Many people will grab a pen or other item while in a store if it is free. It usually will have the store’s name, phone number, address and some kind of advertisement printed on it. There are other items you often see in stores that are free, too. These are all promotional products that the company is using to promote their business, products, or some type of advertising about their company. I don’t feel as though people should be taking the products if they truly aren’t going to be using them. Some people don’t realize that these items costs the company money, but they do. It is one of the best types of advertising. Sometimes they are lower in price, per piece, for a higher quantity that you buy.
