Promotional Material?

Hello,

I'm interested in purchasing promotional items such as pens and golf tees to promote my website, where I provide freelance web design services.

Everywhere I've looked requires I order 500-2000 pens as a minimum order, likewise with golf tees. I'd like to order such an amount but simply don't have the money :(.

Anyone know of anywhere that will take orders for small quantities?

Thank you.

    TBH, 500 isn't that many IMHO.

    You'd be surprised how quickly they go. Whether they work is a different matter.

    We have recently had some leaflets printed up to advertise something we are doing. 300 leaflets were £50 but 600 were only £60.

    You will probably find a similar thing with what you are looking to buy, the pens and ink aren't that expensive, its setting up all the tooling to print them that is expensive and you need that doing whether you have 1 printer or 1 million!

    Sorry if thats not the answer you wanted.

    BTW, how much are we talking here for 500 pens?

    Looking at around £160-200 for 500 pens.

    (Money I don't have :))

    Will just put it on hold for the moment. Thank you.
  • Hi Kilty

    first let me say i am not affiliated with this company, they sent me e card and pen for xmas advertising. The deal is a christmas card hotstamped in gold with a pen attached to the card with the same design on it as the card and allowing you to personalise the pen with up to four lines of text. There is also a foil lined envelope with it. You can have as few as 25 or as many as 500. the other half was quite impressed as they work out cheaper than going into a card shop and buying specialised cards.
