Promotional gifts with your logo? This pen does more than you think

Relatiegeschenken met logo NFC pennen

A pen with a company logo is probably one of the most familiar promotional gifts. You’ll find them at trade shows, business meetings and in welcome packs. It’s hardly surprising: pens are practical, affordable and used regularly. But what if that same pen could do more than just write?

With an NFC pen, you can give a traditional promotional gift an extra function. Alongside your company logo, the pen contains a small chip that allows someone to instantly open your website, digital business card or another online page. This combines a physical promotional gift with the benefits of digital networking.

Why do businesses choose promotional gifts with their logo?

Promotional gifts with your logo are a simple way to keep your business in people’s minds. Whether you’re thanking a customer, meeting new business contacts or attending a trade show, a practical gift can help keep your company name visible.

These days, businesses can personalise all kinds of promotional gifts, from water bottles and notebooks to bags and pens. However, finding something that’s both original and useful isn’t always easy.

That’s why unique promotional gifts can make a difference. They give you the opportunity to offer something that not only displays your logo but also provides real value to the recipient.

An ordinary pen with a smart extra feature

With a traditional promotional pen, the focus is mainly on the printing. Your logo, company name or website appears on the pen, and that’s usually where its functionality ends. An NFC pen works a little differently. Inside the pen is a small NFC chip. When someone holds a compatible smartphone near the pen, a notification appears on their screen. With a single tap, they can open the programmed link. The recipient doesn’t need to install a special app.

For example, you can link the pen to:

  • Your company website or a specific landing page.
  • A digital business card with your contact details.
  • An online brochure or product catalogue.
  • A registration form for an event.
  • Your LinkedIn profile or other social media channels.
  • A careers page or a limited-time promotion.

This turns an everyday item into another opportunity for people to connect with your business.

Personalised promotional gifts with an extra feature

When it comes to personalised promotional gifts, appearance often plays an important role. A recognisable logo, matching colours and high-quality printing help ensure the gift reflects your brand identity. Wizard Card’s NFC pens can be printed in full colour on both sides. For example, you could place your company logo on one side and an NFC symbol with a short instruction on the other.

The pens are available in eight colours: blue, black, green, red, purple, white, orange and yellow. This allows you to choose a colour that suits your organisation.

What makes these pens special is the combination of custom printing and digital functionality. While many branded promotional gifts are mainly designed to increase brand visibility, an NFC pen also makes it easy to share information instantly.

Ideal for trade shows, events and customer interactions

An NFC pen can be used in a variety of ways.

At trade shows and events

Visitors often receive several brochures, business cards and other giveaways. With an NFC pen, you give them a practical product that also allows them to access your website, brochure or trade show promotion later on.

As a promotional gift for customers

Want to thank your existing customers? You can have a pen printed with your company logo and link it to a personal message, a dedicated webpage or your business contact details.

During business meetings

An NFC pen can also be useful for account managers and sales representatives. You’re giving someone a pen that’s practical during the meeting, while also making it easy to share your digital business card.

For recruitment campaigns

Businesses can hand out NFC pens at job fairs, open days or other recruitment events. By linking the pen to a careers page, interested candidates can instantly find out more.

What about sustainable promotional gifts?

Sustainability is an important consideration for many organisations when choosing promotional products. When looking for sustainable promotional gifts, it’s worth considering not only their appearance but also the materials used and how practical they are.

Wizard Card’s NFC pens are made from recycled ABS plastic and steel. They also combine the functionality of a regular pen with a digital feature. This doesn’t automatically make the pen more sustainable than every other promotional gift. However, it does offer multiple uses, making it an interesting option for businesses looking for a practical promotional product.

Custom-printed NFC pens with your logo at Wizard Card

Looking for personalised promotional gifts that are a little different from the usual giveaways? At Wizard Card, you can customise NFC pens with your own logo and chosen link. The pens are available from a minimum order of 50.

Simply provide your logo and the URL you’d like to use, and we’ll create a digital design for your approval. Once approved, we’ll take care of the printing and programme the NFC chips. Your pens will arrive fully configured and ready to use.
