The Great Pen Giveaway

Missy recently ordered 1,250 pens for one of our clients, unfortunately there was a printing error and we chose not to give them to the client, and instead placed a re-order, which we than delivered to a satisfied client. So, what to do with 1,250 pens?

KAP Art uses a lot of pens every year, but 1,250 are way more than we could use in a year, or two, or three. We chose to hand them out, in large quantities, to some of our most valued customers. The 4J School District is facing major budget cuts for the 2011-2012 school year so we gave several of our neighborhood schools boxes of pens. Coburg Elementary, Corridor Elementary, Cal Young Middle School, and Sheldon High School were all recipients of the pens. We have designed and printed numerous sweatshirts, tee shirt, and spirit packs for them; it was nice to be able to give back.

MLK (Martin Luther King Education Center) received several boxes of pens as well. They are great people who do good work for the youth of our community; it was our pleasure to provide them with pens. We still have more pens to distribute and will do so over the next few months.

It‘s pretty great we are able to share our surplus, and turn what was initially a mistake into a giving opportunity.
