[pianotech] promo pens

[Gerald Groot]

You're welcome Wim!  As I'm just home on vacation, this may have been
answered already but, I have 450 emails to sift through before I get to the
end of them all.  Delete, delete, delete..  :-)  

 

I figure this way, people will see my name and phone number almost every
time they use my pen.  When they do, they will obviously think of me.  It is
sort of like a refridgerator magnet but put to better use.  

 

For me, it is more of a gesture of good will and a thank you more than
anything else and of course, it is a form of advertisement as well but
either way, people appreciate handouts.  Especially something they can use.


 

This is where I get mine.  http://www.amsterdamprinting.com/  Every now and
then, they inform me of a sale on the pens I gave you for about 70 cents a
piece give or take.

At the convention, Jerry Groot gave me a pen with his name, etc. on it.
(Thanks Jerry, nice looking pen). Randy Potter gives them out, too. 

I, as I am sure others, have been approached many times by pen salesmen who
want you to buy them for customers. I've always resisted. (One guy told me
he "accidentally" printed 1000 pens with my name on it, and he would have to
throw them out if I didn't buy them. When I told him he misspelled my name,
he didn't hesitate one second and said he could change it, at no extra
charge). 

For those of you who give them out, what is your return of investment? Do
you actually get calls from people who saw your name on the pen? Or do you
just do it for good will, like buying an add in the high school chorus
concert program. 

Wim
