Promotional Pens NZ

pen supplies for brand promotion in New Zealand
Pens, Pens, for You
Promotional products or merchandise are a significant marketing tool for businesses, including hotels, motels, lodges, and holiday resorts. Universal items such as pens, apparel, caps, glassware, torches, drinking mugs, lighters, lanyards, and stationery supplies, have long been utilized for brand awareness, advertising, and company recognition for customers, clients, suppliers, and staff. A survey by LJ Market Research conducted in the USA on business travelers, has shown that about 75 % of participants could recall the advertiser or company from promotional products from the previous 12 months. But yet only about 50 % could recall an advertiser from printed media in the last week, as published in this report (PDF) from PPAI (Promotional Products Association International).

Impact, Awareness, and Exposure Marketing

Effective use, i.e. marketing or advertising of products, including pens can achieve at least few desirable aspects:
- Keep customers aware of your business name when they travel or on the move
- Exposure to potential customers at trade shows, expo's, conventions, public events, including motel or hotel functions
- Customer and Staff awareness, appreciation, and loyalty, e.g. included in gift packs for regular (or even new) customers and staff
- Display and maintain corporate identity with image building (e.g. re-branding), in relation to other company services, divisions, and/or parent companies.

Pens still have a place in our digital society, since people have and still use them, particularly in business and corporate environments. But being creative with various pen colors, brands, styles,shapes, composition, logo's, and graphics can have a effect, or at least a impression on potential customers. Particularly in combination with other marketable products, such as stationary and office items, gourmet gifts, party and event suppliers, that can include batteries, mugs, key tags, wristbands, and many other branded universal personal use items.
