses booming. He owns a small chain of restaurants popular with university students and hands out the much needed gifts often.

‘I know they will always be used. They are required often but not every day so they tend to last a very long time and promote my business for a long time too.’ He explained.

Promotional triangular highlighters have not always been as popular as they are now.

About five years ago – due to advances in digital printing, it became possible to print triangular highlighters fast and in full colour. They can also be express printed in 24 hours at no additional cost so you will never have to miss an important deadline. This opened up the market to thousands of other companies who now use highlighters to promote their brand.

Phil has used this express service on many occasions as promotional highlighters are not at the top of his agenda. He often finds that he has handed out all his highlighters and needs to order more urgently

Promotional triangular highlighters work well for many different types of businesses. Whether you are targeting students who use them in their studies or you have office bound customers, you will find they always have a happy home.

One of the biggest advantages of handing our promotional triangular highlighters is that they have three different highlighting colours and to top it all off, they also feature two massive print areas.

If you would like more information about our promotional triangular highlighters, our express printing serice or our express printed promotional pens, please contact us today on 01642 782455.

Promotional Gift Pens That Ooze Style- Check Out The Balmoral Ball Pen

September 6th, 2011

 

Promotional metal gift pens - The Balmoral

Promotional Balmoral metal gift pens

Every so often we are contacted by someone looking for promotional gift pens. Often the person enquiring has no idea where to start. Name brand promotional pens such as Parker, Lamy and Cross usually come to mind but these promotional gift pens are not in everyone’s budget. Such was the case last January when the headmaster of a local school contacted us for advice

Steve wanted to offer the kids in his secondary school something to strive for. He saw promotional gift pens as a way of getting the students to buckle down and work. We delivered 250 Balmoral gift pens (pictured) to him at the beginning of February 2011 and the campaign has proved to be a tremendous success.

Balmoral metal gift pens are chunky with a quality twist action mechanism. Their low cost starting of around £2.00 is much lower than brand promotional gift pens but they look and feel like they are much more expensive.

Be sure to request a sample of our Balmoral promotional gift pens  if you think it could be right for your campain. There’s nothing like trying before you buy!

 

Anyway, back to how Steve used Balmoral promotional gift pens.

He asked his teachers to choose one student each week who did something extraordinary. This could be anything from doing very well academically or simply helping out in the class room or helping a new student get to know the school.

Each Friday at assembly, the Balmoral gift pens printed with the schools logo were handed out to the lucky students who earned them.

‘You wouldn’t believe the interest these promotional gift pens attracted!’ Steve said. ‘The majority of the students wanted one and set out trying to be one of the few students to receive one at the end of week assembly.’

Steve just recently placed an order for another 250. He told us how happy he was to have found a low cost metal pen that the students love and even want show off.

Balmoral pens are manufactured in brass so they are quite heavy like more expensive pen. They be printed on the barrel in an area of 30mm x 20mm. They can also be engraved.

These promotional metal gift pens can also be supplied in a selection of different presentation cases and pouches at a small additional cost. They also boast a Parker style refill that has a very long and smooth writing life.

For more information about Balmoral pens or any of the other promotional gift pens on our site, please contact us today at 01642 782455.

Promotional Pens London- Is It The Local Or The Service You Desire

August 3rd, 2011

 

Dan Toombs writes about promotional pens London

Dan Toombs

Over the past 20 years working in the promotional gifts industry, I have seen many changes. One is the decline in the importance  of selling or purchasing promotional merchandise locally. In fact, this could cost you a lot of money unnecessarily!

Therefore, when searching for promotional pens London, you should probably read this blogpost first!

I often receive enquiries from marketing professionals who typed promotional pens London into their favourite search engine and found us at promotionalpens.co.uk! This will be greatly down to our name but hey… we’re in the North East of England. What’s going on?

If the truth be known, even if our offices are in the North East, our pens are stored in locations all around the UK including London. This applies to most of the promotional gift suppliers in the UK.

