After the AdWords The Game gift Google sent us, two more arrived. A diary and a pen. The diary is useful, but; we have a few notes on the pen. First let us say “thank you Google” for the gifts. Then let us take a look at the pen.
About the Google Gift Pen
1 ) The Open and Close Mechanism
We are up against a problem big enough to be the reason we wrote this. Sadly the pen is not at all comfortable to open or to close. Opening it to write something and closing it afterward are two separate ordeals. We tried “brute force” on this and still saw some of the pens refuse to open. That is how we managed to render one pen unusable.
2 ) The Dimensions
The pen sits exactly right in the hand. That makes using it both more enjoyable and easier. It is also nice that it matches the pen loops on the diaries they sent a week earlier.
3 ) The Design
If we had to score the design, it would be 6.3 out of 10. White, plain and smart, you could say. Although on this front I have to say the pen from “Finansbank” beats it outright.
4 ) How Well the Diary and the Pen Go Together
Scoring this one, we would say 8 out of 10. We liked how the design of the pen and the diary fit each other. Our AdWords Manager Burak Tan did say it would have been good to get a few larger diary formats too, but even as it is, the match with the pen is rather good.
Finally, thank you Google for the pen and the diary.
