People are tired of receiving spam mail, flyers on the street or in their inbox, and reams and reams of documents. Companies are also realizing that these marketing and promotional strategies are not working as well as they used to. As a result, businesses, brands and companies need to start getting more creative in terms of how they promote themselves, how they disseminate information about themselves, and how many people they want to reach. There is one solution that works for both customers and businesses. These are customizable USB devices. Business can store important information and documents on their custom made USB devices, and then give these to the customer/client.

The customer appreciates not having tons of paperwork cluttering their space, and the business benefits from a unique form of marketing. By having a customized USB device the company can decide on creating as unique and noticeable design as they need, therefore making the USB more noticeable with their brand logo, but also more noticeable in terms of creativity, so that other people can notice it as well.

This strategy of promotional USB devices is not just suitable for private businesses and companies. It is also a good marketing strategy to employ by non-profit organizations, schools, government departments, retailers, etc. Musicians or movie-makers who want to be signed to record labels or production companies can carry samples of their work on USB devices, able to give them to anyone whenever the opportunity arises. No one walks around with CD’s anymore. And, because USBs are sturdier they do not break as easily as CD’s. In addition, they often come with more space on them as well. And, they can put whatever information they like on it. When ordering a custom USB device it is essential to consider the purpose of it, and the design should reflect the branding and ethos of the business. For example, a corporate company could not be as creative in their design as a musician would be. However, with a custom USB it is possible to create a USB that perfectly matches the branding of a company. Using promotional USBs is still a novelty in the industry, and so there is still plenty of opportunity to use it to get a business more recognized.

Not only can the appearance of the USB be creative, but also it’s content. Different types of files of can be stored on it. Other than movie or music files mentioned above, content can also include important documents, slides, flash advertisements, newsletters, assignments, workshop and class material, etc.

The benefits of using a customized USB device are only now being recognized. As this field grows more and more businesses will start to use it as a marketing strategy, so it is smart to begin to use it now before everyone else catches on, while it is still a novelty. Customers will appreciate it as it is actually useful for them. And so, it is more likely to get a particular company or brand message across to current or potential customers/clients.

Mostly people would have a just a couple off designs in mind when purchasing a USB device, its usually a pin type of item that you can slip into your pocket and not realize of its existance. But when you are running a promotional campaign a very compact size might not attract people towards what you are promoting. What you need is a handly thing that practical, innovative in terms of design and has all the functionality of the USB device.
