When it comes to promotional products like flash drives, there is a huge range to choose from but two types out sell the rest. The first is the humble Aluminium Flash Drive. Now this is your everyday flash drive (aka memory stick), with an aluminium case and plastic sides that can be coloured matched (at the right quantity) with your logo. The aluminium flash drive case also offers a great imprint area, suitable for screen printing or laser engraving. This type of USB flash drive is also available on an express delivery with shipments possible within 24 hours from artwork sign off. Now at the other extreme of the promotional flashdrives range we have bespoke custom USB flash drives. These use the same inner workings for memory storage and off course USB connection but have a custom designed outer case. Now this is generally made to a specific mould and can be in the form of your logo or some other specific shape. The cost of mouldings has come down so much that many clients are surprised at the small price difference between a volume hitter like the Aluminium Flash Drive and a custom USB Flashdrive. So when it comes to promotional products like flash drives, you can afford to think ‘outside the box’ more than you probably realise.

What are the best examples of USB promotional products and how can they be used? In a word or three: USB Flash Drives or flashdrives or Memory Sticks as they are sometimes known. What makes these promotional products so special is the fact that they are extremely popular. Find one computer user, especially someone in sales, marketing or IT who does not have at least one USB flash drive. This is the beauty about this type of product, it gets used, it gets seen and provides a really great platform for your marketing and promotional message. At Redbows we have several hundred types of flashdrive available. These include plastic, metal, wooden and leather-cased. Typical order quantities can range from as low as 50 pieces with sizes up to several GigaBytes (GB). There are also ECO environmentally friendly flashdrive alternatives with cases made from recycled plastics, sustainably managed forests (in the case of wooden cases) and plants such as bamboo. The most common uses of such USB promotional products includes: promoting a website, as incentives for competitions, rewards and general promotion. What we like best about these products is in addition to offering a great imprint area and branding options (screen printing, embossing and laser engraving), USB flashdrives can also be supplied pre-loaded with valuable data. This could include branded datasheets and manuals or conference and exhitions presentations, top tips, reasons to buy, common FAQs and other such material. Accessories for this range are also quite extensive. Gift boxes are commonly used to make them more personalised and these can include lanyards, keyrings and other such materials. Even with a fluctuating Dollar-to-Sterling exchange rate flashdrives and memory sticks are still firm favourites when it comes to USB products for promotions.
