• Local sporting clubs are increasingly using logo USB memory sticks to help with the promotion of the club and its activities, to encourage corporate sponsorship and to hand out to the team members with club details and fixtures on.

• Promotional companies are frequent users of logo branded USB memory sticks.

• Track and event days – if you are attending a track race day where you get to experience the thrill of getting behind the wheel of an Aston Martin, Ferrari or Porsche then don’t be surprised at the end of the day to be handed a logo USB memory stick with all of the track data, your personal performance statistics and photographs of you on the track. Of course it will also provide information on future events and track days in the hope that you will be lured back.

Whilst fashions and designs will inevitably change over time these are very much the stalwarts of the logo USB sector at the moment.

Twister

The Twister style memory stick is the “daddy” of the logo USB series of memory sticks accounting for over 50% of all branded memory sticks sold.

This fairly plain memory stick has become the preferred choice for many because there are some key elements to the design that make it a real winner.

• a) It’s available from stock in a wide range of colours and the plastic (or rubber) body shell can be pantone matched at very little cost to one of the primary colours from your logo. Pantone matched versions are getting more popular and look sensational.
• b) The twisting metal casing (hence the name) protects the USB connector from accidental damage and means there is no cap to lose.
• c) It’s relatively small. The Twister is a compact USB Memory Stick so it’s easy to carry, and store and despite its size it carries a logo well..
• d) It’s tough. The combination of the metal case and the rubberised body make it a particularly tough memory stick.
• e) It’s easy to print on and its one of the few memory sticks that you can print a true 4 colour process onto. Real “photo-effect” finishes are possible making it the ideal choose if you have a complex brands or logos to reproduce.
• f) Its popularity means that its quite often available from stock, handy if you’re up against a tight deadline for your logo USB sticks.

Chic

The Chic style memory stick is a classic shaped design that’s pleasing on the eye, takes print well and just looks good branded with a logo. Of course its important that you choose the right colour to compliment your logo but if you struggle to find the right standard colour the Chic can also be pantone matched.

Here a few additional reason why the Chic is a popular logo USB stick:

• a) Smart design – The Chic is a slim design and has a nice clean surface to print your logo onto with a metal trim to make it really stand out.
• b) Supports Pantone matching of body – if you’d like your corporate pantone colour matched to the body of the drive we can do this at an affordable price.
• c) Choose rubberised or glossy finish – there is no additional cost. When you place your order just let your Account Manager know which option you’d like.
• d) Integrated loop for key rings or lanyards – if you want to connect a lanyard or key ring to your branded memory stick then again it’s easy with the Chic because the design incorporates this.
• e) Cost – from our Classic Series its popularity means it’s one of the least expensive memory sticks so if you are working on a tight budget it’s a great choice without having to compromise on the quality or look of the product.

The Probe logo USB flash drive has real panache and versatility. It comes in a range of different colours and can have an alternative coloured cap to the body allowing you to make a real statement.
