Create a presence with promotional pencils

Conferences, exhibitions and trade fairs are bustling places with lots (even hundreds) of exhibitors trying to capture the attention of visitors. When someone does visit your stand, you want them to remember you days, weeks or even months after their visit. Promotion pencils that are also eco-friendly make the perfect giveaway.

Promotional items have been used for centuries as a means of advertising businesses, and they continue to be used because they’re an easy way for businesses to get their brand seen.

In recent years there’s been a shift from giving away plastic promotional items to sustainable promotional items. Our plantable Sprout pencils are the ideal promotion pencils for businesses that have sustainability at their heart.

Made using sustainably harvested wood and containing a mixture of non-toxic graphite and clay writing material, the plantable Sprout pencil has a seed capsule containing GMO-free seeds that can grow into luscious flowers, tasty herbs or fresh vegetables when planted.

The idea is that the promotion pencil is used and when there’s only the stub of the pencil left the plant-based material seed capsule is planted, and what remains of the pencil acts as a name-tag for the plant.

Plantable Sprout pencils are versatile promotional pencils and are suitable to use at internal company events, conferences, exhibitions, trade fairs and product launches. They can even be sold as promotional products in gift shops. If you’re looking for inspiration, here are some examples of creative promotional ideas for events using the plantable Sprout pencil:
