When it comes to marketing your company or cause, you want to find the best promotional items, but man, there are so many options out there! This list brings all the most effective products together, whether you’re looking for stationery or the best promotional pens.
Metal pens are a mainstay in best promotional items lists because they offer a professional impression of your business to customers and prospects. Most metal pens are laser engraved pens, which means your imprint won’t get scratched or rubbed off through the years.
The Alpha Soft Touch Pen with Stylus® makes for one of the best promotional pens for any business and industry because of its elegant look, versatile colors, soft touch feel, and plenty of logo space.
Sleek and modern, the Paragon Pen highlights your logo or message on the shiny barrel in all its laser-engraved glory.
When your recipients hold the Soft Touch Diamond Stylus Pen, they’ll be impressed by the weighty feel—they’ll assume you spent a lot of money and we won’t tell them otherwise.
The Maya has a larger barrel covered in a velvety soft touch coating and is finished with chrome accents and a handy stylus at the tip of the pen.
Another Alpha Soft Touch Pen with Stylus made the list, of course, and this is because of its striking bright colors that grab attention wherever the pen goes.
Plastic pens get you the exposure you want at the price point you’re looking for. They make for great giveaways at events, thoughtful gifts with purchase, or perfect additions to your reception area.
