      <title><![CDATA[What Are the Differences Between USB 2.0 and 3.0?]]></title>
      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/USB/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://www.usbpromos.com/media/wysiwyg/2.0-vs-3.0-USB-Drive-blog.jpg" alt="2.0 vs 3.0 USB Drive" /></p>
<h1><strong>What Are the Differences Between USB 2.0 and 3.0?</strong></h1>
<p dir="ltr"><span>When you&rsquo;re looking for a USB flash drive, it helps to know which drive would best suit your needs. USB 2.0 and 3.0 are two options available to you. What are the major differences between these USB drives and which one is right for you?</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><strong>Faster Transfer Rates</strong></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>One of the major differences between the USB 3.0 and 2.0 is the transfer rates. Those of the 3.0 are ten times faster than the 2.0. This is dependent on the type of device you&rsquo;re using, but the transfer rate is consistently faster. This means your information can be written on your 3.0 flash drive in just a fraction of the time compared to a 2.0 version.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><strong>Better Power Management</strong></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>USB 3.0 has better power management and power efficiency than USB 2.0. USB 3.0 is able to use less power for idle states and when not in use, not use power at all. Thanks to this better power management, the 3.0 USB is a more efficient flash drive and can help save power when not in use or in idle mode.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><strong>New Types of Connectors</strong></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Compared to the USB 2.0, the 3.0 has more than double the wires to help with the faster speed. Although the 3.0 is generally a little more expensive, the efficiency and speed of the 3.0 makes it a better choice for many people. With more than double the connectors and a faster writing time, the 3.0 has its benefits!</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><strong>Which One Is Best?</strong></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The differences between USB 2.0 and 3.0 are subtle but can provide you with the high efficiency you need for today&rsquo;s workplace. When considering which USB drive is right for you, consider that 3.0 comes with faster transfer rates, is more efficient with its power, and has more connectors to help it achieve these goals.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Check out our supply of different USB drives to find the one that best suits your style and needs!</span></p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Magnets Do Not Harm USB Drives]]></title>
      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/usbdrives/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">In our technology driven world, it is crucial to be able to have a way to share and transport electronic documents. And on top of that, you want to make sure your files are safe and secure. One of the best ways to do this is with USB drives. Their compact size make it easy to travel with and with so many styles and design options, it&rsquo;s a great way to show your personal brand or business.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One of the most common questions we get about <a href="https://www.usbpromos.com/usb-drives">USB drives</a> is whether or not they are affected by magnets. It&rsquo;s a common misconception that magnets can damage or alter your USB drive. Unlike some electronic technologies and devices, magnets are not used to produce USB drives. Which means that if a magnet is near your USB drive, the magnet will have nothing to interfere with or damage. In fact, all types of flash memory including SD cards and external hard drives are immune to the negative effects of magnets. But because USB drives are compact, easy to use, and can connect to almost any device, they are one of the most ideal ways to store, transport, and share files.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Secure </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Unlike their predecessors, floppy disks, USB drives cannot be harmed by magnets. This not only makes them more durable, but also makes them more secure. Magnets have been used in recent cyber attacks. Using USB drives won&rsquo;t prevent all damage from a potential attack, but it can help minimize your risk of losing valuable documents. You can have peace of mind that your files are secure when using USB drives.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ease of Use </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Because USB drives are commonly used and very intuitive, they are an ideal solution for storing files. Even people with little technological skills can use USB drives easily, making this a great solution for your business. And because they are durable and not harmed by magnets, you can have confidence that no matter who is using the USB drive, your files will be safe.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Versatile</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong></strong>USB drives are not only versatile in the way they look and provide options to brand your business, but are also one of the best flash storage drives to use because a lot of devices have a USB port. Computers, TVs, printers, even coffee makers are equipped with USB ports. And because magnet can&rsquo;t damage your USB drive, there is no need to worry when connecting your drive to devices.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Taking Care of your USB Drive </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Although USB drives are immune to magnets, there are other ways you can damage your USB drive. To ensure your drive stays functioning properly, there are some steps you can take to care for your USB drive. Don&rsquo;t put it in the pockets or your clothing. Dust and lint can collect in the drive and the warmth or moisture of your body can cause the drive to corrode. Don&rsquo;t leave it plugged into a device indefinitely. Create a backup.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">USB drives are not only versatile and easy to use but one of the most secure ways you can store and share documents. Because magnets won&rsquo;t damage or alter your files, you can have the peace of mind you need when storing important documents.

