Pointers When Purchasing Promotional Pencils
Pencils sure bring us back to the day when we first learned how to write in school. We were all taught using wooden pencils and we were not afraid to commit any mistakes because we knew that we are able to erase them and start over. As the years pass, we were asked to used pens instead and since then we have been accustomed to using pens and markers as our preferred writing instrument. However, if you are an artist, or someone who loves to draw, then most likely than not, your first choice would be to use pencils. These pencils have become part of us so whenever we see ourselves using one, there is this nostalgic feeling of becoming a kid once again. So if you are a business who wants to take your customers back in time, try Promotional Pencils.
This is a great promotional tool for schools, corporate meetings, and even during training which are usually provided with the training modules. However, there are three basic pointers in which must be taken before indulging your business into purchasing these pencils from your suppliers. Let's tackle them one by one:
- First, who will be using these pencils? If you are targeting toddlers and kids as your potential market for your business, then giving out pencils in schools for the kids with your business name printed on them will be perfect. Additionally, to attract these kids into making them use your pencils, you have to make them as colourful as you can, and make sure that it can represent your company very well. You'd be surprised that even kids these days recognise a certain company just by looking at the logo. So you have to incorporate your logo or business emblem as well. Furthermore, if you are planning to have them use your promotional pencils, consider the size of their hands. Normally, when we were younger, we were taught to use a wider pencil so that we could fully grip on to it and have more control.
- Second, what type of pencils are you planning to give away? While wooden pencils will definitely be more cost effective for your promotional budget, if you are planning for long term advertising, then mechanical pencils can do the job. Imagine if your recipients would sharpen the wooden pencils every now and then, then you're business name will eventually be sharpened away as well and be consumed in the long run. Unlike mechanical pencils, anyone will be able to use them as long as they have enough supplies of lead, hence you'll get more brand name visibility and exposure.
- Third, speaking of sharpening these pencils, you also have to bear in mind if you'll be giving your promotional pencils sharpened or not (considering if you are planning to hand out wooden pencils). Though generally, pencils are handed out not sharpened but when these promo pencils are to be used during a conference, then it would deem fit to sharpen them beforehand so that attendees will be able to use them right away.
