Printed USB Memory Sticks for Only £1.99 (inc. Print Charges)

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011

The demand for promotional USB memory sticks continues unabated with millions expected to be given away in 2011. The year has already gotten off to a flyer albeit the supply issues brought on by Chinese New Year have created a temporary challenge for many UK and European memory sticks resellers.

Now the holiday is over and the factories are back at work production is once again running at full capacity as they try

to deal with the backlogs the holiday inevitably creates.

Post Chinese New year prices tend to ease a little and drift slowly downwards throughout the summer months before ramping up again as demand for Christmas kicks in. This year, the slow drift downwards, is being helped by the weakening of the USD ($) which today stands at around $1.62 against the GBP (£).

The consequence of these events means that we are now able to offer 512MB printed USB flash drives for only £1.99* each. This includes a two-colour print, free data loading (up to 100MB) and a free standard gift box (or the drives can be bulk supplied in “poly bags” if preferred).

The £1.99 applies to our “Classic” range of USB memory sticks including the ever-popular Twister USB flash drive. There are no hidden set-up charges or print charges. The only additional cost is delivery, which is a standard £10 for next day delivery by UPS.

Our lead time is 10 days from confirmation of order but we do hold lots of stock that we can print and deliver within 48hrs if you’re in a hurry – just ask one of the team for details of the available stock because it changes daily.

If you’re an existing customer, a school, a university or a public authority then you can also take advantage of 30-day payment terms on your orders.

With pricing at this level printed USB flash drives have never been cheaper and never been within the reach of companies and schools. Interested – Give us a call on FreeFone 0800 008 7079 or request a quote via our web site.

Branded USB Flash Drives Deliver The News

Thursday, February 10th, 2011

If you’re sighted you take reading the newspaper or your favourite magazines for granted but if you’re blind or partially sighted then it’s much more of a challenge! Being blind or partially sighted is hard enough but to lose your sight and then lose the pleasure of reading can be particularly hard for many people to take.

talking newpaper

Carrot Talking Newspaper

Fortunately, and thanks in the main to volunteer organisations, the blind and partially sighted are able to continue to enjoy their newspapers or magazines by virtue of a “Talking Newspaper”. A Talking Newspaper, as the name implies, is an audio recording of the newspaper(s), magazine or in some cases a summary of local affairs. The recordings are often made by volunteer readers and recorded onto a cassette tape, or CD that is then posted out to the reader. Occasionally the talking newspaper is emailed out as an audio file attachment.

A more recent innovation in the world of Talking Newspapers is the use of USB flash drives. These ubiquitous little devices are ideal for the storage of audio and media files, they are small enough to “pop in the post”, they’re easy to use and they are very easy to re-write the newspapers and magazines to over and over again.

Duplicating and preparing the “talking newspapers” before distribution is fast and easy with a USB flash drive and certainly significantly quicker than copying the recording onto a tape cassette.

Cassette tapes are losing their popularity because fewer people have cassette players these days and the tapes themselves are prone to failure/damage.

Whilst there are only a small number of talking newspapers using USB flash drives at the moment the positive feedback from the newspapers and its “readers” suggest that it’s a format that is popular and as such is likely to see much greater use in the near future.

If you are a volunteer organisation that produces Talking Newspapers and you’re interested in using USB flash drives then give the team at USB2U a call and they’ll take you through the options and prices.

Buying Branded USB Flash Drives – Beware Chinese New Year Delays

Wednesday, December 15th, 2010

The biggest and most important holiday in China is the Chinese New Year (Spring Festival) and in 2011 it will be the Year of the Rabbit. The festival to celebrate the New Year begins on the first day of the first lunar month and ends with a Lantern Festival 15 days later.

In 2011, The Year of the Rabbit the New Year festivities will officially start on the 3rd February but for many the holidays will start before this date to allow them time to travel home to be with their families.

The factories that manufacture USB flash drives will close on 26th January and re-open on the 14th February. During this time nothing gets manufactured. It’s not just the USB factories that close, pretty much the whole country closes for business including the freight networks and carriers (UPS, TNT, DHL, etc.) that move the shipments of the flash drives out of the country.

Even when the factories return to work there is usually a delay of around 2-3 days before production gets back to normal but even then there is normally a backlog of orders to deal with. As a consequence the lead-time for branded USB flash drives can increase during the period around Chinese New Year from 10 days to 28 days!

Chinese New Year - Flash Drives

Chinese New Year - Flash Drives

The last day for orders for USB drives that are to be produced and printed at the factories in China is 18th January. Order placed after this date are unlikely to be delivered until late February!

Our advice is to plan ahead and get your order(s) in early to avoid disappointment.

