Options. It’s a great word, isn’t it? To those of us in the promo products industry, “options” indicate more creativity, more flexibility, and more branding potential.
Metal Classics with 3x the Imprint Options
More than a dozen metal writing instruments are now available in 3 different imprint options. If a customer is new to metal pens and laser engraving altogether, the standard laser engraving option is an affordable entry point to a traditionally expensive decoration method. Or, if they have a tried-and-true favorite metal pen that’s now available in full color, this is a great opportunity to see how their brand will look with a ColorJet™ imprint.
“Our goal here at Goldstar is to give our distributor partners the best options to promote each customer’s brand,” said Andy Crabtree, Goldstar Product Manager. “Whether you’re looking for the most affordable price point, quick-turn to meet an in-hands date, the largest engraving size, or a full color imprint, our imprint options offer more flexibility on some of our best-selling metal writing instruments.”
Distributor Tip: The price difference between each imprint option varies on average ~$0.20 each.
Let’s take a look at each imprint option below and its benefits.
