I own a small stationery store in Dallas Texas. We carry a variety of stationery supplies for many of the businesses, and schools in our area. One of our biggest competitors is Staples about a mile down the road from my store. Many of our products sell well because our prices are fair and we are in an area that is populated with other stores and businesses.
Now one particular item that sells extremely well are pens. Especially our inexpensive ball pens, as well as some of our gel pens, which is a new product. I usually sell them in packets of 4 or 6. Pens are a very useful tool. They are inexpensive and a tool that most of us cannot be with-out! We carry a variety of pens and in different colors. I find that I can purchase wholesale pens very easily online!
