[O106]On The Dotted Line

by Gareth Parkin, Gar

One of the cheapest and easiest to acquire promotional items on the market is promotional pens. Coming in all colors and styles, promotional pens are not only compact and easy to find, but they are also one of the most useful promotional products you can consider giving. In our society, signing on the dotted line is a daily occurrence, whether it is to sign a credit card receipt, sign a contract, or even just to jot down a phone message.
It is wonderful to always have a stash of promotional pens available for your employees to give away to the customers. Having promotional pens with your business’s name and phone number or web address makes a whole lot of everyday tasks easier. If customers buy something and pay with a credit card, your workers can hand them a promotional pen to sign the receipt and then keep! When payment is by a check, handing over a promotional pen will save time, as opposed to the customer digging around in a briefcase or purse looking for a writing utensil. Promotional pens can also be placed next to cards for your customers to sign up for your company’s mailing list.
What is so nice about promotional pens is you can almost buy them for nothing! The cost of promotional pens in bulk is quite reasonable and the amount you get will last for months, maybe years! Not to mention that various styles of promotional pens are often found in promotional distributors “sale" and “discounted" items areas.
Most promotional pens come in the standard black and blue ink varieties, but occasionally you can find them with red or green ink. There are also the multi-colored promotional pens, which can change between many different colors. Which pens your company decides to purchase for an advertising campaign is really determined by the intended use, as blue and black is the color used most often. However, there are instances where numerous ink colors in one pen can be beneficial to your patrons.
Not only are promotional pens useful, but they are also a great form of continuous advertising. Each time the customer your company gave the pen to uses it, those around them may see the name of your business or logo. This can lead to curiosity about what your business has to offer and turn into web site hits or phone calls. There is also the possibility that the person you gave one of your promotional pens to will leave it somewhere and another will pick it up! There is no way to tell just how many people promotional pens reach once they start circulating!
Do not delay in looking into purchasing some promotional pens for your company’s next advertising campaign. Making this small investment in promotional pens can lead to profits that far exceed the cost! These promotional items will also last for a long time, so have quite the opportunity to bring your company big returns!

The AA states that over 50% of road users looking for a cheap car loan go to their bank manager. They also state that a quarter accept the first loan deal the showroom offers, 18.4 billion is loaned annually in personal loans.

If you are lucky enough to be in a position where you are in no need of a cheap car loan and can afford to pay cash for a brand new four wheel drive Mitsubishi or the economical Nissan Micra, then better still because you are now in the drivers seat - so as to speak i.e. for bargaining: Money talks - so barter for a discount.

Good deals come from shopping around. Depending on credit history there will be clauses, higher interest charges etc. If you have a bad credit rating you can still apply for a cheap car loan. Through bad credit - drivers are tempted to borrow from loan sharks - bad move.
