I am making a large batch of pens for all of the people I work with this year for the Holidays. I need about 20 men's pens, and about 40for the women. Right now, I am set up to make Flat top double twists, sierras, cigars, slimlines, Flat top Fountain and rollerballs, and Europeans (Switching from 7mm to 8mm Euros) I also do Baron/sedonas, but those are a bit pricier than my others, so I will leave them aside for this project. (Is this a good balanced lineup for selling at shows?)
The slims will be TG or other premium platings, while the others will be mostly chrome to keep the costs about equal.
Is there another good pen to add on for the women, or should I give them all slims and euros? I could also give out some cigars in bright acrylics too. Are the Americans too big and clunky for this? I do make a lot of the slimlines with larger cap ends (Like the KC or Russline) and others get contrasting center bands and wider, streamlined contours. I was wondering about streamlines and olympias. I work in a supermarket, so we have a large cashier and office staff. I want to make each pen different. My largest sellers right now are the flat tops. (Mostly in acrylic colors much brighter than I would make for myself)
Thanks,
Dave
