Welcome to promotional pencils where you will find an exciting collection of different types of pencils which can be decorated with your logo, slogan and contact details at very competitive prices. Promotional pencils make ideal business gifts and are one of the most straightforward choices in the many and varied assortment of promotional items currently available.

Why Choose Pencils?

Pencils are useful items that will be kept by their recipients for a very long time. Unlike promotional pens they can be used for making temporary notes and diary entries which can later be erased and changed. Traditional wooden pencils are far more tactile than pens and have a stronger link with creativity stemming from their use in schools and in Art, Design and Technology colleges.   From artists to architects, they all sketch with pencils before committing their work to permanency. Many charitable organisations use printed promotional pencils as fundraising items which they re-sell in their shops.

With most economies around the world taking a downward turn low cost promotional gifts are very much sought after by not only small and medium scale businesses, but also high profile companies.  The key to obtaining good mileage from your promotional efforts is to be creative.  Giving a unique gift that has not been seen before or using a common item in a creative manner are two ways of making a lasting impression on your clients.  Promotional pencils lend themselves perfectly to creativity; modern printing techniques allow full colour, high quality, photographic image reproduction covering the whole of the pencil.  Erasers can be functional, quirky or fun depending on your choice.

If you are looking for a more prestigious promotional gift, mechanical pencils are ideal for giving that little bit extra.  Available with plastic or metal barrels that can be printed or engraved, they will last much longer and so will your message.  As part of our commitment to environmental and social issues surrounding the manufacture of promotional pencils we are continually sourcing promotional products which conform to the highest standards.

How to choose promotional pencils

Choosing the most suitable promotional products is crucial to a company’s advertising performance. Using personalised gifts is a good move in the right direction. Many businesses today welcome this type of marketing campaign to help them target more customers. It is the best way to retain customer loyalty whilst building a steadfast customer base. Promotional pencils are one of the products that companies prefer to use for both internal and external branding.
Using promotional pencils is a simple and cost effective way of advertising. Whether the business is small or large, the benefits are vast. Pencils are affordable and are used quite frequently; businesses can give away custom-made pencils as gifts during trade shows and corporate events; they can also donate them to schools, colleges and other companies every now and then for promotional purposes. As the pencils are used, your branding will be seen and remembered time and time again.

Purchasing promotional pencils is not difficult. All that you need to do is ask your printer or stationery supplier to find you some. There are hundreds of different types of promotional pencils out there to choose from. Your local printer can assist in printing the name of the company, its contact details and website address onto the pencil.  To obtain the best results all pencils should be uniform in colour and branding, matching your corporate image.  Only a limited number of pencils may be required for a small enterprise whereas larger companies will require many more.  The size of your order and print run will depend on how long you want to run the promotion and to whom it is directed.  However, pencils don’t take up a lot of space in storage and provided the area is dry, they will be preserved for an eternity; so if you order more than is required you can save them up for the next promotion or use them as Tradeshow giveaways.

Your choice of pencil will also depend on what it will be used for and we, at promotionalpencils.co.uk, can advise you on which types of pencils are most popular with artists, architects, school children, tracers, music writers, astronomers and even brass rubbers.  Pencils may be very simple but they can be a whole lot more complicated when put to certain technical uses.

The quality of your pencils is important if you wish them to be used frequently.  Pencils that have flaking paint and cause splinters are not ideal for promotional purposes and always remember that the quality of your gift reflects immediately upon your image. The extra cost of quality pencils is negligible against cheaper alternatives so go for the best quality that your budget allows.

Using recycled pencils can add a “green” touch to your campaign. The recycled range of pencils is highly attractive both in appearance and in the ability to impress your customers.  These pencils are almost indestructible and don’t crack or splinter when dropped.  They are made from recycled paper, money, denim and even wood.   Choosing this type of pencil will certainly demonstrate your commitment to conserving trees and preserving the environment – a definite plus point against your competitors who may not have such ideals.

Designing your Promotional Pencils

Your promotional pencils should be bold and catchy but not flashy, with the imprint visible from several metres away. Your supplier will almost certainly have graphic design artists to assist you, so working closely with the supplier is important for your promotion to be a success.  Having produced possibly millions of pencils for many hundreds of clients, your supplier knows what works and what doesn’t; his experience in these matters is invaluable. Alternatively you may have your own design staff or wish to hire the services of a professional.  Whatever you decide the end result should be exact and perfect in every detail to reflect the product or service the pencils are designed to promote.
There are beautiful recycled foil pencils on which you can place your design to create a stunning and elegant, writing instrument; the quality black matt finished wooden pencils are fantastic for those companies who have oranges or reds in their corporate colours and the rainbow colour base is a fantastic choice for children.  You can design without limitations on promotional pencils.

How to use Promotional Pencils

Although promotional pencils make excellent marketing tools for those trades and professions that utilise them in the workplace such as carpenters, architects and educational facilities they can be used in a number of promotions where pencils are not specifically required.  Trade in programs are great ways of getting the branded pencils into the hands of absolutely everyone.  These programs involve trading in pencils for discounts, products or services eliminating customer dissatisfaction in receiving something that they may feel has low value.  Running a marketing campaign where promotional pencils are given away and then traded in for something else is an imaginative and novel way of making sure that your pencils are not thrown away but retained and used over and over again.  When they are traded in they can be given to other customers so that they also jump on the discount wagon.  These promotions can also be colour coded so that different colour casings or indeed, colouring pencils are exchanged for goods and services when the requisite number of colours have been collected. PromotionalPencils.co.uk can assist you in launching a program such as this.

No matter which way you use your pencils, they are by far the most economical form of advertising in the marketplace today.  They are useful, durable items that are used frequently and seen daily.  Despite the low cost, used in the correct way, pencils will enhance your brand awareness, encourage new custom and retain existing customer loyalty. They may be one of the cheapest promotional gifts available, but promotional pencils have a powerful and positive impact on your order book.

As Jon Bon Jovi once said, “Map out your future with a pencil.  The road ahead is as long as you make it. Make it worth the trip.”  Make promotional pencils part of your marketing strategy this year to put your company on the map and establish their worth to your organisation.
