Sometimes The Pen Is Mightier Than The Flash Drive

A classic promotional product still has value in a high-tech world

Rick Cundiff


In our modern high tech world, it’s easy to lose sight of some classic products now and then.

For example, let’s say your office building has tile floors in the corridors. The newest cordless vacuum is sure a fancy way to deal with the dust and debris that accumulates on those floors.

Or take the standard promotional pen. You know the one. Click button on top, clip on the front, goes just about anywhere in a pocket or purse. They’ve been around for the better part of a hundred years. Boring old product, outdated by tablets, cell phones and the internet.

But here’s the thing. A competent housekeeping staff member can clean those corridors a lot faster with a plain old commercial dustmop and dustpan than with the flashier machine. You can get a dustmop in widths of 36,” 48,” or more. And you can buy a lot of them for the cost of one expensive vacuum cleaner.

It’s the same deal with promotional pens. Sure, you can get your name imprinted on power blocks, tumblers, just about any product you can imagine. But people still need pens. Whether for jotting a quick note, signing legal documents or filling out a job application or insurance form, a simple pen is often the best solution.

That’s where we come in. At TJM Promos we offer a wide range of pen choices from the basic stick pen with a cap, click pens, rollerball, gel ink and fountain pens. You can even have the best of old and new designs with a ballpoint pen that has a USB flash drive built in. Whichever style you choose, they’re one of the most cost-effective options we sell.

And of course, we can imprint your name, logo or motto on any of them. Put your brand right into your customers’ hands and they’ll remember you!

Call or email us today. Our trained, experienced staff can help you determine the best promo pens or other custom products for your marketing needs. When the ink is on the line, we have the write stuff!
