Pens are currently the #2 most searched product on ESP, and they're closing the gap with PPE to reclaim their rightful place at the top of searches. In 2020, masks received a whopping 60% more searches than pens, yet in Q1 2021, that percentage dropped to just 20%. It's only a matter of time before pens become the #1 promo product once more, which speaks to end-buyer demand for traditional hard goods of the "before times." If you haven't been presenting pens to your clients in lieu of only PPE and safety items, make sure they have a top spot in your sales calls moving forward.
