Promotional pens

[Alibi Ike]

Good source for promotional pens please? I tried National Pen but their reviews are horrible. If you've had good luck, let me know. VP had them for over $3 each, not what I'm looking for.

I remember looking for this a long time ago when we covered this and couldn't find the same company, mine were only $.08 each! I wish I could find that company again! Stick Bick style - solid maroon with white writing were mine.

Thanks. It is interesting reading the reviews. The EXACT same review posted, word for word, multiple times by different people. I'm beginning to think the whole thing is a crapshoot. Maybe I'll be the lucky one, maybe not.

National Pen didn't provide me with very good service. But, I had ordered enough that didn't have to order more.

I make sure that whenever I order from vistaprint I get a free pen (you simply add one to your order) They are better value the more you get and write very well. I was given a pen by another B&B at a conference and was very impressed till I actually tried to write with it and it didn't work. so I would consider that as it won't do your image any good. I would order a very small amount from whoever you choose and give them a trial before ordering them in bulk.

Have you considered checking with a local advertising specialities company? I'd think they should be able to let you try samples. At least, that's my plan for when I get around to ordering pens...

Kk.

I did that. The price difference is over triple. After all the reviews I read I figured I might as well try local. Everything was more expensive. Pens, set up fees, color fees, and shipping. I may just call and say how I got this lovely pen at my dentist's office (I did) and I was impressed with the way it looked (I was) and could they do something like that for me? (This at one of those online places.)

Do you have a Sheltered Workshop in your area? The first time I thought about getting thos fly swatters the best I found online was (I think) 79 cents each IF I bought 5000. When I did get them several years later they were 49 cents each at the Sheltered Workshop and I only had to buy 2500. I have not looked at pens there - it was just a thought.
We have several in our States. The one near me does "soft" items (shirts, lunch bags, etc) and the one about 80 miles from me does "hard" items.
