I always recommend allowing yourself as much time as possible to find the best promotional pens for your business. Sometimes, however, that simply is not possible. If you are invited at the last minute to speak at a conference or a friend phones you up in an excited frenzy about an exhibition next week that is perfect for your range of products, what do you do? Well sit back and let me give you five tips that will ensure you get the best pens for your money.

Keep your design simple

Of course this is not always possible but if it is keeps it simple. Depending on your lead-time and budget, you may be limited to a one color print on the barrel. Most pens that can be printed for express dispatch are manufactured for the promotional gifts industry. They offer nice large print areas on the barrel for your logo and details. Keep you design simple and ensure that your logo and contact information can easily read without squinting.

Remember, if your target customers have to squint to read they probably won’t!

Where to look if you have a more complicated design

Not too many years ago, printing in full color onto pens was simply not possible. When it became possible, it rarely looked very good. Times have changed1

That said, there still are not many pens you can have printed with complicated and colorful designs in a hurry. Therefore I would like to point you toward the Spectrum pen, the Future Pen and the Abacus bullpen. The Spectrum is a plastic low cost pen that I have personally used to promote my own business.

I have also used the Abacus which is slightly more expensive. I have not personally used the Future pen for my business but I know from customer feedback that this metal pen is a winner.

The Abacus and Future pens take about seven working days but the Spectrum you can have tomorrow. How fast is that!

What brands should I look for?

The before mentioned pens are all good quality generic pens that can be printed fast. If you need pens in the next couple of days and you want brand name quality, look at the large selection of Senator Pens that can be printed in as few as five day. The Senator Super Hit can be printed in as few as eight hours.

Promoting with giveaway key chains propose a lot of benefits for your business. Increasing your brand to prospective customers can be time consuming and costly. Promotional work is a decisive concern that you need to address if you want to lift exposure of your business. But using the conventional medium of advertising may not attain the goal that you desire for your business.

Expending on personalized key chains, on the other hand, can deliver considerable investments for your company. This will allow you to fixate on the more imperative aspects of your business. At the same time, they save you from the trial of having to worry about how much to allocate for advertising efforts. Although they require minimal investment, the potential output associated with capitalizing these items makes your investment worthwhile.

Nowadays, discharging brochures or pamphlets in strengthening your brand no longer makes sense. The money that you put in on general advertising will likely pour down the drain because potential customers would not even spend time reading the information on the material. Distributing a custom key chain is the better option because your intended recipient will be more interested in an item that is beneficial to them.

With customized key chains, you will never run out of promotional ideas with the wide array of items to elect from. So whether it’s a vinyl or silver key tag, the decisive thing is to find the item that is most applicable to your business. With plenty of options to choose from, meeting the right key holder for you is effortless. With your company name and logo imprinted on the item, you can foresee continuous buildup of your business.

An essential consideration is to check that the letters or colors of the key tag can be seen your target recipient. Adding an appealing message on the corporate gift can help take hold of the recognition of your customer. There is a myriad of suppliers extending logo imprinted key holders so pick the offer that suits your budget and of course advertising needs.

So let custom made key chains handle your promoting needs. Believe me, consuming on promotional gifts is the best setup that you can make for your business. The investment may be small but in the end you can look forward to getting excellent results. Drawing the profits of your decision at the soonest possible time is a feasible possibility.

While Business Shirts with a logo have been around for a long time, the general practice is to only put the logo on golf or polo shirts and leave the dress shirts alone.

Some say that displaying your logo on a dress shirt is a bit too tacky for the boardroom atmosphere. I disagree. A company is about business. Some companies have specific dress codes. What better dress code than to actually wear the company colors?

If you are trade-show bound, then wearing a business shirt with a logo is not only a good idea, it’s almost a requirement. Trade show attendees will meet hundreds of people. By the end of the day, names and faces blur. If while they are talking to you, they are also looking at your logo — you have greatly increased the odds that when it comes time for the follow up phone call, they will have an easier time of associating you and your face with the company, which of course increases the chances of a successful beginning to a new relationship.

Making the logo look good on a dress shirt can be harder to pull off, but very doable.

First consider your logo: Is it “busy” or “plain”? Putting a loud logo on a loud shirt is akin to wearing stripes with plaids (not that anyone wears stripes or plaids any more). Clashing colors doesn’t project the profession image that you are going for.

If you have flexibility with your company’s logo colors, you can easily arrange for combinations that work well together. If your company policy about the logo colors is stricter, then you are of course more restricted when it comes to shirt colors. If you are also wearing a tie, you need to be even more mindful that you present a neat professional appearance.

The option I prefer is a tone-on-tone approach. For example, If you logo is mostly blue, sew it on a blue shirt. Even if the thread matches exactly, you get a subtle almost embossed sort of look – very classy. A different shade of blue also has a softer look – your logo won’t jump off the shirt like a billboard, but will be visible in a very professional understated sort of way.

Wearing business shirts with your logo is just one way to leverage your advertising dollars and project a consistent and professional image.
