Pens are a good promotional investment for moderate sized establishments,Advertising Pens  Articles as well as chains and bigger establishments.

By taking on a sort of butler on useful standby position, the lowly advertising pen creates an instant impression of helpfulness and handiness for the bank in the mind of the grateful customer. This message is replayed every time the customer reaches for her pen, reminding her, albeit subliminally, that her ability to write checks and jot notes has been brought to he by none other than bank Friendly and Helpful. Furthermore, whatever Bank Friendly and Helpful has chosen to have printed on its advertising pens will likely be read every time their customer reaches for her appropriated promo pen.

This promotes name recognition, another invaluable aspect to advertising pens.

Advertising pens, bought at moderate cost, generate an association of hospitable service in the mind of the customer. Add name recognition and a bit of advertising into the mix and its clear that advertising pens are a great value.
