 Salon Success Stories using promotional products from National Pen:
Laura Hall - Auburn Massage & Wellness Centre
It all started when a friend and I decided to open this little massage business in 2007... In 2008 we had some unexpected turns for our business. We subleased space off of a fitness center and with the struggling economy we found ourselves in a hot mess when the fitness center announced they would be closing. We had to think fast and come up with some great ideas to let the public know that we were still in business. We had a huge open house that turned out to be a great success. As we thought about some marketing tips, we called National Pen and ordered bags with our logo and information on them. As 2009 approached my business partner and I have flourished as business expanded, the funds are being used rapidly for bettering our business. We are two single moms and we have sacrificed our personal pocket books in order to keep investing in our future. We will be having a Grand Re-Opening for our new expanded Massage & Wellness Centre. So again we will be looking at some new marketing items to advertise for our ever growing business.
Rachelle Urquilla - Provence ~ A Place for Beauty
I own a nail and skin care salon. Every year for the holidays, we give our clients a gift bag of products. It usually consists of travel size beauty products as well as one of your contour pens. EVERY YEAR we hear the same thing..... "are you giving us those pens this year?" Although they love the beauty products, we are consistently asked for the pens!! That's the only thing they can think of initially when they receive their gift bag. We also use the pens throughout the year at our stations and those pens are often begged to be taken!! Our clients just love your pens and in return our name is on those pens all over town!! Thank you so much for our FAVORITE pens!!
Bill Cockrell - Sun-Sations Tanning Salon & Spa. Inc.
We have had your Colorama Pens since 2006. I leave them everyplace I go and give them to all new clients as well. I gave one to one of our tanning clients who was vacationing in another state and visited a tanning salon in Ohio. She somehow left that pen behind at the salon and the owner picked it up and by chance called me. He was going out of business due to health reasons and sold me his newer tanning beds at a super cost. My business doubled in size immediately and now with no waiting for a tanning session, our client list tops 1500. GOT PENS? We sure do.
Mark Lohmann - Planet Massage
At Planet Massage, we are finding that low cost giveaways are one of the best options for growing our business. Traditional advertising in our market is extremely expensive and is just not all the effective. Pens are a great tool. They incorporate what I call residual value. It's sort of like free advertising. Let me explain. For every hundred or so pens that we give out... we get a few customers right away that pay for the pens. Now, there is close to 100 pens out there that will get passed around, borrowed, and perhaps months or years later, customers find us! Bonus! It's always nice to see a client get REALLY excited... over a 20 cent gift. You have now created buzz marketing... as they tend to tell their friends all about good things...and your business!
Irene Cazares - Hair Impressions Salon
We have a beauty salon and we give out pens instead of our cards. Our customers request pens because they carry them in their wallets or checkbooks and always have them handy in their calendars and it makes it much easier to call us for appointments. They love the way the pens write and it makes us feel awesome that they admire our wonderful pens. They also always stop by and ask us to please order our pens every year because they give them with our gift certificates. Many clients take 2 or 3 pens to pass along. So thank you very much and we will continue using your products.
