Commemorate the School Year with Personalized Favors

Published by in Business Promotional Items, For Kids, Keychains, Party Favors, Pen Facts, Pencil Facts, Promote with Pens, Special Occasions on May 17th, 2013

personalized penTeachers often like to commemorate the year they have enjoyed with students by offering a few days where lessons are put away in favor of fun activities. Whether it means an extra period for a healthy snack or a rousing game of 7-Up, it is a great time for students and teachers to remember the things they enjoyed about growing together over a school year. Commemorating the school year is important. It rewards students’ hard work and offers them a chance to reflect on their own growth. This will reaffirm the progress they have made, hopefully assuring hard won lessons stick.

Another great method for commemorating the school year is with affordable personalized favors. You can put your own name and a class picture on a personalized keychain or have the school insignia and your class year stamped on a personalized notebook. In each case, the gift will offer a permanent touchstone for students to remember everything they learned in that grade.

Commemoration is particularly important for young children. Their rabid thirst for something new can lead them towards damaging impulses and can cause a sudden amnesia when it comes to lessons they have learned. With fun, personalized favors you can help them remember.

Reasonably Priced Personalized Favors as Trip Souvenirs

Published by in For Kids, Keychains, Party Favors, Pen Facts, Special Occasions on May 7th, 2013

personalized keychainCommemorating a vacation can end up costing an average American family hundreds of dollars on top of the cost of the vacation itself. You go to amusement parks and smash logos of your favorite roller coaster into pennies at $5 a pop. You get your clan printed on t-shirts or keychains for each member of the family. Then you leave the trip and realize you have hundreds of photos that will go mostly unused, save for occupying a place on your Facebook profile.

This is why we here at Pen Factory would love to encourage you to skip the smashed pennies and the overpriced personalized keychains at the tourist destination in favor of our more modestly priced personalized favors. You can use the hundreds of photos you have taken and throw them on a keychain after your trip or on a reusable travel mug. In each case, you will be saving a lot of money and getting a higher quality souvenir.

We pride ourselves on making high-quality products, while far too many touristy gift shops refuse to spring for durable, well-made items. With our services you can capture your memories at a price that is actually reasonable.

Personalized Favors for Family Reunions

Published by in Keychains, Party Favors, Promotional Cups on April 24th, 2013

personalized favorsFamily reunions are an incredible time to reconnect with your roots as well as the various branches that are growing out of those seeds. It is a time to have fun and build lasting memories of people you share blood with. It is a chance to time stamp where your family is at that given moment with a few photos.

We at Pen Factory also encourage people organizing family reunions to invest in personalized favors to commemorate the event. We have personalized keychains that you can label “(Your Family Name) Family Reunion 2013″ and pass around to all your relatives, but that is not the only option.

Using those large group photos to make personalized favors is a great idea. You can put the whole family on the side of a reusable travel mug or a keychain and mail them out after the event. This is a good option for two reasons. First, the photo will help the moment be forever immortalized. Second, sending out these gifts after the event will mean an open line of communication between you and the extended family beyond one wild weekend.

Celebrate your family reunion before and after with Pen Factory!

Bottle Opener Promotional Keychains

Published by in Business Promotional Items, Keychains on April 16th, 2013

promotional keychainsFewer and fewer people seem interested in non-functional keychains. Instead, more and more people are getting keychains that have some utility to them, often as promotional business items. Recently we have talked up our tape measures and pocket knife keychains. They are incredibly popular variations on the old, free promotional items that we pride ourselves on, but it ignored what is probably the most popular variation.

Bottle openers are not something we always think about having around, until you’re alone with a beer and no way to open it. This is why so many beer drinkers (as well as people who might enjoy those glass bottles of Coke from Mexico) have taken to finding one of these nifty bottle opener promotional keychains and they never let go.

This of course means that if you put your company logo on one of our bottle opener keychains, it may never go out of circulation. You might pass along a promotional keychain to a customer and four years later a person at a party will see that logo’ed merchandise. The potential for expanding brand recognition one consumer at a time is rarely so reliable and almost never so long lasting. Promotional keychains might be perfect for your business.

The Psychology of Promotional Business Items

Published by in Business Promotional Items, Pen Facts, Promote with Pens on April 10th, 2013

promotional business itemsFor some companies, the idea behind investing in promotional business items is marketing, plain and simple. As with all marketing though, there is a healthy dose of psychology at play in this process. Tapping into people’s gratitude and good nature might seem like a dicey business process, but that is exactly what those logo-adorned promotional pens and promotional key chains are there for.

When a person receives a gift of any kind there is, in most cases, an immediate sense of gratitude. That gratitude is an important psychological tool for businesses to utilize. By being the company who offered that nifty travel mug or the key chain you use everyday, you are positively ingraining your brand in a consumer’s psyche. When it comes to shopping for whatever product or service you happen to sell, their repeated use of that item will inevitably rest high in the consumer’s brain. The sense that your company has gone above and beyond will make a customer feel intrinsically linked to your brand.

Using a tactic like this to bring customers back is a great way to assure return business. The worst thing that could happen to a company is customers merely stopping by once and never returning.

Productive and Money-Saving Promotional Travel Cups

Published by in Business Promotional Items, Promotional Cups on April 3rd, 2013

promotional travel cupsPromotional business items are obviously great for getting your name out there and for reaffirming customer loyalty. That said, these personalized business items can also be useful assets to employees simply working in the office. Obviously when you bought those personalized business pens, you knew employees were going to use them, but that is not the only item that can become an integral part of your employees’ lives.

These promotional travel mugs with the flip top can be a simple way for employees to stock up on water at the cooler before heading back to their desks. Chances are if you have a water cooler, employees are wasting hours each and every year filling up tiny plastic or paper cups and bringing them back to their desks, before inevitably heading right back to the cooler and filling up a fresh cup. This means you are wasting cash from your company’s bottom line on cups and losing productivity at the same time.

These promotional travel cups are a wonderful gift for your employees and an easy way to help the company. Your employees will be thrilled to show off your company logo on these travel cups to and from work as well.

You might be surprised yourself at just how nifty these pocket knives, adorned with your own logo, will be.

Promotional Pencils for Educational Institutions

Published by in Business Promotional Items, Pen Facts, Pencil Facts, Promote with Pens on March 8th, 2013

promotional pensEducational institutions, be it an online college or a unique trade school, have to get their branding out there just as much as any other business. Entry applications and exams offer an ideal chance to hand out promotional pens or, assuming that form is a Scantron sheet, promotional pencils with your learning institution’s logo and information printed on it. Pencils are actually a lot more inexpensive than pens, for obvious reasons, but make a perfect promotional item for schools in particular.

If you are part of a school teaching younger kids, a pencil can be an inexpensive reward for a job well done or simply being well behaved. These pencils can become integral educational aids. For older kids in college or high school, they are probably using pens, but those Scantron multiple choice tests absolutely require pencils to properly fill them out.

Pencils might seem a little old fashioned, but for the right brands, old fashioned is actually pretty perfect. If you are looking for a cheaper way to promote your company with some branded items, pencils are a cost effective choice. For 5,000 units or more, the pencils are only $0.10 a piece from Pen Factory. Check them out today.
