Felt tip pens always seem to disappear when you need them, so a company can never own too many. If you go through a lot of felt pens, they make an obvious item for bulk purchase. You might use felt tip markers for poster boards or thin-tipped felt pens for document signing and everyday use.
In addition to using felt tip pens at the office, consider giving them (along with a pad of paper) to clients or business associates attending a meeting in your conference room so they can take notes. You might also think about making felt tip personalized pens carrying your logo a giveaway item at trade shows.
In your search for felt-tip pens:
1. Save money, and buy wholesale felt tip pens in bulk to maintain an available stock of pens at a very reasonable price.
2. Remember that the tops of felt tip pens often disappear rendering the pens useless once the ink dries up, so consider buying retractable felt tip markers.
3. Buy felt tip markers and pens whose manufacturer advertises that their pens don't bleed through paper, to prevent mishaps.
