These pens, unfortunately, fall short of expectations. Initially, they appear promising, with ample ink in the barrel and an attractive range of colors and finishes. However, after just a couple of months, they disappoint. They dry up, rendering them useless, and to make matters worse, they tend to leak. What’s particularly frustrating is that these pens are marketed as a marketing tool for small businesses. They even provide a couple of free ones with your business logo on them. But when these pens fail, it reflects poorly on your brand. As someone who has distributed them to clients and potential clients, it’s disheartening to associate your business logo with such sub-par writing instruments.