      <title><![CDATA[Can USB Drives Get Wet? Are They Waterproof?]]></title>
      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/capsuleUSBDrive/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<img src="https://www.usbpromos.com/media/wysiwyg/FD-12047_Capsule_USB_Header.jpg" alt="" />
<p><strong></strong> USB drives are a convenient way to carry around data, but that also means your data can encounter some unexpected situations. If you are looking for a waterproof USB drive, you need to be aware of what sometimes gets labeled as waterproof. USB drives are often encased in plastic, metal, or even wood. As a result, the data inside should stay dry if you get caught out in the rain or splashed with some water.</p>
<p>However, most USB drives are not designed to be completely submerged, especially not at any great depth. The biggest issue is that the USB connector gets damaged. While the data on the drive may still be good, now there is no way to get to it.</p>
<p>So what should you look for in a waterproof USB drive? Basically, you want a drive that closes completely and has a waterproof seal. It should also be made from a shockproof material. Remember that the more sensitive the data is that you will be carrying around, the more serious you want to be when shopping for the right USB drive.</p>
<h3>True Waterproof USB Projection</h3>
<p>The answer you will get from most sites while searching the internet about USB flash drives getting wet is that you just have to be patient and make sure they completely dry out before plugging them into your computer. But if you want to true protection from the elements, then you want a case with a waterproof seal.</p>
<p>One example of a <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a title="Waterproof USB Drive" href="https://www.usbpromos.com/usb-drive-2616" target="_blank">waterproof USB drive</a></span></strong> is the FD-12047 from USB Promos. The USB drive is enclosed in a machined aluminum capsule. The waterproof seal ensures that water won&rsquo;t leak in, even if the capsule is temporarily submerged in water. If you are going to be going into harsh weather conditions, this is the USB drive you want with you. Plus, your data will be protected if one of your kids spills a drink on it.</p>

      <title><![CDATA[Ubiquity – Every advertisers’ frenemy]]></title>
      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/ubiquity/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<img src="https://www.usbpromos.com/media/wysiwyg/video-brochures.jpg" alt="" /><br>
<p>
One of the obstacles that advertisers have faced for thousands of years is ad clutter – of a medium is too cheap and easy, everyone will use it, and it will loose impact.
<p><br>
Throughout history, the most successful merchants were the ones who made an effort to stand out.  We have come a long way since 1,000 B.C. when the merchants in Babylonia would inscribe product offerings on stones and take them to other towns in an effort to offer their products to as many potential customers as possible.  As you can imagine, it took considerable time and effort to create attractive advertisements on a stones that would be worth carrying to another city by horseback.  But the number of ancient writings discovered that were used for advertising is evidence that their time and effort paid off.
<p>
As technology progressed it became easier and less expensive to advertise.  The printing press in 1440, and the first print-shop in 1480 which is when direct mail really took off in England.  Since then, the advertisers have had to work even harder to innovate and compete for attention.
<p>
Recent advancements in technology has made the integration of video screens in brochures cost effective for many campaigns.  Our video brochures are small, light and inexpensive.

      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/Unite/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr"><span>Unite Eurotherapy, makers of hair care products, approached USB Promos with the idea to create custom USB power bank chargers in the shape of one of their new products. Their&nbsp;</span>product, the 7Seconds Condition Leave in Detangler detangler was the perfect shape to emulate in our PVC material and we knew it would be a hit.</p>
<p><span><span><br /></span></span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span> Standard turnaround on a custom shaped power bank tends to be in the 2 &frac12; to 3 week range but on this project we were on a tight deadline. Thanks to the cooperation of our partners at Unite Eurotherapy and our talented design staff we were provided with high quality imaging that made it possible to go from an initial product render to order placement. We were able, also, to complete production of these chargers in only 6 calendar days. </span></p>
<p><span id="docs-internal-guid-761fe33a-1c0d-c83e-bf4f-b2bbfd22fb57"><br /><span>The final product turned out just as highly detailed and sharp and the 3D render we provided our client. Both Unite and the office staff at USB Promos were excited to receive the finished products and we were not disappointed. We look forward to working with our partners at Unite Eurotherapy on future USB projects. </span></span></p>

      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/ILF/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr"><span>Interactive Life Forms has partnered with USB Promos to replicate one of their products into a custom USB drive! Interactive Life Forms has multiple sub brands and is known for promoting well-being and a healthy lifestyle. </span></p>
