Looking for something REALLY CHEAP. Why?

There are things out there besides cheap pens

It's kinda humorous, the "Can you help me" calls we get. See, we are promotional products consultants first, then sales people. The majority of people call us saying they need help, then saying their minds are already made up. "Really inexpensive pens" is what we hear most often.

We joke when we ask, "You mean the kind you steal from a motel?" Our bank gave us a pen which, at the quantity they purchased them, cost about 11 cents. Cheap? Yes. Leave an impression of a solid financial institution? Not really.

The idea of a promotional item is to leave a warm, fuzzy memory of you FIRST, then to increase your visibility and hopefully broaden your customer base (or base of friends; many folks have called us for awards and for wedding mementos.) So "really inexpensive pens" is not always the answer.

There are many thousands of inexpensive items out there which are NOT stick pens. Of those items there are hundreds of variations on a theme. When you seek promotional items, let your promotional goods purveyor HELP YOU! That's what we do.
