Swivel Drive: Use the USB Promos October Promotion for Free Printing

When it comes to technology there are so many choices at times that it can become quite overwhelming. The process of choosing a technology for you can seem like a daunting task. Even choosing the right USB drive product has become confusing. With so many pop-up businesses saying they have the best custom USB drives and having a website packed with USB products to search through to find the “one”, what’s a customer to do?

While there are many models to choose from through a variety of sources, we suggest using a best selling model. One of the top selling is a “swivel” model. Through our site, the most popular swivel style is the FD-12004.

It looks familiar to most people as it is a traditional style drive, however it is fully customizable. The shell surrounding the USB comes in a variety of colors like:



●    Black
●    Brown
●    Blue (shades)
●    Cyan
●    Red (shades)
●    Gray (shades)
●    Green (shades)
●    Orange (shades)
●    Purple (shades)
●    Pink
●    White
●    Yellow (shades) 

The swivel cap comes in a standard white or silver. However, upon request, it is fully customizable as well. The cap has a metallic finish and comes in:

●    silver (standard)
●    white (standard)
●    black
●    dark blue
●    green
●    purple
●    golden
●    blue
●    red

Aside from picking out the colors for your USB drive, companies also offer services to personalize your drive. Swivel drives can be laser etched, CMYK process printed or screen/pad printed at most businesses. Printing/branding both sides of the swivel clip is available. Most businesses utilize the surface area by printing their logo, website and phone number on either side of the clip.



To get even more personal you can opt for having files preloaded to your drives. Basically, you will send the USB company the files you want and they will do all of the work for you. Your USB drive order will be shipped to your door with the files already intact.  Most files are accepted. So think about what you want the receiver of the USB drive to have: photos, presentations, videos, audio, songs, sales sheets, product catalogs etc. The options truly are endless.

If you are looking to utilize this type of drive, there is a promotion during the month of October at USB Promos. They are offering free printing on any one side your USB drive. The swivel clip drive is included in this promotion along with some of their bestsellers and RUSH products. Watch this video to learn more about them.

Becoming Eco Friendly: Wooden USB Drives


It’s important to take care of the things you love, like the environment. It’s easy these days to choose the more convenient and used option. For instance, whenever we need to share a document or pass out data; it is easier to just hit the print button. However, printing hundreds of documents essentially hurts the environment.

We suggest going paperless when possible which is one of the reasons we support utilizing USB drives. Not only can you have all the documents preloaded to your drive, but you also aren’t filling up landfills with the paper that is trashed once read.

Even better, USB Promos has started offering customizable wooden USB drives.

                                   

We have a variety of wooden drives all located on our website or through our Etsy store for an individual order. They can all be branded with your logo or anything you need through laser engraving, hot stamps, pad print, screen printing or full photographic CMYK printing. We encourage being eco friendly by offering only recycled wood made from your choice of:

●    Bamboo
●    Beechwood
●    Maple
●    Rosewood
●    Walnut

Some of the wooden drives come with magnetic pieces to ensure the top and bottom close, securely.

If you would like to go natural, but don’t prefer cork we’ve got another option. We’ve recently begun to offer wine cork and champagne cork USB drives made out of bamboo. They come with a friction fit cap to again ensure a secure closing. These drives can be laser etched in house for fast delivery or pad printed.

                                                               




Our most popular style is the credit card style USB drive. They offer the most surface area for branding by your business. Our best selling style is the laser etch. Our graphic designer can work with you to create the perfect business card style. 

                                                          






Any size memory can be fit into the drive casing and have a limited lifetime warranty. For more information and examples of our eco friendly drives click here.

The Music Industry: USB Drives as Promotional Tools


Rewarding your fans for their loyalty is key in the music industry. Once someone has developed an appreciation for the music you put out they will typically remain fans. However, it is always good to do something kind for their continued support. After all, an artist cannot put out new material without financial support from someone.