<p><span><span><br /></span></span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Interactive Life Forms came to us asking us to clone one of their products into both a USB and USB power bank charger. In order to make this possible, they sent us samples of the product they wanted us to clone so we could get the intricate details down. We worked hand in hand with them to get the replication of their product as true to form as possible. </span></p>
<p><span><span><br /></span></span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/rA1CS-_zp7BhUugdwmCB88g-IgK-fuxxsUhcWgBvhRD3GOWn0nvkVJwuYr66rOnMFAuXHGYQPIWzlP9pLCyHG1qrDqhNeRrAszqHHThbaVpThdQgBrt-BJFsfNnHd9N2zZC9V_8" alt="IMG_6964.jpg" width="468px;" height="312px;" /></span></p>
<p><span><span><br /><br /></span></span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Our talented design team took exact measurements of the actual products and were able to size the USBs and chargers to exact proportion. Also, we were able to match, to near perfection, the colors of the actual products. Approval of the designs was quick and ILF and USB Promos were both excited to get these in to production.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/L7v9yQpcUNLdBd5QHKqwE2yjA8oCi7_E4_49eGiwnwPdpiVa2V82UhCr-UZGo2RaZounGVSTPGmOC8wDFsEd2eXaxWNmEr35k0ipFpSOMHCWOa0FKToxBFBrVS9ImUcJSWBY3z0" alt="ILF renders.jpg" width="575px;" height="324px;" /></span></p>
<p><span><span><br /></span></span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Interactive Life Forms was so pleased with our capabilities that even before we started production on the USBs and Chargers they sent us even more products to replicate for future orders. We look forward to our future cooperation and hope to be able to create even more innovative designs for this great partner of ours.</span></p>

      <title><![CDATA[Featured Project: Dewalt]]></title>
      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/dewalt-power-bank/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://www.usbpromos.com/media/wysiwyg/dewalt-1200.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<h4>The Company:</h4>
<p>DeWalt - a subsidiary of Stanley Black &amp; Decker</p>
<h4>The Challenge:</h4>
<p>Creating imprinted power banks with a specialized logo within a small window of time and at a fair price.</p>
<h4>Our Strategy:</h4>
<p>DeWalt contacted USB Promos on a Friday afternoon inquiring about the pricing and a design idea for one of our power banks, model PB-12507, for an event they were hosting. It just so happens that the head of our sales department used to work in construction and keeps a DeWalt cordless hammer drill on his desk, not only providing him with valuable knowledge about the company&rsquo;s products, but also a great deal of enthusiasm.</p>
<p>The same afternoon the USB Promos team received the initial call, we were able to make a mock-up of the DeWalt design, get approval, and solidify the order.</p>
<h4>The Cool Details:</h4>
<p>We have a diverse team of people working at USB Promos and their expansive knowledge often allows them to interact with our customers on a deep level of understanding, not only of their brands&rsquo; promotional goals, but also of their products. The head of our sales department was able to create a connection with the DeWalt representative immediately and understand what they were looking for from the USB Promos team.</p>
<p>This knowledge facilitated the speed of the order. From initial contact, to the mock-up, to approval, to the finalizing details, the whole process took about 2 hours, which allowed the manufacturing to almost immediately.</p>
<p>The power banks, model PB-12507, are customizable to reflect the customer&rsquo;s design needs. The DeWalt power banks were designed with the company&rsquo;s logo colors: black for the body of the power bank and orange for the lettering. Also imprinted on the power banks was DeWalt&rsquo;s specialized SDS rotary hammer logo.</p>
<p>Additionally, the USB Promos team was the only company DeWalt spoke to that was able to make the quick turnaround time for their event, and we also happened to have the most competitive pricing.</p>
<h4>End Results:</h4>
<p>DeWalt ordered 260 of our power banks with 2600mAh capacity. The power banks were imprinted with the company&rsquo;s name as well as their specialized SDS rotary hammer logo.</p>
<p>The knowledge of the customer&rsquo;s products amongst our staff aided our understanding of their design needs for their power banks and facilitated an incredibly quick ordering process as well as a fast total turnaround time.</p>
<p>The diversity of our team&rsquo;s knowledge means that we are often able to jump into a project already with a basic understanding of our customers&rsquo; products and promotional needs.</p>
<p>DeWalt&rsquo;s final product turned out looking sharp. The power banks were delivered on time for the event, despite the quick turnaround time. Additionally, they were sold not only at a fair price, but at the most competitive price the customer had come across.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Featured Project: Playstation]]></title>
      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/playstation-controller/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<h4><img src="https://www.usbpromos.com/media/wysiwyg/playstation-1200.jpg" alt="" />The Company:</h4>
<p>Sony Playstation</p>
<h4>The Challenge:</h4>
<p>To design and produce custom USB drives mimicking Sony Playstation&rsquo;s PS4 game controller for an internal giveaway at the company.</p>
<h4>Our Strategy:</h4>
<p>Sony Playstation came to USB Promos with an inquiry about designing custom USB drives in the shape of their PS4 game controller. They wanted the product for an internal giveaway to their development team at Sony Playstation Vue.</p>
