We run an advertising specialty business here in our home town of Fort Myers, FL. We sell promotional items to local businesses and we also use them to promote our own business. Pens are one of the most popular advertising specialties of all time, maybe the most popular. We use them all of the time. One of us also works part time as a waitress at popular local restaurant. She always complained that they were running out of pens at the restaurant and a lot of time it’s the customers that “accidentally” walk away with them. She took a handful of our promotional pens into the restaurant for the employees to use.
