Writing instruments are an essential part of any office and can be used for a variety of purposes. They come in all shapes, sizes, colours and designs and are often used as promotional items in order to increase brand awareness. Here are a few fun facts about writing instruments we bet you didn't know about:
The Egyptians were the first to invent a writing instrument. They created it about 4,000 years ago and used it to write on papyrus. It was made from reeds that were dried out, sharpened at one end, then dipped in ink.
The average lifespan of a pen is around 6 months, but branded pens are used for over 2 years on average.
Branding pens is an effective way to promote your business.
Pens are one of the most popular promotional products, and for good reason! They’re useful and always in demand. Many people like to keep a pen handy in their pocket or purse; they also make fantastic stocking stuffers during the holiday season. Pens are great for any occasion because they’re small enough to fit in almost any bag without taking up too much space, but you can still write with them on even little scraps of paper if you need to jot something down quickly.
Pens have been around as long as there have been things that need writing on, so it’s no surprise that people love free pens from companies they know and trust—or even just like! A branded pen makes for a thoughtful gift that will most likely be used daily by the recipient (assuming it has an ink cartridge inside).
85% of people who receive a promotional pen or pencil will remember where they got it. This is because many people associate their favourite writing instrument with a certain person or company, and can be very loyal to the brand that gave them the object.
The pen is the most widely used writing instrument in the world, with over 290 billion pens currently in use. Pens are used for a variety of reasons—some people use them to write down their thoughts and ideas, while others find that they're great for taking down notes during meetings. They're also known as graffiti tools, which means that some people use them just because they can!
Promo pens also make a great promotional writing instrument because of their high value for money. The average pen can write about 45,000 words before running out of ink, which means that they are quite economical and cost-effective to use. These pens will not only provide you with an excellent writing tool but will also help you promote your name or business to the public.
Promotional pens are an effective way to advertise your brand, as they can be seen by many people at once. When someone sees someone else using your promotional pen or uses it themselves, they may think about what kind of brand would be associated with such an item and may want to learn more about it. They may even ask questions about where they could get one for themselves!
It is clear that pens are still an essential part of our daily lives, from schools to offices and even homes. They are a great way for people to express themselves and we hope you enjoyed learning more about this wonderful writing instrument!
