Different Ways you Can Use Custom USB Drives

There are many ways you can use custom USB flash drives to help build your business and attract new clients. We are in the technology age where data is all important, and the way we store or transport data becomes more important. Below are a few of the more popular choices that have proven to be very successful in promoting different businesses and products.

  1. Hand Them Out At Trade Shows: You can have preloaded data on the USB drive that explains about your company or perhaps add a catalogue of your products. They can also have nothing on them and be used to drive traffic to your booth. Just ask people to sign up with their email and contact details for your weekly or monthly newsletter to let them know they can receive a free USB drive.

  2. Grow Your Social Media: It’s sometimes very hard to get people to interact with your different social media accounts, so give them an incentive to sign up and participate by offering a free USB drive to each signup. When you send the drive, it can have your company info or details of products already installed on the drive.

  3. Client Presentations: if you have an important client presentation, what better way to leave them the information after leaving than with a custom USB drive. You can have your logo printed on the drive, and your presentation can be pre-loaded. This way, they have all the information in one compact space they can access at any time.

  4. Use Them As Business Cards: A very novel way to utilise USB drives is to have them as your business card. There are flat styles that are around the size of a credit card. Have the front branded with your company name, name, and contact details and then have the USB uploaded with data on details about your company and what you are offering. Rather than a mass of catalogues and papers for someone to work through, it can all be presented on a compact USB drive.

  5. New Staff Inductions: Sometimes, it can be daunting for new staff to absorb all the information they need to start at a new company. When beginning a new job, different codes of conduct, contacts, etc. can be difficult to remember, so why not have all that information on a USB flash drive that you can give new employees. That way, they won’t feel so self-conscious and will have ready access to any information they need.

  6. Lectures: Are you giving a lecture with a great deal of information? Perhaps there are detailed graphs or intricate details that people need to research later on. Besides giving your lecture, you could also add this to a USB drive and give it to attending delegates. This ensures that if they miss something you are saying, they can look at it later on, or perhaps they want to go over some of your research at a later date. You can put your name and possibly a website on the USB, so as people are using it, they can cross reference easily as to who the author is.

Above are just a few ways you can use custom USB drives to help your business. If you need advice on which one would work best for your company, give us a call or send us an email, and we’d be happy to help.
