5 Reasons to Get an Engraved Pen

As an entrepreneur, you’re undoubtedly constantly writing something or jotting down notes. If you work in an office, taking notes by hand is essential sometimes. Even writing quick notes or making a grocery list requires some kind of writing utensil.

Besides, having a pen around is always a good idea. Whether you’re planning to get one for yourself or for a close friend/work colleague, giving the gift of an engraved pen is a fantastic way to show appreciation for someone.

They also make a fantastic promotional item for potential clients. Imagine having your business name and info available to anyone who has one of your pens. Here are a few reasons to consider getting an engraved pen.

High Quality

If there’s one thing you can say about pens it’s that they are an incredibly useful and worthwhile thing to have around. You never know when you’re going to need to write something down, jot down a few notes, or make some adjustments to something you’ve already written.

Having a complement of pens around is a great idea and you can go beyond the cheap office supply store variety. Engraved pens offer a high quality, detailed etching (often accomplished using a diamond point or rotary blade) and are designed to last a long time.

So, what makes a pen high quality in the first place? Aside from the elegant and meticulously crafted engraving, the physical construction of the pen needs to be sturdy.

The barrel–the part of the pen that contains the ink, any clicking mechanisms, and spring–should be made from high-quality materials. The internal parts of the pen need to live up to those same standards.

When you’re writing with a pen, it should feel smooth. These are all markers of high quality and functionality. But the quality standards don’t apply strictly to the pen itself. Think about the box it’s going to come in and how the engraving is done.

Going the extra mile in search of the utmost quality will ensure the best possible gift of a pen for any potential recipient.

Professional and Personalized

Nothing says “professional” quite like a pen, but it’s always nice to have that extra personal touch. Really, an engraved pen is a good gift for anyone from your friends and colleagues to regular and new clients.

If you’re advertising your business, you can engrave your logo or business name, address, phone number, and email on each pen. That gives it a personal and professional touch that will make your organization stand out in the person’s mind whenever they use the pen.

How’s that for a return on investment? Your colleagues and customers get an exquisite gift while you get your name out there or make a nice inscription for someone you care about deeply. Some pens can come in a gift box for that extra touch of elegance and are often available in sets.  

Sleek Design

When you’re giving gifts to the people in your life, you want to get them something that really moves them. The sleek and often elegant design of high-quality engraved pens means that you can do exactly that while also providing a very useful gift and getting your name out into the world. Plus, these kinds of pens are easy to make with no investment merch creation tools.

An engraved pen will likely have a silver color (although other colors are available) and the etched design means whoever is using the pen won’t ever need to worry about the design/logo/text ever wearing off with use or storage.

As far as generating positive impressions and lasting memory of the engraving goes, this is perfect. Customized pens can be ballpoints, rollerballs, fine points, marker points, gel, or retractable.

There are so many options from which to choose, and there’s a pen for every occasion. Since you’re giving someone a fancy, engraved gift, the pen’s finish is important too. It should look sleek, in a resin, metal, celluloid, silver, or wood finish.

Ultimately, the design should look good and match the tone/values of the business you’re representing or that of the individual to whom you’re giving the gift. 

Functional

When all is said and done, a pen is just an extremely functional gift or giveaway item. Aside from the obvious writing ability, a pen can come in handy across myriad situations. Having a pen available is great in a pinch, but they are sometimes available with other functional accessories.

Sometimes, a pen can include a flashlight, screwdriver, or stylus tip in addition to the ink. Whatever the case or style, an engraved pen is about more than mere aesthetics alone. If the pen doesn’t actually write or produce markings on paper, it’s not functional at all. In fact, this calls the quality into question.

The same goes for broken, faulty, or missing components. The pen should stand up to some use and storage alike without experiencing any problems.

If it doesn’t, then it won’t make a very good gift at all — and giving away a lackluster pen will potentially undo any positive thoughts associated with your brand. 

Triple Purpose

Many of these engraved pens have a dual function: as a stylus and a pen! But the third purpose is to drive awareness of your organization to others. Engraving your business information or custom logo on a pen that you’re giving away is just good marketing practice.

Given the propensity for most people to carry around devices that use capacitive touch screens, it’s never a bad idea to have a stylus around. They can be useful in some situations, especially for those of us with slightly larger fingers who might accidentally hit the wrong letters on our phone/tablet’s on-screen keyboard.

Who knows when having a stylus will come in handy for some precision work on your tablet, phone, or touchscreen laptop? The pen portion works great as well in a pinch.

Conclusion

To a large extent, having a three-in-one purpose for each pen will give it more value to your gift recipients and demonstrate absolute class when it comes to giving gifts or promotional items away in the future.
