Pencils have a utility value as they are used frequently. Gifting imprinted pencils with your company name will ensure that your brand visibility goes a long way. Featured here are some popular varieties of pencils that you can consider giving away to your customers or employees:

1. Wood case pencils with an eraser on top: It is a convenient and inexpensive gifting option that is more traditional. These pencils will be widely appreciated by customers of all gender and age groups, especially by students.

2. Mechanical Pencils: These pencils are more sophisticated and come with a sleek metal barrel in glossy or matte finish. The advantage of mechanical pencils over wooden pencils is that they don’t need sharpening. And having an eraser at the end of the pencil is an added bonus.

Personalized pencils carrying your company logo is possibly one of the best and most useful business gifts that you can hand out to your customers.Include them in your marketing campaign and spread the word about your business!
