PENS BY THE BOX, PINK

By
Real Estate Agent with Raleigh Cary Realty NC Broker #178638

Pink Uni-ball gel pens   

I love these pens so much, I buy them by the box! Here’s why:

1. They write smoothly.

2. The rubbery grip is comfortable.

3. Pink is pretty.

4. Nobody steals them, and nobody forgets to give them back to me. They’re too distinctive.

5. These days pretty much all real estate documents are scanned and emailed to the various parties, so everything hand-written needs to be dark.  I wrote a blog once about “wispy” signatures that are almost invisible when scanned. My Uni-ball pens have a medium point and black ink, which ensures that my writing will be legible, even when scanned.

6. If I am meeting with clients to do paperwork, I don’t leave home without at least three of these pens. I have my clients do their intialing and signing with my pens. not theirs.  I don't have to worry about their signatures and initials showing up nice and dark when scanned and emailed.

7. I consider these pens a promotional item.  If a client has the good taste to admire my pens, I give them one.  It may not have my name on it, but I'm sure they’ll remember me whenever they use it, and think of me fondly  : )

8. These pens write until they don’t. No skipping and stuttering. When the ink is gone, they quit. But not before.

8. 60 cents from each box sold goes to the City of Hope for breast cancer research.  I’m doing my part, because I have bought a lot of boxes!

You can find pens that are cheaper, but I love these pens. A product that works well and is aesthetically pleasing —  that's priceless!

Dianne Goode Pens remain a favorite novelty with real function that all of us in the real estate business need to keep in mind. Not so sure about the pink, unless you continue to use unbranded pens.

I love the uniball pens for all of the reasons you mentioned. Although I use blue ink. Have a great day, Dianne.

Good morning Dianne.  I have used those pens in the past, never saw them in pink.  Like Debbie Laity I use a pen with blue ink.

I think when you find a good pen that is comfortable and provides the script you want, stick with it. That is terrific that you are supporting breast cancer research at the same time.

Thank you very much for telling us about your use of these pink pens. I wonder if you could get them with your name on them.

Hi Roy.  I wonder if that would be possible. Imprinted pens always seem to be junk -- I have drawers full of them, from various attorneys, lenders, etc.

Dianne- I love pens... all kinds of them and these look like some I'd like.  Besides, it's a great way to support breast cancer research.

What a great way to brand yourself and help a charity at the same time.
