Pricing and Costs of Promotional Pencils

Find the least expensive promotional pencils to advertise your business

By Terri Deno
Many businesses look for custom ways to advertise, and a great way to do this is with imprinted pencils. This type of advertising has been around for many years, and it continues to be a staple for many small businesses. In order to find promotional pencils that fit your budget and also give you the advertising that you need, consider the type of information that you want on a promotional pencil. In many cases, you will have to pay by the letter.

While most logo pencil suppliers charge by the letter or the line, there are other additional features that can add to the cost, but also make your advertising unique. These are:

1. Use of multiple colors for the writing or logo.

2. Getting your company's logo and name printed on the promotional pencil.

3. Using a specialized font for your message.

 

Choose simple customized pencils to get the lowest cost

A No. 2 lead pencil is the cheapest promotional pencil option. This type of pencil costs under $0.25 per pencil, as long as your minimum order is at least 1,000. And even though this is the budget option for businesses, you still have the ability to customize the message and choose the color of the promotional pencils.
Try: EPromos provides its solo value budget promo pencils for those looking to spend the least amount of money. Dollar Imprint provides a similar choice, and its pencils are also available in smaller quantities.

Get mechanical personalized pencils for added value

While traditional logo pencils will provide effective advertising, you and customers can both benefit from mechanical promo pencils. These pencils are designed to be reused, so although they are typically twice as much as regular pencils at under $0.50 for 1,000, your customers will be able to use them for a long time to come.
Try: Inkhead provides mechanical promotional pencils in five different colors and also has a smooth thumb grip feature. Sharper Brand offers a similar model for high visibility of your logo and brand name.

Purchase custom pencils that offer unique features

If you have a lot of money to spend on promotional business pencils, choose a type of pencil that will really stand out from the ordinary. These pencils may feature custom colors, sizes or functions that you cannot find in a traditional promotional pencil. However, the price of these pencils can range from $1.00 to $6.00 per unit, and may still require a large minimum order.
Try: Motivators offers a mini mechanical pencil that clearly promotes your logo while still providing a comfortable size to fit any purse or pocket. Empire Promos provides a mechanical pencil that accounts for the pull of gravity when you write.

 

  • Since pricing and costs of promotional pencils can get expensive when you add extra features, look for companies that offer free samples of promo pencils to get a better idea of how the finished product will look.