Those promotional pens are then printed at different locations depending on lead-time and the type of pens we are printing.

At the end of the day, where you are and where your promotional pens supplier is means very little nowadays.

 

Why the locality of your supplier used to be important

 

Back in the old days – before the Internet, many promotional pen suppliers would pride themselves on their vast showrooms and the fact that they could come visit – push you – into making a purchase.

This was an expensive way of doing business but at the time it was necessary. Some promotional pen suppliers still work in this way.

For the most part, the Internet and easy search changed all that. Want the best prices? Search online! Want to see a sample? The best promotional pen suppliers will be happy to send samples. Want promotional pens London – Look up North.

 

So what happens when you search for promotional pens London?

 

Local search is great for many business types but when it comes to promotional pens, your paying for the service. Promotional Parker Pens are Promotional Parker Pens regardless of who you purchase them from.

Online promotional pen suppliers like promotionalpens.co.uk. however can offer you these and other printed pens faster and for a lot less. We may be in Yorkshire but we specialise in the online supply of promotional pens worldwide.

Looking for the best deals on promotional pens London? You’ll find them up North!

 

Whether you are searching for promotional pens London, promotional pens Birmingham or promotional pens (Your city here) – you will always find the best deals and service from online promotional pen specialists like promotionalpens.co.uk!

Promotional Pens Leeds- Does Location Really Matter?

August 2nd, 2011

Looking for promotional pens Leeds?

I received an enquiry the other day from a marketing manager who typed ‘Promotional Pens Leeds‘ into Google. I am happy to say he found promotionalpens.co.uk and we were able to supply him with promotional pens and other business gifts he required. But how easily could he have missed us and gone elsewhere? I mean – promotional pens leeds? We’re about 30 miles from Leeds!

This got me to thinking about all the different businesses we supply around the UK and the current trend toward local search. Luckily, my customer found us because a Leeds based customer had written a glowing review about our products and service but not everyone writes reviews when they’re happy!

There are only about ten importers of promotional pens in the UK and we happen to be one of them. Anyone who deals with us will know that we have our main offices in North East England but our promotional pens are stored in London and Birmingham and those pens are often printed in other cities depending on the lead-time required.

What others could find if they search for promotional pens Leeds

The promotional pens industry is not like other – more localised – industries. We may have offices in North East England but the majority of our customers stem from the larger cities all over the UK and Europe.

By typing ‘promotional pens Leeds‘ into your search engine of choice, you are much more likely to find a company in your area that sells promotional pens – though knowing the business as I do, they probably won’t specialise in them.

If you want the lowest prices and best service, you need to search online for suppliers who supply promotional pens day in and day out!

How do you know where to shop online?

I’m not emplying that promotionalpens.co.uk is the only good supplier of promotional pens in the UK. But when you are looking for online suppliers of promotional merchandise such as promotional pens and promotional notebooks, it is a good idea to look for those who have the products you are looking for in their website domain name!

These are the companies who were in the position to enter the online promotional gifts market early and they are also most likely the biggest suppliers online.

Gone are the days when big was good! These days you will always find the best deals and service from the promotional pens suppliers who are less top-heavy and know how and what to sell online.

Of course, nothing beats actually speaking to the supplier. We like to think that it is our service – backed by our name – promotionalpens.co.uk that has helped us to become the UK’s leading printed pen suppliers.

At the end of the day, you can always search locally too. If in Leeds, try typing ‘promotional pens Leeds‘ and see what comes up. But be sure to stop back here and compare prices and service.

When searching for promotional pens Leeds, you will most likely find the promotional pens Middlesbrough will get you what you are looking for fast and for a lot less!

In fact, we will beat the price of any Leeds based promotional pens supplier by 10% – GUARANTEED!

So for promotional pens Leeds, please contact us today.

Promotional Pens are Better Sales Tools Than Ever Before

June 20th, 2011

Promotional Pens by Prodir

Can you see how nicely personalised promotional pens can help build your brand?

