if so, where did you get them from? I can only find suppliers that do batches of 250 minimum. I only want about 50-100

No. Have you tried ebay? Just a thought

Many years back I got 'printed pencils' (foil lettering). At the time I was helping at Beavers, and they were an item in the xmas fundraising catalogue. BakerRoss - min order 1 gross (144 pencils)
They don't do pens though it seems.
Webb Ivory does them in smaller quantities - from as little as 12. They also do a personalised ball point pen - though perhaps not what you are looking for, if you want something for mindees, or to give out free.

Can't find children's pens on their own, but edirectory does a personalised case complete with selection of personalised felt tips and pencils. Each case contains 20 felt tips, 20 colouring pencils and 2 HB pencils. So you could get a few cases.

Why do want these pens? Knowing what they will be used for (other than writing with ) may help us all to give you suggestions on things that may be suitable.
While browsing, I found personalised children's cutlery.

i just want them for advertising/marketing. I'm really struggling to fill vacancies. Haven't had an enquiry since Christmas 2006!!!
This despite being 2nd on CIS list, adverts in shops and toddler groups, and school, and a 200 run leaflet drop in local roads.

Oh dear Have you seen the advertising tips thread? I put it together ages ago to keep one big list of places to advertise - it really can make a difference. Do you want me to bump it up?

dylansaunty · 11/10/2007 11:29

yes please, any help will be great

Just done - it's at top at the list atm

Having done personalised pencils in the past, alas I can't say they got me any new business. Though they were useful as xmas presents. Hope you have better luck.

www.moo.com does some lovely mini cards that you could leave around, not sure if it's really what you're after though.

I have personalised pens from a company called Kensington, who then send you lots of freebies like calenders with your name on, key rings bottle openers etc. I also have brochures, business cards, fridge magnets, notebooks, ink stamps and christmas cards all from vista print and chokkies from eat your words, I also wear registered childminder t shirts, all of which have brought me business in the past.
