Consumers can buy marked packages of Pentel EnerGel-X® pens or mail in for a code (no purchase necessary). Then visit www.pentel.com/power and enter the code to see if they can "Unleash the Power of Pentel." There is no limit to the number of entries and Pentel will be awarding second chance prizes via random drawings every week. Plus, fans of Pentel can engage in fun, hero-themed contests on the company's social sites, like Facebook®, Instagram®, Twitter® and Pinterest®.
"During the back-to-school season, consumers are surrounded by deals and promotions that are very limited," states Pentel of America's Director of Marketing, Ilene Albert-Nelson. "Pentel wanted to offer something that rewards both the consumer and their school. The Power of Pentel Sweepstakes gives them the chance to do more when they purchase EnerGel-X pens as part of their back-to-school supplies."
In this age of cutbacks in education funding, the Power of Pentel promotion can make a huge difference to a local school. $250,000 could build a new library, buy laptops for every student, create a scholarship program or install new playground equipment. The possibilities are endless.
EnerGel-X pens feature a blend of liquid and gel inks that offer a smooth writing experience. These quick-drying pens are a favorite of left-handers since they won't smear, smudge or glob. Plus EnerGel-X pens are part of Pentel's exclusive Recycology™ program and are made from 84% recycled materials. Not only can you be a local school hero, you can also be a hero for the environment with EnerGel-X.
