Many times you don't think about the writing instrument you're using, but Omaha Promos does a lot of custom writing instruments for our clients. Whether large batch promotions for universities and trade shows - or limited run, high end, custom writing instruments you're going to use for employee incentive or customer appreciation gifts, Omaha Promos has you covered.

Here's our quick guide on promotional pens to get you started!

First question you should ask yourself about your promo pen is this: gel versus ballpoint. These are the two most popular choices by way of basic pens and one of these two are in use from the boardroom to the construction site and everywhere in between. You know what ballpoint is, been around forever. The ink is thick, typically oil based and dries quickly, thereby avoiding smudges. The downside of ballpoint is these pens require more pressure with the writing hand which normally results in a less comfortable writing experience, particularly if you're going to be writing a long time. Gel rollers on the other hand use thinner, water based inks that roll more easily and require considerably less downward pressure while creating a bold, thick line. Bleed through can be problematic though, so make sure to have Omaha Promos walk you through the choices on the quality scale.

Next stop, the decision on plastic versus metal pens. Plastic pens are going to hit a certain price point and will cater to those businesses and non-profits trying to get their logo, colors or slogan exposed across a large audience. Trade show giveaways would be a prime example of the perfect place to utilize customized plastic pens from Omaha Promos. On the other hand, if giving higher end branded holiday gifts to your executive sales team or your best clients, any number of interesting metal pens would be the appropriate choice. Just know, don't think for a minute you can't get a metal barrel pen without breaking the bank on your promo marketing budget, because Omaha Promos has custom writing instrument options in all price categories!

Another important consideration for your promotional pens purchase is the size of the barrel and the grip. Generally speaking a larger barrel and a soft grip lend themselves to a more comfortable writing experience and less hand fatigue which can be an issue when taking notes (e.g. university students).  Get the job done right every time with a reliable, smooth-flowing pen with soft rubber grip from Omaha Promos!

Don't forget how much modern custom pen technology can play in your custom writing instrument choices. Omaha Promos can hook you up with stylus tipped pens, pens with built in flashlights for writing in darkened environments (perfect for servers at restaurants or night clubs), we even have a line of pens that feature laser pointers which have proven popular with our sales reps as they attend trade shows, conferences and the like and put on presentations and slideshows.
