A Great Time of Year for a USB Corporate Gift

Friday, August 19th, 2011

It’s the holiday season and many employees are using their paid leave to go on holiday. They usually bring back simple gifts for their colleagues who were holding the fort in their absence.  Our office is no different; we have had bags of fruity sweets brought back from countries on the continent with the flavours that no one likes still left months later.  Employees’ bringing small gifts back with them from holiday is a nice gesture; it shows that they were thinking about their colleagues in the office whilst soaking up the sun somewhere a little more relaxing.  The same applies between companies.

USB Fan

Although no companies take a ‘holiday’ as such, small gifts and gestures can make a company feel valued, thanked or just thought of.  Unexpected but well-timed and thoughtful corporate gifts can strengthen relationships just as much as big expensive and extravagant corporate hospitality.

If at this point in the article you expected us to suggest that useful, large memory branded USB memory sticks would make an ideal gift to the employees of another company, you would be right.  However, there are other things that we think would also make perfect gifts.  We also offer a range of USB corporate gifts comprising of fans, and speakers.

USB Fan
The USB fan is a welcomed new gadget in time for the hot summer months and can show employees that you care about their comfort in the suns heat. The central area of the fan allows for a resin dome sticker that supports full colour printing, ideal for displaying complex logos. The airflow produced by the fan is big enough to provide an accurate cold blast without blowing papers and or pens around on a desk.

Pod Speaker
The small pod speaker is an impressive and quirky portable speaker, great for employees to take on holiday as the speaker charges via a USB lead and can be played outdoors on the battery or when plugged in at a desk. When closed the speaker is only 35mm high, which is makes for easy transportation. There is also little mess with wires or wrapping them around the speakers when storing the pod as the headphone jack and lead is retractable. The area on the pod allows for clear printing of a company logo and is a great functional promotional tool.

Small Speaker Bar
These compact yet powerful computer speakers fit easily under a monitor or neatly on an office desk for those who listen to music whilst working. The speakers source power and play music from a computer connected via a USB port. This makes them simple and easy to connect as there is no need to play around with drivers or (headphone jack ports).

Large Speaker Bar
These large speakers lay low and wide whilst providing a strong and clear sound. There are three buttons displayed on the top of the speakers, which turn the power on and off and control the volume without having to change it on the device or computer. The port on one end of the speaker connects via USB to the computer sourcing power and music. The other end of the speakers allows for another device such as a phone or an MP3 player to be played through the speakers when plugged in.

We think that along with custom USB flash drives, these corporate gifts are ideal as a ‘middle of the year’ present which will certainly stand out and won’t get lost with the competition of other company gifts at Christmas.  To see more images of the fans and speakers and to find out more visit the Other USB Gifts page on the ‘products’ navigation bar at the top of the page.

Make A Noise With Branded USB Speakers

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

If branded USB memory sticks are not your thing or perhaps you’re just looking for something with a little more noise you might want to consider some branded USB speakers.

Obviously at USB2U we’re a little biased and we are firm believers that USB flash drives are tough to beat as a promotional product because they offer so many benefits to the recipient and of course unlike many other promotional items you can pre-load all of your sales material, brochures and media files onto a memory stick. The obvious benefit of this is that you can offset the cost of buying the USB sticks against the costs you’d normally incur to print your brochures (and of course any other transportation and storage costs associated with moving brochures around).

USB Portable Speakers

These savings can be sizable and often mean the business case to justify the purchase of branded memory sticks is easy to make. But, there are some circumstances where other promotional products such as high quality, portable speakers might be a better choice.

UBS recently supplied branded portable speakers to their new student intake. USB memory sticks were rejected in preference to the speakers because they were simply a better fit with the message and sentiment they wanted to convey. But, these are no ordinary speakers but portable speakers with a great sound quality a great look, and without the need to worry about replacing batteries. The speakers are automatically recharged when connected to a PC via the supplied USB lead and of course they are an ideal companion to any iPod or MP3, MP4 player.

At USB2U we don’t just supply branded USB memory sticks and speakers but pretty much anything with a USB connector on the end of it. If you’re looking for a promotional product give us a call and talk us through your requirements and we’ll come back with a number of options for you. Remember we have our own in-house design team so we can work up mock-ups and samples for you before you commit to your order.

Summers Here So Promotional USB Fans Anyone

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

After expectations were raised last year of a glorious BBQ summer only to be dashed with some pretty torrid and wet weather, this year, the majority of forecasters seem to agree that we’re in for a cracker!

Given the flak they took last year the Met Office are being cagey and suggesting the have “no idea what summer holds”

but this might be more to do with an embarrassed Met Office dropping long-term seasonal forecasts for fear of further criticism. Other forecasters that are prepared to put their necks on the block are talking the summer up and promising long balmy days with a strong likelihood that records will fall in August.

Whilst this is great news for the UK tourist industry and for anyone planning a summer holiday in the UK its not such great news if you’re going to be stuck in a baking hot office with little ventilation and no air-conditioning. Many small businesses in the UK don’t have the luxury of air-conditioning and lots of larger companies are based in old office and warehouse stock where installing air-conditioning is either impossible or prohibitively expensive. Consequently, if the forecasters are right, expect a massive surge in the purchase of desktop fans and portable air-conditioning units this summer.

Given the proliferation of PC’s in most offices another option is to use a USB Fan. These simple and effective fans plug into any spare USB port on the PC and give a refreshing blast of air to the user. They are small, directional, they don’t need any additional power and from a promotional perspective they can be branded and therefore make an idea giveaway.

So, if you’re looking for something a little different this year (well this summer) then you might want to consider a promotional USB fan. They’re sure to be popular, well received and they’re relatively cheap. If you are interested in buying USB fans then given we’re already in June you’ll need to get your orders in quickly.

Of course if you’d prefer branded memory sticks them we have these in abundance!
