Branded Flash Drive – Record A-Level and GCSE Results

Friday, August 13th, 2010

With the Scottish Higher results having already been announced and with A-Level / GCSE imminent the exam results season is well and truly upon us.

Many industry pundits are predicting another year of record-breaking results. Whilst some still claim the dumbing down of exams, school and colleges should be given the praise they deserve in preparing students for these important exams.

One of the tools that schools have been adopting to help achieve this is the use of  Branded Flash Drives.

USB Flash Drives for Schools

So why are these so valuable for schools?

  • It allows students to transport information between home and school without the need to carry heavy and expensive text books.
  • Documents can be stored on the Branded Memory Stick saving on printing.
  • It allows schools to keep their own networks and storage space to a minimum. Some schools only have dumb workstations, with no local memory, so Branded Memory Sticks would allow the information to be stored.
  • Staff can take information home to mark, check and auto correct.
  • Branded Memory sticks are a great incentive / reward for pupils for achieving certain milestones.
  • PTAs could consider selling the memory sticks to parents as a fund raising activity.
  • It helps students embrace technology, which will be an important part of their future careers.
  • Each Branded Memory stick can have pupil’s name or a unique serial number printed on, so if they do get misplaced they can be easily returned.
  • If the information to be stored on Branded Memory Sticks is sensitive a password or encryption can be added.

As this list illustrates there are many advantages for schools and colleges embracing Branded Memory sticks that will help to continue to improve those dreaded yearly results.

Custom & Branded Flash Drive Awards 2010

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

We’ve had the BAFTA’s the Razzies and the Oscars so at USB2U we thought it was about time we celebrated the success of the humble USB memory stick.

They may not have the glamour and glitz of the film industry but to us and to our customers the memory stick is a “hero product” that punches well about its weight and we felt now was the time to recognise its endeavours throughout the last 12 months.

This award is given to the company that has come up with the best creative design for a bespoke 3-D flash drive. The design had to be new, eye-catching, and play on the company name, logo or product.

Snap, Snap, Snap… Aah!

Monday, March 1st, 2010

That’s the sound of the little magnetic boxes closing around the branded memory sticks lovingly presented in their cute little clasp boxes. Sitting snugly in their foam beds inside the boxes are printed memory sticks, resting, ready to spring into life and become brand heroes and data savers.

Magnetic Box - Twister

Commissioned by savvy marketers and brand owners looking for a good value, promotional items and incentives that help reinforce their brand values and company objectives.

Its no overstatement to say that branded flash drives are not only great for saving data onto but used in the right way they can save your marketing event, show or conference. Why? Well, branded memory sticks are hugely popular, people like being given them, they like to use them and they like to talk about being given them. The net result of this is that if its your brand that printed on the memory stick then its going to get noticed, its going to get handed around and its going to get talked about.

And, if you really want to raise the fervour and interest levels even higher then start handing out bespoke flash drives and just wait for the reaction. Bespoke flash drives are not just “standard factory models” printed with your logo on but a fully customised 3-D drive made specifically for you. Of course you need to make sure you’ve produced something interesting, novel and something that catches the imagination but irrespective of what you sell or do this should be possible. Examples of bespoke flash drives that have been a resounding success include; erasers, forklift trucks, wedding dresses and cable trunking ducts (see even the seemingly boring can be sexed up!)

Magnetic Box - Credit Card

So, if you’ve got an sales event coming up, maybe a conference or perhaps a press launch you want to create some “buzz” about then you need to consider a branded flash drive. Even if you’re not sure get in touch with a couple of suppliers and get some samples, get some mock-ups and ask for help with design ideas. Done correctly they should fire your imagination and the suppliers will be only too happy to help, well the good ones will, and if they are not walk away and find another one who will.