Some UK suppliers of flash drives do hold blank (unprinted) stock of the more popular models and memory sizes in the UK. These can then be printed or finished with a dome sticker and turned around in a few days. But if past years are anything to go by this stock goes quickly and prices are increased to reflect demand and to reflect the higher costs of printing and handling in the UK.

Royal Wedding Promotional Gifts – Will USB Flash Drives Feature

Tuesday, November 30th, 2010

One of the more interesting trends is how USB flash drives are being used to celebrate weddings and other memorable personal events. For weddings it’s not unusual for the bride and groom to give personalised “favours” to the guests to say thank you for sharing such a special day with them.

Typically the USB flash drives are personalised with the date of the wedding and an image that reflects the importance of the day. Pre-loaded onto the USB flash drives might be some old photo’s of the bride and groom, other personal items such as favourite records, films and pictures plus details of the wedding itself including the wedding songs and vows- anything just to make the flash drives a really personal gift.

The “wedding day USB flash drives” can be given to the guests in a presentation gift box to make them extra special and its not difficult to get the gift box personalised as well so that the whole thing fits in with the theme of the day.

Wedding photographers are also getting in on the move towards USB flash drives with many now offering the happy couple the option of getting their wedding portfolio delivered on a branded USB drives. Some photographers are taking this approach one step further and offering the USB drives to the wedding guests as well as an alternative to ordering traditional prints.

With the recent announcement of the wedding of the Prince William of Wales and Catherine Elizabeth (Kate) Middleton at Westminster Abbey on the 29th April 2011 it will be interesting to see if USB flash drives feature in any way, either as an  “official” or “unofficial” collectable. It has already been suggested that the royal wedding will deliver a £620million boost to the UK economy and a reasonable proportion of this will come from the sale of goods to commemorate the event.

Traditional commemorative items like cups, mugs, plates and coins are likely to be amongst the old favourites but this will be the first Royal Wedding where USB flash drives could also make an appearance. If the trend amongst the Prince’s subjects is anything to go by then expect commemorative Royal Wedding USB memory sticks pre-loaded with lots of pictures and background information to be in production already!

USB sticks come in all manner of different standard colours and the outer shells of the sticks can even be pantone matched to a particular colour if the standard colours are inappropriate.

The Top 5 Most Popular USB Memory Sticks For Putting A Company Logo On.

Monday, October 4th, 2010

With thousands of styles and designs of USB memory sticks now available it can be a little daunting when you’re looking for them for the first time particularly if you’re buying lots of them with your company logo printed on. After all, it’s not the sort of thing you want to get wrong particularly with your company name emblazed across the sticks.

To help narrow down the choice we thought it might be helpful to compile a Top 5 List illustrating the most popular USB Memory Sticks being purchased by other companies. Of course just because someone else is buying them does not mean they are going to be right for your company but at least it illustrates what sticks are the most popular and what most people are spending their money on.

Top Selling USB Memory Stick List:

No.1 – The Twister USB Memory Stick

Twister USB

Twsister USB

Still at number one years after its launch, the Twister USB flash drive continues to dominate the branded flash drive market. Its success is down to its simplicity, the fact there is no cap to lose or worry about and because it comes in a wide range of colours and looks great printed. The fact that its one of the cheapest USB flash drives available helps of course!

No.2 – The Chic USB Flash Drive

Simple straight lines with a good sized and flat surface area for printing have helped The Chic model make its into the number two slot. Available in either a glossy or rubberised finish. The Chic can be pantone matched for a very small additional fee.

No.3 – The Twister Mono Flash Drive

Twister Mono

Twister Mono

This new variant of the classic Twister is gaining lots of plaudits and customers. The simple idea of producing them with matching “clips” (the bits that twist or rotate) so that you can produce and “all black” or “all white” version has created a new set of customers for this model.

No.4 – The Flip USB Credit Card

USB Credit Cards are very much the “new kids on the block” and boy are they making their presence felt. It was only a year or so ago that early version of these were still pretty thick and as a result no so popular but, the new versions of the USB credit cards (including the Flip) are only 2mm thick and they look fantastic not least because you can print on the whole of the surface area of the card.

No.5 – The Trident USB Memory Stick

USB Credit Card

USB Credit Card

No not our nuclear submarine ballistic missiles but one of the newer and slightly funky USB memory sticks. Popular because is a reasonable size without being too big, it has a good print area and a good strong loop to connect a key ring or lanyard to.

The Twister has been the perennial favourite USB flash drive with companies for the last 5 or so years and whilst we have seen many pretenders come and try to take its crowd this particular model continues to reign supreme.

If you are looking for a safe choice then you won’t go far wrong with the Twister.
