Pen Warehouse Video Blog #2

Welcome to our second video blog, if this is your first time joining us then let me introduce myself; my name is Rob Hayes and I head up the marketing team here at The Pen Warehouse. I will be bringing you regular video blogs on the latest news from our business as well as updates on new products and services we are constantly developing for you, our network of loyal distributors.

In our first video blog I talked about the benefits of our recently redeveloped website www.pens.co.uk; we looked at the distributor’s blog section, the process we use in the allocation of leads to distributors and the options available to leave links to your website.

If you didn’t catch our first video blog then please feel free to view this on our website, it is located in the video blog category, under the latest news section on the right hand side of the home page.
Today, I am going to talk about the promotional pen product videos that we have spent the last year producing in order to provide you, our customers, with a unique value adding tool for your website.

Product videos offer the consumer an insight into a product and it’s attributes in a way that simply isn’t possible with a static image.

Video content offers a 360 degree view of the product and allows the viewer to understand how artwork will look when wrapped around the barrel of the pen, again, something isn’t possible with an static image on a website.

It is also important to consider the impact product videos will have on the way search engines value your website.

Firstly, by using product videos you are giving visitors to your site a reason to stay on your site for longer, your customers are more likely to sit and watch a 2 to 3 minute product video than they are to read 2 to 3 minutes of text about the same product.

Secondly, the emphasis search engines place on video content has increased recently – video content is now appearing in the natural listings. Check this out for yourself by searching for ”

We have currently produced around 80 product videos and we will continue to produce at least one per week for the foreseeable future.

Why not have a look at our Product Videos on www.pens.co.uk, if you would like to embed these videos onto your website, then please visit www.promotional.tv, our 3rd party service provider where simple, easy to follow embed instruction will show you, what you need to do.

Make sure you tune in soon for our next video blog update.

Pens are the perfect promotional item suitable for any company. No matter the nature of your business, using Promotional Pens can raise your company’s profile and generate new business.

Personalised Pens are inexpensive to produce and so for a few pence your business can place a product into the hands of present or prospective clients that will allow them to gain more information about your company or contact you if they need the products or services you provide.

They are an item most people can never have enough of and tend to share with friends and relatives. Co-workers often borrow them as well and always remember a nice pen. For the company that invests in them, they act as miniature billboards – the more people that see them the better.

Portability is yet another reason Printed Pens make great marketing tools for your company. Their portability helps in two ways- firstly, the person who receives them they can easily stick one or two of them into their pocket or folder and use them or share them with friends and family. Marketing agents can benefit from them being portable as well because it is easy for them to put a case or two into their vehicle and have enough to give to hundreds of contacts at a time as they aren’t bulky.

Low cost, utility, portability and visibility are important in a mass marketing giveaway product. When it comes to promotions few marketing items are as effective as promotional pens.

Promotional Pens as a Selling Tool

Pens are a key selling tool for business promotion. The number of ways to put pens into the hands of potential clients is only limited by your imagination.

Pens can be used as give-aways or tokens for potential clients. People understand the company has spent a substantial amount on pens and will keep them rather than toss them out with the unwanted advertisements.

Promotional Pens serve as an introduction to potential clients. But pens also pass from one person to another expanding your marketing reach past the sphere of contact to even more people.

If you’re in a retail establishment, rather than chain a pen to the counter, set pens in a holder on the counter near the register. Encourage each patron to use and take a new pen.

If your business plan includes the general public, think of all the places you’ve needed a pen and had to search to find one. Leave one of your promotional pens on the bank counter, near the restaurant register, and at the market check-out.

Having a good relationship with other businesses never hurt either. Offer a number of pens to the local hospital, school or pub. Anywhere someone may need a pen, let them find yours.

Printed Pens customarily offer three to five lines of information. Get the important information on the printed pen first:

Line One: Company Name
Line Two: Phone
Line Three: Web or Email Address
Additional Lines: Address or Business Motto

Business or industry fairs are the perfect place to give pens to anyone passing by. Presenting someone with a pen and a business card can set you apart from the rest. Once remembered, you’re well on the way to gaining additional business.

Personalised Pens not only share your information but they are indeed a useful item that will be kept, usually near the phone or in the desk which extends the reach of your marketing budget.

Planning ahead for special events creates a place for additional promotion. Simply adding “Thank you” to the top line provides one more way to personalise a pen. “Happy Holidays” as a tag line offers an opportunity to reconnect with former clients or remind friends and family to keep circulating your business information.

Pens are a cost effective sales tools for any company that is in it for the long-term. Looking for a quality promotional item that stays in circulation? Answer: Promotional Pens.
