Why The Pen Is As Popular As Ever

The pen has been an essential tool for many, many years. Yet it is used less than it used to be due to the developments in technology, such as the portable tablet and more efficient mobile phones that can take voice notes.

So is the pen on the way out? We don’t think so. Here are some key reasons why we believe the mighty pen is here to stay!

It’s always in your bag

A pen is always with you, in your jacket pocket, handbag or laptop case. It is perfect for writing down quick notes or exchanging phone numbers without the hassle of setting it up on your phone.

It does not rely on technology

Your pen will never need recharging or run the risk of running out of battery when you need it most. It will never need to update at the most inconvenient time and it will never be a victim to an online virus.

It is quick and cheap to replace

If your tablet or phone becomes damaged it can take time to replace it, as well as a lot of money. In the meantime your notes may be inaccessible and you will be prevented from making new ones. With a trusty pen you know you can always have access to what you have written and can continue writing for as long as the ink lasts.

It is a great promotional tool

Pens are a great way to advertise your business or service, easy to carry around in your pocket and a definite way to get into someone's hand. An email is more likely to be deleted, if it hasn’t already gone into the junk folder. A pen can work its way around to many more people than just the recipient too, so your reach has the potential to be even further.