Fans are loyal. They buy CD’s, songs from iTunes, boost your visibility on Youtube, freely promote you every time they make a reference to you in their social media, buy posters etc. All of those items add up and some material items are not even reusable. So why not invest in something affordable, rewarding and functional?

Bands like best selling artist No Doubt and Fool’s Gold Records have taken advantage of custom USB Drives for those very reasons. They each worked with USB Promos to design a one-of-a-kind USB drive.

No Doubt decided to do a limited release of their new album, Push and Shove. The ABS plastic drive was designed to mimic a rubik's cube. It acted like one too- when you twisted the drive like a rubik's cube it revealed the actual USB.


Fool’s Gold Records sold their limited edition album, “Loosies” on a custom cigarette shaped drive. It was made from rubber 3D PVC. Pulling off the filter revealed the USB.


Their drive was sold in a completely customized package as well:



Both clients provided USB Promos with the music files and we pre-loaded them onto the drives. When a DJ or fan received the custom drive they were able to download the complete album to their computers. Also, they were able to use the drive for personal use thereafter. While stickers fade, concerts become a memory and posters are outgrown- everyone needs a USB drive. It serves as a walking advertisement essentially.

For more information or ideas on how to others have used custom USB drives, take a look at our idea gallery.

Metal USB Drives: A Sophisticated Marketing Tool

The type of USB drive you choose to order and disperse amongst your following says a lot about the company. Consumers, co-workers, stakeholders, conference attendees etc. will either add to or take away their already conceptualized opinion about your company based simply on the USB drive alone.

Think about it. If you handed over a product that was distastefully printed on, falling apart, not functional, not color matched correctly to actual logo/product, misspelled etc. the USB drive receivers might think “what else do they sacrifice quality for profit”.

USB Promos guarantees high quality drives no matter the medium i.e. ABS plastic, PVC, wood or metal. USB drives can be customized to essentially “fit” your industry. For instance, if you're in the children’s toy business, a soft rubber PVC USB drive would be more representative of your work rather than a wooden drive for the logging “lumberjack” industry.

                                                          
We are especially proud to offer fully customizable metal drives. We have helped to design custom USB drives for businesses working with racecars, mechanics, batteries, beverages, construction etc. Regardless of the industry, metal USB drives are a popular choice. Metal drives speak volumes about the company. They communicate that a company is high quality, durable, classy, respects the opinions of their consumers and makes good investments.
                                                                               
Our metal USB flash drives are sturdy and reliable. They are die cast in zinc alloy and can be powder coated, painted a color, nickel plated or chrome plated. Let the USB drive sparkle in it’s natural metallic finish or have your logo screen printed on the flat surface.We can even create a mockup for you with any of the finishing options to make the decision process easier.
                                              
                                                                                  
Look here for a better understanding of our metal drives. Also, take a look at our idea gallery to see how other businesses have used our custom USB drives.

Promotional USB Drives: Marketing Tool

Consumers become of every product and service through promotion. Whether they receive a flyer, see an advertisement, get a balloon or QR code to scan, the items’ job is to promote. Most promotional items, however, are thrown into the nearest trash can or declared purposeless. Therefore, there is no better promotional/marketing tool than a custom USB drive (flash drive).

promotional items

Promotional drives are simply portable technologies that store any and all of your digital data depending solely on memory capacity. Often times, the USB drives are preloaded with other promotional materials like videos, rare songs, powerpoints, website URL’s etc.





USB Promos promotional drives are not only custom made, but they are functional. They have purpose and can be used for the life of the drive. Our promotional drives have no limitations. We can make any shape or size and even precisely color match your logo. USB Promos offers custom flash drives in metal, ABS plastic, 2D PVC, 3D PVC, wood and epoxy dome. Not to mention we can either print in full CMYK color or laser engrave drives too.
                                                                           
Each drive is fully customizable and unique to that business. Essentially, they are investments for your business because while your logo printed on a pen may rub off or run out of ink for example, the drive can be used everyday for years to come. That in itself ensures prolonged visibility at a one time cost. To see how a variety of industries have utilized their custom, promotional USB drives take a look at our idea gallery.
