Top 5 Eco-Friendly Promotional Pens

Published: 2021-11-30 Author: Lisa Horn

When you began working this morning, did you take notes during a zoom meeting, jot down a reminder or make a to do list? Perhaps you signed a birthday card, wrote in your gratitude journal, or doodled on a sketchpad while sipping sweet tea and watching the kids play? Chances are you do many of these things regularly. Did the pen you used have a logo on it? Was the logo yours? 

Every year, more than $1 billion is spent on promotional writing instruments. Why? Because they are universal, useful and effective. 

If you’re not using writing instruments as part of your brand building strategy, you’re missing out. Research shows that promotional writing instruments are kept an average of nine months, garner 3,000 impressions throughout their lifetime and have a cost-per-impression of less than 1/10 of a cent (based on $1 cost). 

Want to put the power of the pen to work for you while choosing a more sustainable option? These eco-friendly promotional pens are all the “write” stuff.

Wheat Writer Dash Pens

When it comes to eco-friendly promotional pens, the Wheat Writer Dash is one of our faves. You’ll love the vibrant orange, blue and green hues along with the sophisticated grey and natural—all trimmed out with silver plunger, clip, tip and accent stripes. Since these pens are made from wheat straw polypropylene, they contain 50% less plastic than conventional pens. The reclaimed stalks from harvested wheat are renewable and sustainable, and there’s no indication of extractable gluten in testing. 

Don’t wait to add the Wheat Writer Dash Pens to your next promotion. Contact us to get all the details on this top seller today.

rPET Oasis Pens

If you think these eco-friendly promotional pens look exactly like popular water bottles, you’re right. The rPET Oasis Pens are made from recycled polyester (rPET) that is obtained by melting down existing plastic bottles and creating new polyester fiber. The translucent blue barrels are accented with black, blue, green, orange or red plungers to coordinate with your imprinted logo. Since the Oasis is made from post-consumer plastic bottles, they are recyclable at the end of their lifecycle.

Writing Your Next Eco-Friendly Promotional Campaign

While a lot of business has shifted to virtual, writing instruments still have a role to play in promotional campaigns. People will always have a need to write, so make sure the pen they reach for is yours. 

Giving eco-friendly promotional pens is a great place to start because 42% of people have a more favorable opinion of an advertiser if the promotional products they receive are environmentally friendly. This jumps to 49% if recipients are female and more than 57% if they are ages 18-34. 

To create a more substantial gift, combine eco-friendly promotional pens with eco-friendly promotional journals and use the duo for direct mail campaigns that support virtual events, remote employee onboarding programs or client thank-you gifts. 

Going eco-friendly is a simple switch, as there are sustainable options for pretty much all your favorite products that not only look great but are also priced attractively.
