Promotional Antibac Pen – the Way Forward?

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Promotional pens are the most popular promotional gift in the industry, and for good reason. They come in all kinds of styles to suit your particular promotional needs, they are universally useful, easy to distribute, well accepted, and importantly, they fall within most budget parameters. From budget options for mass marketing, to high quality executive style metal pens there is a promotional pen suitable for any occasion.

Although new styles and options of promotional pens are brought to the market all the time, the new and innovative promotional Antibac Pen is something entirely different. This is a pen that pushes the frontiers of technology to help fight the spread of superbugs. The unique antibacterial properties of this pen are actually moulded into the pen; not just superficially applied. This means that it continues to kill 99% of harmful bacteria and viruses throughout its lifetime. To ensure the integrity of the Antibac Pen is maintained during the branding process, the inks used to imprint your corporate designs and details also contain the antibac compound.

The Antibac Pen will undoubtedly be incredibly useful in healthcare situations, such as hospitals, clinics and doctors’ surgeries, but their bug-busting qualities mean they have immediate application in any situation where many people may use the same writing equipment. Supermarkets, banks, offices, schools, customer service counters to name but a few, will appreciate the qualities of this pen to cut the transfer of infections around the community.

Have these pens imprinted with your company details as promotional gifts and ensure your target market know the unique properties of this ground-breaking promotional pen. Your thoughtfulness and innovation will earn plenty of ‘brownie points’ with your target audience.

Promotional Gifts are an Important Marketing Medium

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

It is important to recognise the potential of promotional products as part of a whole marketing and branding strategy. Promotional items, if well chosen and properly employed, can be a very efficient and cost effective advertising tool for any company. This is why even large well established companies continue to distribute small imprinted promotional gifts such as mugs, pens, key rings and umbrellas to their customers. It is also the reason why when major companies hold conferences and meetings, the delegates are equipped with conference folders and conference bags to take away from the event. Discussions are easily forgotten afterwards, printed handouts, information and fliers may only be considered useful at the time but quickly consigned to the bin; only your promotional merchandise may survive to act as a reminder of the associated event. These useful items, printed with advertisements, can be used every day over a period of time, ensuring plenty of exposure for the marketing messages they display.

When considering products to include in a marketing campaign, many make the mistake of underestimating the lead-time necessary to procure the required promotional merchandise and have it printed and delivered. The task may be considered as trivial or secondary, or perhaps the inclusion of promotional products as part of the marketing plan is only considered if there is some budget left after everything else is taken care of. The truth is, however, that promotional gifts are possibly one of the most important things given out during an event because they may be the only items taken away as a reminder.

Promotional items are an important element in any marketing campaign and should be properly accounted for in the initial budget. Well considered and carefully chosen promotional gifts can have enormous marketing and advertising impact. If utilized properly the potential return on investment can be huge.
