The latest high demand product in a wide range of promotional products are printed USB drives.

From big business to small and mid-sized companies and individuals, the USB is fast becoming the marketing tool of choice.

What better way to promote your business or just get your name out there?

Whether you are an aspiring musician or a company that just wants to show appreciation for a customer’s loyalty, a USB is an easy and valued gift that will be kept and used over and over again. The nice thing is that each and every time the customer pulls out the drive, he is reminded of you and the value your organization brings to his business.

USB drives are available in a variety of shapes, colors, and memory sizes and can be customized to a specific marketing project or generalized and used as a gift for trade shows and other business gatherings.

These drives are a popular trade show give-away and are the preferred gift for clients or potential customers.

Printed USB drives are a high impact statement that delivers the results that you need. A one-of-a- kind promotional item, custom USB drives create buzz on the exhibit floor and attract visitors to your booth.

You can use USB drives to maximize your results by loading them with information that will enhance your brand and product visibility. They are an excellent way to promote new products and services.

Employees like them too and they can be used to reward perfect attendance, achievement or as a holiday or anniversary gift.

Printed USB drives are usually made from materials such as plastic and metal but can also be made from wood, bamboo or other products.

Some of our most popular printed USB drives are the credit card drives which have large branding space to drive your message across.



USB Drives are built to undergo normal wear and tear of every-day use. Features such as shock and water resistance are also offered.

Promoting your business is what it’s all about and whether you have a new business or are launching an innovative product or service, printed USB drives can spread the word fast and effectively.

What you put on a printed USB will set you apart from the competition and may possibly get you some free press which is defined as media exposure that you just can't buy. This kind of coverage provides credibility, increases your brand awareness and drives traffic to your website and your business.

Creating a printed USB will help manage new opportunities and further strengthen the relationships that you have with existing customers, potential clients and the press.

Promotional USB Flash Drives

USB Drives are growing in popularity and are the gift of choice for customers, potential clients and staff. 

I know hundreds of people who have thrown out a coffee mug but a USB drive? Never! It’s a valued gift that can be used over and over again.

 Records show that 40 percent of people can remember the name of an advertiser as long as six months after receiving a free gift and with USB drives it is even longer.  It’s because, unlike most products, people tend to use them almost every day.

Promotional USB Flash Drives are an excellent option. The reason is that they are affordable yet still considered to be a high end gift.


The company you remember most the last time you went to a convention was the one that gave you a branded USB Drive and you are likely to also remember them first when it comes time for ordering products or services.

You can use USB’s for any press release or advertising campaign. Coming face to face to hand them out to your clients is one of the best ways to create and keep your business growing.


The size and the portability is what makes a USB Flash Drive so popular.  Some drives are so small they can be hung from a cell phone or a key chain and others so thin they can be slid into your wallet.  

They come in a variety of styles and sizes and make a significant statement to your customer. They always make a lasting impression that will help to generate business and set you apart from the competition.

They are not nearly as expensive as they use to be so no wonder they are now a popular trade show giveaway.

 You can personalize the drives with your name, logo and company website.

One woman personalized a drive by putting her resume on it and handing them out to potential employers  at a Job Fair. She set herself apart and, by the way, got the job.

There are so many options for choosing to customize. Selecting a gift box or additional item to make the drive yours can help add to the final look and presentation.


Every time your client pulls out a USB drive with your logo on it, they are reminded of your company and the products and services that you provide. It keeps your name in front of them, most times every day. The drives literally pay for itself.

Promotional marketing is successful because it continually draws awareness to your logo and builds the customer’s belief in your brand.  It also helps to set you apart from a crowded field of competitors. These drives are now affordable for small to mid-size businesses as well.


 A USB Flash Drive is exceptionally profitable because it gives clients that individual interface as well as a free gift. Customers see it as high end, find it valuable and you will profit because those clients will become acquainted with your brand and improve the odds of repeat business.

It’s also a great way to thank clients, potential customers and staff for their continued loyality and support.

A good USB company will help you through the process and design a drive that fits your needs and your budget. They will send you samples and you can also get a close up photo of a drive with your logo on it so you can see what it looks like before you buy it.

For your next business opportunity, consider designing a USB drive that will promote your company and brand. The message is long lasting and so worth the investment.


Nothing drives business to your company like the gift of a customized USB Flash Drive. You will be remembered every time the product is used.
