Branded USB Battery Flash Drives
If you’re looking for something a little different, something that will make your brand stand out from the crowd and something that will deliver a bit of a “wow” factor then you might want to think about USB flash drives in the shape of a battery.
Of course these battery shaped flash drives are ideal for any battery manufacturer like Duracell or Energizer but they are also ideal for any company that has products powered by batteries or is looking to “power into new markets”. There are lots of creative ways in which USB battery flash drives could be used and they certainly make a powerful impact!
The battery USB drives are slightly bigger than a standard AA battery (they need to be to accommodate the USB connector), they are made of metal and they have screw cap so they’re a pretty rugged and tough flash drive. Although they have an interesting shape they work just like any standard USB flash drive and they’re available in memory sizes from 64MB all the way up to 16GB!
Despite their shape four colour printing is available of these novel USB sticks and they can be supplied with a variety of different keyring attachments and/or lanyards.
If you do buy branded USB battery shaped memory sticks or in fact any USB stick that you’re going to use for promotional purposes then you need to think about whether you’re going to pre-load the sticks with data before you hand them out. Over the last year there has been a significant increase in the number of companies pre-loading their USB flash drives before they distribute them.
The print, transportation and storage costs of printed material like sales brochures, press releases and product sheets can all be saved by loading electronic versions of them onto the flash drives. In some cases it’s relatively easy to build a business case to fund the purchase of the USB drives from these savings alone. If you build in the additional promotional value that they deliver its no surprise that more and more companies are now buying branded USB flash drives.
