Pen heist

Promotional pens are the promotional product thirst that cannot be quenched. We froth at the mouth and water at the eyes for pens that can be personalized with our company names or logos. The issue at hand: "which pen should I use!?".

Fine writing instruments and their refills are our staple for office supply. Fountain pens, rollerball pens and stick ballpoint pens are mounded on our desktops and stocked in supply cabinets. Depending on our fancy, shopping wide selections of pens include ballpoint pens, fountain pens, ink pens, gel pens, rollerball pens and other notable implements online. It all seems to boil down to one's budget for either large audiences or the same budget for gifting colleagues (a more expensive pen). Fine pen brands include Waterman, BIC, Parker and Cross which make exquisite promotional items but for the colleagues closest to us. Perhaps we are gifting a 5-year employee but at what minimum however, suits one's budget for any of these purposes?

Iffy, isn't it? No one is going to setup their printing machine to output a single pen (unless it is a rich Mont Blanc, Pilot, Uni, Zebra or the like). The more pricey items I would think have a no minimum policy. What is your price range for a single, no minimum item such as an inexpensive pen? Is this factor is ultimately competitive as well. If a supplier's no minimum policy is for a $20.00 item, is there other suppliers who try to beat that? Setup charges are always more expensive. Setup charges on average are $30-$50 per color / per location (for items such as pens, not excluding engraving methods of laser printing). Does a no minimum product need to exceed at least the setup fee? It would be interesting to know from suppliers how this would be itemized and executed as well as which pens are the most popular for each of the above purposes.
