Promotional pencils can now be printed in multiple colours!

Dave Jones (not his real name but definitely real) has been purchasing promotional carpenter pencils for many years. He works for a family owned trade supplier of building supplies and understands how much his customers value these low cost gifts. He loves the fact that they can be printed in full colour with fantastic results. Over the years he has purchase literally thousand of promotional carpenter pencils and his brand has become much stronger for it.

Promotional pencils come in many shapes, materials and sizes. Where Dave has found them to be the ideal promotional tools in his niche, many others have found different types of promotional pencils to be invaluable promotional products for their marketing requirements.

Just the other day I was in a pub that caters to families. Each and every child in the pub was offered a black and white kids menu with pictures and a box of colouring pencils. The boxes were printed with the pub’s logo and name. They were put to good use and most were taken home by the kids to colour with and further promote the pub.

Think about all the different types of businesses and organisation that use pencils and you could find a good reason to consider printing your logo onto a few hundred of these excellent low cost gifts.

Students in schools and colleges use pencils daily. Why not print your logo onto a few hundred and donate them to your local schools? If you sell a service or product that is perfect for the education industry or perhaps aimed at families, your pencils will be seen by those you are trying to attract.

Pencils also come in very handy in sports like golf and bowling where scores are kept by the players. This offers you a valuable opportunity to promote to these people. Do you have a popular restaurant near a golf course or maybe a taxi firm near a bowling alley?
Low cost gifts like mini wooden pencils can promote your service or facilities at very low cost.

Also readily available are executive and plastic mechanical pencils that can be used for years as the lead refills are available at stationery shops and easily replaced. Printing your logo on a quantity of these promotional pencils cannot be a bad idea.

Many people are trying to be more ecologically conscious these days and one way they are doing this is by giving their customers eco friendly promotional gifts. Promotional pencils are some of the most eco friendly gifts around. Look for mechanical pencils manufactured from recycled plastic or FSC wooden pencils that are certified to be manufactured out of wood harvested from responsibly maintained forests.

Can you think a a group of your target customers that would appreciate your logo printed pencils? Perhaps you have already used pencils to promote your brand. Feel free to leave a comment and share your thoughts.
