USB Flash Drives Promotional Gifts For The Digital Age

These days nearly every office uses computers for their daily tasks and backing up and sharing data has become essential. The introduction of USB flash drives now provides a robust and reliable way of doing this that is a vast improvement on the old CDs and floppy discs.

This means that printed USB flash drives will be very well received and make effective promotional gifts that will be retained over a long period reminding your target audience of your corporate message every time they are used. Many innovative designs are available and there is bound to be one to suit your requirements.

The simplest design is the capped flash drive which has a detachable cover to protect the USB connector when the device is not in use. They are available in a variety of materials and colors with a choice of printing options both on the cap and the main body. The chief disadvantage with this configuration is that the cover can be lost leaving the connector at risk of accidental damage.

More complex designs have evolved whereby the protective cover is actually attached to the body of the flash drive thus preventing it from being mislaid. An example of this is where the cap can be swiveled into place when the device is not in use. Another example has the whole flash drive contained in an outer casing which pivots at one end like the blade in a pen knife.

For a more compact design there are flash drives that feature a connector that can be withdrawn into the main body by means of a sliding button. They have proved very popular with recipients and they will display your marketing message over a prolonged period.

If you are looking for something more specific to represent your company USB flash drives are available in wide range of novelty shapes and it is also possible to have them made to your own design.

Standard shapes include cars, lorries, bottles, lipstick, airplanes, syringes, and sweet wrappers. Choosing a shape to suit your business with your logo and contact details emblazoned across it makes your brand more memorable.

All of the above styles can be pre loaded with information about your company and be linked to your website. These are known as web keys and they are ideal for launching new websites and products into the market.

Printed USB flash drives make excellent promotional gifts as they fulfill all of the main requirements for effective marketing tools in that they are desirable, functional and durable with a good sized printing area. This means that you can choose with confidence knowing that your customers and employees will be very happy to receive such a useful gift...
