Editor’s Picks Showcase: Practical Multifunctional Pens
The traditional pen is a favorite among end-users of promotional products across many industries. And when a writing instrument is combined with another function – or even six – it’s sure to stand out from its peers.
Despite the many product categories now available within the promo industry, pens continue to be among the most popular. In late 2020, after demand for PPE waned slightly during the pandemic as the supply chain caught up to unprecedented demand, pens were once again first among the top 10 ESP search terms, according to ASI Research. And they’ve maintained their status every month since then. Writing instruments with more than one use – like the multifunctional branded pens shown here – are sure to garner numerous impressions for a brand.
