It may surprise you, but there’s still a growing interest in low-tech items like pens and paper. Turns out, many people are getting so much screen time that they’re looking for alternative ways to communicate and keep track of information. You can capitalize on this trend by helping bring handwriting back into vogue. How? Take a look at some exciting new ideas in the promotional notebook and pen marketplace. When you promote your brand with unique branded notebooks and pens, you’re giving your customers, employees and prospects exactly what they really want: a way to unplug.
Promotional notebooks and pens are perfect for when your customers are planning to journal about their day or just jot down a phone number. There’s something for everyone: the classically designed pen, the unique promotional pen with a message, even the long-time favorite fountain pens. Notebooks can be the standard spiral-bound or have a twist like a zip closure. Branded pens and notepads are practical giveaways and will have your customers, employees and prospects thinking of you with gratitude as they step away from the screen.
