Somes uses for lots and lots of pencils

As you may have noticed, Pencils.com is running the Piles of Pencils sale, which includes 20-25% off bulk orders (144 or more) of pencils! This is in addition to the rolling discount you can get when you buy in greater quantities.

Because they often buy school supplies with a limited budget, we often hear from teachers that the pencils they find in bulk are low quality. Perhaps the wood splinters while sharpening, the graphite is crumbly or shows up too lightly, or any other in a host of reasons why the pencil may not perform well.

Well, simply put, we would never sell a pencil like that! Our pencils are high quality, are made from genuine incense cedar, write smoothly, darkly, and are strong enough to hold a point for an extended amount of time.

We have some great ideas for ways you can take advantage of this sale, going on through the end of January.

Creative Uses for Bulk Pencils

Motivational Pencils: Teachers can reward children for performing well in school! With messages like “Reach for the Stars,” “Caught Doing Good,” or “Student of the Month,” (and lots more), pencils aren’t a stick — they’re a carrot.

Keep your business green: Our own line of ForestChoice pencils are on sale if bought in bulk! These environmentally friendly pencils are made from natural, FSC-certified Incense-cedar which sharpens smoothly and easily while protecting the core from breakage.

Spangle Jumbo pencils: These pencils are perfect for small children with small hands! The Jumbo and Mini-Jumbo Spangles are part of the California Republic brand, and feature a thick barrel and a thick graphite core so it can take extra pressure from children learning to write.

Promote your cause: We have a whole arsenal of promotional pencils to help you fight for your cause. “Erase breast cancer,” for example.  In fact, a percentage of sales from  these breast cancer awareness pencils goes to charities to help fight it!

Next week, we’ll be extolling the virtues of customized pencils, which are also part of the sale!
