1. Business card alternative: Next time you meet a prospective customer, hand them a promotional pen instead of (or in addition to) a regular business card. It definitely won't get chucked into the garbage! The #1 Selling Bic Round Stic costs about the same as a high-quality business card, but makes for a much bigger impact.

2. Lumpy mail: Pique their curiosity with a lumpy envelope - with the lump being a colorful Bic Click Stic Foil, of course! Include a promotional pen in your direct mailings, and they're sure to be opened.

3. Special delivery: Always include a promotional pen with every order you mail to your customers. Take advantage of the #1 Pen Deal On The Web to order a batch of these handsome, expensive-looking pens at buy one get one free pricing. Your customers will be delighted with this high-end bonus item.

4. Felonious temptation: Do you keep pens around your office for customers to use? Increase their temptation to take a couple home by upgrading to the Bic Pivo Chrome Twist Action Pen. That's right - encourage your customers to get in touch with their inner kleptomaniac. With your pen out and about, tons of people will see your logo.

What's the one universal item found on every school supply list? Pencils! It's nice to know that some things never change…and something else that never changes is the promotional power of the pencil. Combine the two and you've got back-to-school pencils with major marketing potential. Have the pencil imprinted with your company's name and a sentiment for a great school year.

Now that you've got the pencils, here are 4 ways you can put 'em to work: 

1. Hand out pencils at summer festivals and fairs. The Best Value Pencil comes in 15 eye-catching colors. With no set up charge, it's priced right for giving away truckloads!
2. Keep lots and lots of pencils on hand at your store or place of business. Give them out generously to anyone who comes in. The Best Natural Wood Pencil is a classic, and it appeals to adults as well.
3. Donate a large quantity of pencils to area schools. They can be used in the classroom, by teachers or as prize incentives for good grades and behavior.
4. Donate pencils to charities that collect school supplies for low income families. A Bic Mechanical Pencil with Color Rubber Grip would be a real treat for kids who wouldn't otherwise get cool pencils.

With low prices and the seasonal tie-in, promotional pencils for back to school are a can't miss for summer marketing.

Anyone can set up a booth and hand out business cards, but it takes a savvy networker to make solid contacts. Here are four tips for making the most out of your next tradeshow - all of which can be done with a simple promotional pen or pencil!

1. Build up some hype: Get in touch with your customers and other contacts in advance. Let them know you'll have a booth at the tradeshow and encourage them to attend. Leave them some promotional Bic Clic Stic pens (one of the top selling pens in the whole world!) as a reminder.
2. Stand guard at the door: Post a couple of representatives near the entrance. Be the first to greet visitors as they walk in the door. Hand them a Best Value Pencil with your business card attached and ask them to visit your booth.
3. Always attach a business card: Attach a business card to every promotional product you hand out. Potential clients can stick it in their rolodex - making them more likely to remember you (and contact you).
4. Reserve something special for the best leads: Appeal to the ego a bit with an exclusive promotional product just for top contacts. If you're handing out promotional pencils, reserve a high-end pen for the important visitors. For a handsome pen that belies its low price, check out the #1 Pen Deal On The Web.
   

With these four simple steps, you can maximize your tradeshow networking potential.

Here's another photo I snapped while traveling this week. Promotional Pens are probably the number one promotional product to boost your business. The importance is to create a new saying, or a fun, witty remark on your pen - stray from the standard and you'll get noticed.

The quality of your promotional products says a lot about the quality of your company. Imagine what potential customers would think if they started writing with your promo pen only to wind up with ink all over their hands?

For top quality promotional pens, stick with Bic! In 1945, Bic was born in a French factory. Since its humble beginnings, Bic has sold more than 100 billion pens. If that's not a testament to quality, I don't know what is!

There's a lot more to Bic than the clear, hexagon-shaped Cristal ballpoint pen. Check out some of these colorful and high-end Bic pens for your next promotional giveaway:

Bic Clic Stic: An absolute classic, this pen comes in more than a dozen colors. Plus, a single Bic pen can draw a line that's 3 kilometers long before it runs out of ink!

Bic Pivo Clear Twist Action Pen W/ Gold Plated Ring: A twist pen stands out more than a click pen or cap for when you really want to make an impression. The colors are bold and hip. With pens like these, it's no wonder that Bic sells 57 pens per second.

Bic Duo Twist-Select Highlighter/Pen: A two-for-one that doubles your promotional mileage!

If you're going to attach your company to a brand name product, there's nothing better than Bic. Connecting your name with this world famous, well-respected brand instantly boosts your credibility.
