I’m intrigued by a recent poll I did about what pens everyone carries daily. When asked what pen you carry and use daily, 63% responded with a twist style pen while only 12% said a capped/ non-posting pen was their daily choice.
With those percentages in mind, one would think that the vast majority of pens made would use a twist mechanism but from what I see posted in the SOYP forum, this does not seem to be the case.
I notice more capped/non-posting and closed end pens than any other type and I wonder why so many if they are not the most popular style?
Are others like me and just like making them because they look nicer or do folks buying our pens prefer the nicer pens and don’t necessarily plan on them being their daily users?
To those of you who are selling pens, do you see the above percentages holding true with your customers?
I’m just curious!
