Marker Supply’s Pen Pal Contest!

Posted on April 5, 2017April 10, 2017 by MarkerSupply

The new Marker Supply contest is here! This time, EVERYONE who participates will get something in return. 🙂 With April being “National Letterwriting Month”, we’re all about celebrating handwritten letters and notes- so we couldn’t think of any better way to run this month’s contest but to have you send us some snail mail. Physically putting a pen to paper and writing as a form of communication has almost become a lost art for most people. Since markers, pens, and pencils are our world here at Marker Supply, we want to see them in action. Plus, the Marker Supply warehouse has recently expanded into a new space. We now will feature the “marker fan art corner”, a special section for showing off cool things our customers have created. This contest can be the perfect opportunity for you to help us start filling it up! ………………………………………. HOW TO ENTER: To be a part of our “Pen …

CONTEST: CHALK MARKERS!!

Posted on July 8, 2016July 20, 2016 by MarkerSupply

This month at Marker Supply, we’re taking a look at one of our largest groups of markers: CHALK MARKERS!! “Chalk” paint markers are starting to be used instead of traditional chalk in lots of places. They don’t have the messy dust, they don’t easily smudge right off, they can be used multiple ways on multiple surfaces, and they give you a larger range of colors! For the rest of July, we’ll be highlighting our chalk markers and paints, interviewing a few awesome chalkboard artists, and showcasing several projects that use chalk art. (Thanks to chalkboard artists Rudy Gaytan (Dungeness Crab sign) and Joseph Tubb (Durable Supply Company sign)!!) ……………………………………………………….. And as for our MONTHLY MARKER CONTEST, this one’s an easy one. All you need to do to enter is sign up for our Marker Supply E-mail Newsletter! …and that’s it!! Use our handy entry form HERE! Each month we’ll send you …
