Default Great Pens
I have used National Pen to order my pens. They are good quality and are the lowest priced that I have come across. Plus they have hundreds of styles. I just wanted to share this with everyone. Hope it comes in handy.

Thanks for the info. I'm thinking of putting together a nice welcome kit with a pen.

Which pen model/design did you find the most success with?

Do you hand them out randomly or do you send them in a packet of some kind?

Thanks again.

Janine

I personally love the cirrus pen. The blue 'ink' ones are on sale right now. A local bank uses the same type of pen and I've seen a lot of people using them. I've also heard people talking about them. That's how I discovered them. I bought 150 of them a while back and was out in no time. So I had to order more.

I second National Pen, my electrician recommended them to me so I bought a whole bunch at one time. They send me samples at least once a month of different styles. So when it's time to re-order that is where I am going back to.

I have used Amsterdam Printing for our pens. I only buy the ones on sale - their sale prices are really good. I would recommend them. Janine Raj

I purchased a small amount of pens from VistaPrint along with the free offer. I am satisfied with them, but I think I will look at National Pen since they seem to have a large selection. Thanks for the info on National Pen.

I also use Amsterdam for pens they send samples as well once a month of different pen styles and the ink quality is very good, I've used National once before when I did childcare and they did go quite quickly. Nebs is another company to check out as well, they have pens and other items to pass out.

Good information. I have made note of these sites as I will be getting my pens and so forth in the coming weeks as the business progresses toward the grand opening.

Thanks, Amy

Thanks for the advice. I usually use Vista Print but their pens are a bit pricey.
