Flash drives are rapidly replacing CD's (which replaced cassette tapes) for distributing recordings of conference and trade show information. When sales training meetings are recorded as podcasts, distribution is easy on a memory stick. Your branding continues day to day as the consumer references the material while seeing the reminder of your brand.
Non-profit groups and charities have found jump drives to be a useful format for getting their story in the hands of potential contributors. A slide show or video can make a case much better than a static brochure, and can be accompanied by supporting documents.
Graphic designers find memory sticks to be the ideal format for distributing portfolios, since the material can be organized into different types of work, both for print and for web use. With dynamic linking to a web site, the content can be kept up to date, overcoming the biggest problem with printed marketing material - obsolescence.
The Pen Drives are impressive promotional or incentive gifts. They will be reused for years, giving clients a powerful branding tool. Sleek and elegant, our Executive Pen Drives are the perfect corporate gift for any multi-tasking professional. These flash drives present a new way of displaying logos and graphics, delivering a fresh level of product innovation into your client's hands. Some combination styles include a pen, laser pointer, stylus, and memory stick all in one unit.
Wristband drives have become the hottest new way for musical groups to distribute their music. Many a rock concert has seen a new album sold in this format, instead of the traditional music CD. Younger audiences who grew up in the music download era are quick to jump on the bandwagon of this new technology.
Why use flash drives for promotional marketing?
The USB Flash Drive is the fastest and easiest way to share files, data, presentations, pictures, video, e-mail, music and more. As compact storage devices, they can be personalized with a printed or engraved logo, or molded to represent a brand. Forget about printing catalogs. Your entire catalog can go onto a flash drive, which your customer will keep indefinitely. Your logo is on the outside as a reminder of your company. Of course, we can preload the data into the drives so when your customers plug the device into the computer, your company catalog is right there. Even better, make it a PowerPoint presentation, or a video that runs automatically when the drive is inserted into any computer.
The flash drive is known by many names, including memory sticks, jump drives, thumb drives, and usb drives (though the latter term can also refer to larger desktop drives used for backup and archiving). They are frequently incorporated into other products, including pens and wristbands. The shape can be anything you can imagine, though certainly one of the most attractive features is the compact size, convenient and appropriate to add to a key chain. In fact, sometimes they are referred to as key chain drives. Custom shapes allow the printed usb drive to be a physical extension of the customer's logo and brand.
