Why a customised pen makes the perfect corporate gift

Whether you run or represent a small, medium or large business, the chances are you give corporate gifts on occasion.

Choosing what to buy and gift can be difficult, especially if the person who is doing the buying doesn’t know the recipient personally — which is nearly always the case when it comes to big businesses.

So, it would be ideal if there was a gift that covered all bases, wouldn’t it? A gift that nearly everyone would appreciate, and that you could give to both clients and employees.

We believe an engraved pen in the answer — we explain why below.

What is a corporate gift?

Corporate gifting has become an integral part of running a modern business and, in short, it is the act of gifting clients and employees on behalf of the business.

Why are these gifts given? Well, there are many reasons, but we have listed some of the main ones below.

Clients/customers

  • Christmas gifts for clients
  • Gifts for visiting clients or clients you are visiting
  • Delegate gifts
  • Promotional gifts
  • Marketing products

Employees/staff

  • Retirement gifts for employees
  • Thank you gifts for staff (employee appreciation)
  • Gifts rewarding employee loyalty
  • Gifts encouraging employees to continue to work hard
  • Gifts to celebrate employee promotions
  • Gifts to commemorate staff anniversaries
  • Gifts for employee birthdays
  • Christmas gifts for employees

Why a customised pen makes the perfect corporate gift

Pens are a practical and useful small corporate gift, which in itself is wonderful, but they are also a meaningful gift. Once you transform that basic pen into a luxury branded pen, then you’ve got a gift that is truly going to wow — whether you are presenting it to an employee, a client, or using it for promotional purposes at an event.

A personalised pen is a corporate gift that will be with the recipient for many years and will leave a lasting impression — every single time the recipient gets the pen out to write down a note, they will be visually reminded of your business.

Whether branded with a logo or personalised with a name, a luxury corporate pen is a writing instrument that anyone would be proud to use.

If you are an eco-friendly business, or a business working on your eco credentials, then it is also worth noting that a quality pen is a more sustainable option for your business than disposables.

If you are in the process of rewarding hard-working employees or sending thank you gifts to clients, then we can help — whether it’s one customised pen or 5,000.

Likewise, if you’re browsing for premium gifts for your boss, then a personalised pen would be ideal for their desk or for them to use in meetings.

As a long-term stationery lover, I adore working for The Pen Company. My childhood saw me carrying around a little red briefcase covered in stickers and full of pens, paper and other such goodies; my adulthood sees me doing pretty much exactly the same!
