Yep, it sounds too good to be true but here at The Pen Warehouse we regularly give pens away free. Are we mad I hear you ask? Well we always like to think of ourselves a a little bit quirky but definitely not mad. How does this work?…… Here we go!
Our set up costs are fixed and are included in the unit cost of our pens. That is why small quantities cost more than large quantities. If I remember my days back at Uni correctly I believe this falls under the term ‘economies of scale’. In simple language the more you order the cheaper it gets – up to a point of course.
How does that give you free pens? Well, it is an industry standard, and for good administrative reasons our price breaks are quantity-specific, usually, 250, 500, 1,000, 2,000 etc. There will be a sudden drop in price as each of these quantities increase so prices are not an analogue of every quantity you may wish to order. For example, if you want to order 1,900 promotional pens instead of 1,000 you still pay the 1,000 rate even though you would have made a huge saving by increasing your order by jusy 100 pieces to 2,000 pieces. That is effectively free pens.
In addition to the above we often run promotions that actually include free extra printed pens. An example of this is if you have an enquiry for 1,000 pieces but are up against a competitor on a similar non-Pen Warehouse Pen, then as we have the machine already set and particularly on plastic pens we will throw in another 50 or so free of charge.
We don’t have set rules on this as we like to have spontaneous interaction with our distributors on the basis of ‘need’ and you will find the more you support us the more flexible we will be.
