Ideas for Promotional Pens?

Hey Everyone, I own a gourmet coffee and specialty tea company. Yesterday, I received a shipment of approximately 600 promotional pens that I don't remember ordering. At any rate, I'm going to use them anyway. My problem lies in the fact that this is my first attempt at advertising my company - my background is journalism, not business or marketing lol.. Does anyone have any ideas for creative ways to hand these pens out to the neighbouring businesses that will make them want to come in and/or make a purchase? Thanks in advance!

Hand one personally to every customer who buys something at your shop. Say "If you don't need a pen, would you please leave this at the counter of the next business you enter". You are making it like a game. You could even say "I'm having a contest to see which pen gets deposited the furthest away (in the same city)". Or say that the person holding the pen gets a free tea bag if they produce the pen. If you say this in person, they will be anxious to get their friend a free tea.

Wow what a come up! Promotional pens can be very advantageous to promote your business, if you do it right. I would not give them out individually, package them with in a gift basket of sort for the holidays with your gourmet coffee as added value. People want a lil extra for their buck :) I am the co-founder of www.saveafricaglobal.org and we also have a partner, coffee line that we use as a fundraiser. We would love to market our product in your store. Please advise.