Promotional pens and the Internet

 

The way we shop and for that matter socialise has changed greatly in the past few years.

The internet has progressed and taken most of us with it.  Increasing numbers of us shop online, socialise online and find the information we require online.

This has made using promotional pens and other desktop promotional gifts a very good and cost effective means of promoting your business.

Ten years ago we got most of our information through the television. Nowadays, most of us spend just as much, if not more  time on sites like Facebook, Twitter and Google.  This trend is bound to grow as the Internet becomes more interesting and mobile Internet becomes more popular.

Giving your customers promotional pens that they can use when they are jotting down information they find on Google or making a note to themselves to meet up with Facebook friends will help build your brand in a very positive way.

As increasing numbers of us turn to our desktops and away from our televisions, products such as printed promotional pens will be seen much more often.

Try to get a few promotional pens and other business gifts on your customers’ desktops. These products will work as silent salemen for you each time your target customers find themselves in front of their computers!

When choosing promotional pens, you want to look for those that will represent your company in a positive way.  Look for good quality pens that write smoothly and last a long time. I highly recommend the promotional pens by Senator Pens and Prodir Pen which I use in my own marketing.

There is a good reason why logo printed pens are the hottest promotional gifts on the market.  People need to use them daily both at home and work. We also need them when we travel and that will never change even in our computer driven world.

Why not start your next marketing campaign off in a good way by ensuring your customers have a selection of good quality writing instruments with your logo branded all over them.

For more information about how promotional pens can help grow your business, please contact me on 01642 782455 or simply subscribe to the RSS feed of this blog.

We would be happy to supply you with samples and ideas!

Promotional Pens promote like few business gifts can!

Promotional Contour Pens- Why I Hate The Promotional Pens That Sell Themselves

June 14th, 2011

Promotional Contour Pens - Just some of the many colours combinations

Contour pens are also called ‘Curvy Pens‘ by some suppliers because of their curvy design.

Last week I attended an exhibition and spoke at length with one of my promotional pens suppliers. As we chatted, she brought up the hugely popular Contour pen and joked at how – even if she didn’t sell any other pens – she would still be busy because of Contour pen sales.

I knew this wasn’t far from the truth.

Having sold hundreds of thousands of promotional Contour pens last year myself, I know how every other enquiry is for these curve-bodied pens.

So you might wonder how I could possibly have something against such a popular product.

Alright then… I’ll tell you.

Promotional Contour Pens have a print area of 35mm x 10mm which is small and difficult to work with. Of course it is my job to get everything onto a pen that my customers want printed. This oversight in design has led to making compromises in some cases.

What’s interesting is that these compromises rarely result in the customer choosing another pen.

That’s it! The print area let’s the Contour pen down.

Other than that the Contour pen looks great and writes well too for a budget pen.

It’s available in many different colour combinations to better compliment your corporate branding. It’s available on express lead-times at no additional cost. It’s available with blue or black ink refills! It’s available now at lower prices than ever before because demand is high and stocks are too.

Promotional Contour Pens do sell themselves. People see them and want to purchase them. This is especially so when they receive a sample and experience for themselves what they are getting for relatively very little spend.

So if you want to order promotional Contour pens. If you want these pens to promote your brand. if you want a lot of bang for your buck… Please do this:

Keep the text on the pen to a minimum.

If your customers have to squint to read your details, they probably won’t.

Consider printing on both sides.

You could print your logo on one side of the barrel and your contact details on the other to keep everything nice and neat.

Allow plenty of time to get the best results.

A good and profession promotional pens supplier should be able to help you get all the right print detail in the right places. This service should be free.

It is after all in our best interest to ensure your promotional pen campaign is a huge success!

If you would like to order the Contour pen for your next marketing campaign, the please click here or call us on 01642 782455.

 

Then again, if you want to make my job easy, choose a straight bodied pen! :)
