It doesn't matter where or who you leave pens with because they are one of few items that usually bounces around from person to person. If it is not against your workplace rules then pass some out to your coworkers and leave a few in the cafeteria.

Using pens to get leads, are you F joking??? *(I have just finished boxing training and I'm in no mood for this b.s.)*

Please share with us the type of results you have been getting from using pens to get leads.

Who are you to be giving marketing advice? Have you even used this method yourself or have just read it in a book?

I am really over reading this type of bad advice on here, it is so clear to me that this person knows nothing about marketing and should not be giving this bad advice.

Take care
Dave

p.s. If you feel the same way or if you think that I am being to harsh please let me know..

Thanks

Please share with us your NEGATIVE results of using this method, as obviously if you're so against it, you MUST have tried it...right?

This isn't some break-through "offline marketing" technique this guy just came up with. It's been around for a LONG time, and it has proven itself as a way to get clients who have forgotten about you. Just like giving away calendars, magnets and anything at all that will sit in your clients office with YOUR AD on it.

You're literally giving every potential client a long term advertisement for your business, and if you think that's a bad idea then you definitely have a lot to learn abour marketing.

This is Basic Marketing 101.

I used to work with a courier company who got their 2nd largest client from a pen that was left with someone in the receiving department. That was a 6 figure client that came from a pen.

Thanks

You can place regular display advertisements in newspapers, another powerful offline marketing method. Go through your local newspaper and ask yourself where a small ad might be effective.

If you start off with a modest sized ad that is only an inch or two, the cost won't be very high. Make sure your ad is placed in the best section of the paper for what you are offering; in this way you can be found by droves of people who would never have seen an online ad.

You might even try offering a coupon code to newspaper readers so that you can track how well your ad performs. You want your ads to be noticed, so you should have attractive and catchy graphics in your ads!

If you ask me, this post was automated. Or it sure seems like it. Read how the OP addresses us?

Then read the first paragraph?

Then read everything else and it seems like he started copy and pasting some proper stuff from somewhere, because every above the 2nd paragraph makes no sense at all.
