You can NEVER have too many pens floating around an office and your employees should never need to search for a pen to use. Time searching is time wasted.

GOOD QUALITY FOLDERS OR NOTE PADS
Although it’s sometime hard to fork out the money on the better quality promotional products, items such as leather bound note pads or folders can do wonders for your employee productivity.
