Promotional USB Products

Promotional USB Products

Promotional USB products are perfect for today’s gadget-obsessed society. Not just confined to executive gifts, almost anyone with a computer (which is almost everyone!) has a use for these handy gadgets.

USB (Universal Serial Bus) has become the standard way for connecting devices to PCs and all kinds of devices – from video game consoles to smart phones. Whether it’s your keyboard, mouse or a memory stick, USB (now in the second generation, USB2) means greater compatibility between devices. More than 2 billion USB devices are sold annually and that figure’s growing.

Not only has USB brought about far greater inter-compatibility between different devices and peripherals, they are also powered connections which means devices are able to draw their power from what they’re plugged into, rather than having to have their own power source.

Flashdrives are the most popular USB Products

Since computers became commonplace, there has been a real need for a quick and easy way to transfer data from one machine to another. USB flashdrives are an excellent answer.

Data can be moved onto the device as easily as dragging-and-dropping to a folder, unplugged and then readily carried away. At the other end, the standardised USB connection means there’s no need to have specialist software or technical knowledge to upload it onto the target computer.

This plug-and-play versatility of USB flashdrives has made them a must-have accessory.

USB flashdrives have all kinds of applications

At home or in the office, USB flashdrives are being used in all sorts of ways. As mentioned, the primary use of USB flashdrives is the transporting of data through a highly portable and easy-to-use technology. But that’s not their limit.

With the ability to preload with software that can be autorun, promotional USB flashdrives are a superb way to distribute truly ‘plug-and-play’ demos, digital brochures and software.

Webkeys are a type of USB flashdrive that, when plugged into the recipient’s computer, will automatically take them to the programmed website.

The easily-accessible and permanent memory space that USB flashdrives provide means they are widely used as a part of a backup and disaster-recovery plan. Instead of multiple CD/ DVDs, recovery ‘disks’ and important documents can be written quickly to a single USB flashdrive.

USB flashdrives are also used for running simple ‘plug-and-play’ software that doesn’t need installing on the main computer.

A wide range of promotional USB devices

Promotional USB flashdrives come in all shapes, sizes, colours and materials. From sleek professional styling ideal for executive gifts to novelty flashdrives with fun designs. There are even eco-flashdrives with wooden cases.

It’s not just USB flashdrives either. There are USB mice, digiframes and laser pointers available.

USB Products are tremendous value

With major strides in technology and manufacturing processes, prices have dropped rapidly. So much so that most people couldn’t imagine how low-cost USB products can be. And that makes for promotional products with a perceived value much greater than their actual cost.

What does this mean for your next promotional/ marketing/ advertising effort? It means recipients will value their USB products and that means they will hold onto them. It means your brand is associated with quality merchandise and not one that undervalues it’s customers. And, of course, it means your budget goes further.
