Promotional Pencils as Giveaways for Students

There's a group of people who may use pencils more than anyone else and that's High School and College students. Even though some homework assignments are done online, students still go use pencils for note taking, test taking, and many projects. So, it seems logical that this group of young people would be perfect recipients of promotional pens that feature your logo, artwork or marketing message.

There are some differences to keep in mind when handing out promo pencils to students. Primarily, marketers should go a little easier on the promotion. Students and most young people for that matter prefer a more subtle marketing approach and tend to shy away from the in-your-face marketing that some companies implement. Simply imprinting your logo and tagline on these custom pencils is a great way to get your brand name out to a group of individuals who will have increasing amounts of disposable income.

When it comes to selecting the right pencil, remember that students are not particularly picky when it comes to receiving something for free. As a matter of fact, the BIC "Best Pencil Value" is a great choice and is priced as low as $0.14 each in quantities of 1,000. These pencils feature a larger than normal imprint area, white barrel, long lasting eraser and the highest quality #2 graphite lead. And you can choose from 28 additional imprinting colors to add even more customization to your promotional pencil.

The best places to hand out your custom pencils are school fairs, school concerts, sporting events and of course the biggest student social event of the year - the high school prom.
