The Young Enterprise scheme offers a range of programmes, based on the principle of Learning by Doing, which brings volunteers from business into the classroom to work with teachers and students. Some of the programmes enable students to work together to run their own real company.

With more than 5,500 schools and colleges participating in these programmes, Young Enterprise currently reaches more than 350,000 young people a year from primary school right through to university.

However, one of the challenges students have is to select a business that is relatively easy to establish, where there is genuine demand, the sunk investment is low and it gives scope for the students to learn many aspects of running a business.

One solution is selling Branded USB Memory sticks. These could carry the name of the school, colleague or university. It is also possible to have personalised Customer USB Memory sticks. These are ideal for storing and transporting course work.

So why are Promotional USB Memory sticks an ideal solution:

• Students understand and many have previously used USB Memory sticks.
• The sunk cost to purchase Branded Memory sticks is now relatively low.
• The minimum order quantity can be as little as 50 units.
• There is a ready-made market within the students’ educational establishment as their fellow students and staff will need a USB Memory sticks.
• The opportunity to make a reasonable return on investment.
• There are numerous UK suppliers, so no need to deal direct with the Far East where most of the Branded USB Memory sticks are manufactured.
• Students will be exposed to a wide range of business activities including negotiating with suppliers, specifying design requirements, all the financial aspects of purchasing the Promotional USB Memory drives, pricing, marketing, fulfilment and finally customer services.

All in all, selling Branded USB Memory sticks ticks many of the boxes demanded by the very worthwhile Young Enterprise Scheme.