<p>Our design team&rsquo;s first step was to go out and buy an actual controller at the local GameStop so they could study the product. This is a strategy they often employ when a customer requests a custom USB drive in the shape of one of their products and it usually garners great results.</p>
<p>The team brought back a design for the USB drives that when set side-by-side with the real product looks almost identical. After receiving approval for their design idea the USB Promos team set about creating the controller-shaped USB drives.</p>
<h4>The Cool Details:</h4>
<p>To bring the USB drives to life the team used a real PS4 controller for inspiration. Once the design was set, Sony Playstation opted to order the majority of the USB drives in black, while a smaller number were to be made gold.</p>
<p>The black controller-shaped USB drives were created using black PVC. The gold ones, on the other hand, were manufactured using metallic PVC. The coloring of the buttons and the small nuances of the USB drives were modeled after the real life controller we had in-house.</p>
<p>Finally, the customer opted to have their USB drives housed in custom imprinted packaging. The last step of the creation and manufacturing process was to create these customized imprinted packages in black to store the controller-shaped USB drives.</p>
<h4>End Results:</h4>
<p>The USB Promos team wanted to make the representation of the controllers as accurate as possible, particularly because the USB drives were for an internal giveaway. To achieve this they utilized the real product as a model during the design process.</p>
<p>The customer ordered 450 controller-shaped USB drives in black and another 50 in gold. Employing different materials to reflect the desired colors we were able to create 500 stellar representations of the PS4 controllers in USB drive form. We then created custom packaging for the drives developed not only to protect them, but also to represent the customer&rsquo;s brand. The USB drives were packaged in an imprinted black protective shell for the giveaway that looked great and represented the brand.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Featured Project: Rapala]]></title>
      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/rapala/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://v3.usbpromos.com/index.php/admin/cms_wysiwyg/directive/___directive/e3ttZWRpYSB1cmw9Ind5c2l3eWcvcmFwYWxhLTEyMDAuanBnIn19/key/d769dab0916ef5bc887dc0ffd8a48254/" alt="" /></p>
<h4>The Company:</h4>
<p>Rapala</p>
<h4>The Challenge:</h4>
<p>Crafting a custom USB drive modeled on the Scatter Rap fishing lure produced by Rapala.</p>
<h4>Our Strategy:</h4>
<p>Rapala&rsquo;s Scatter Rap lure is shaped and colored to look and move like a small fish. In order to create a USB drive design that was as accurate as possible, Rapala sent us one of the Scatter Rap lures to study. While studying the lure, our design team came up with and pitched an idea we have never tried before: incorporating a piece of the actual product into the USB drives.</p>
<p>The Scatter Rap has a small piece of plastic shaped a bit like a potato chip called the Scatter Lip. The plastic piece protrudes from one end of the lure (the end with the mouth of the fish) and helps control the lure&rsquo;s movement. The design team decided that they could incorporate this plastic piece into the design of the USB drives to make them even more accurate.</p>
<p>After receiving approval of this unique idea we were able to begin bringing the idea to fruition with quite a bit of help from Rapala.</p>
<h4>The Cool Details:</h4>
<p>This project turned into a very collaborative effort between Rapala and the USB Promos team. Rapala shipped a few thousand of the plastic pieces to us to use in the USB drives, provided additional samples of the lure, and several high-quality images to give us a strong basis for our design.</p>
<p>The USB Promos team took the samples and the plastic pieces and produced a final product that was not only a close representation of the lure, but also included an actual piece of the lure making it extra special for both our team and for the customer.</p>
<h4>End Results:</h4>
<p>Since the USB Promos team decided to incorporate a piece of Rapala&rsquo;s actual product in the design we worked with them closely to make sure the piece was used properly and the design was successful. It was a real team effort.</p>
<p>Rapala was so impressed with the concept for the lure USB drives that they increased their original order quantity from 1000 USB drives to 2300.</p>
<p>Later, Rapala returned to us to order an additional 1400 custom shaped USB drives in a different shape with equal success.</p>
<p>Between our design team&rsquo;s effort and the collaborative efforts of the customer we were able to produce a product that not only turned out looking great, but also had an unique design element that made it special both to our team and to our customer.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Featured Project: Oxley Gin]]></title>
      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/oxley-gin/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://www.usbpromos.com/media/wysiwyg/oxley-gin-1200.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<h4>The Company:</h4>
<p>Oxley Gin - a Bacardi owned brand</p>
<h4>The Challenge:</h4>
<p>Designing a custom USB drive that imitated the Oxley Gin bottle and preloading it with customer content to send directly to an Oxley Gin event.</p>
<h4>Our Strategy:</h4>
<p>Oxley Gin came to USB Promos with a design idea: they wanted a replica of their Gin bottle in USB form. Our team&rsquo;s first step was to go out and purchase a bottle of the gin, a strategy we often employ when designing a USB drive modeled on a customer&rsquo;s product.</p>
<p>The same day Oxley Gin made their first inquiry, the team took a trip to the liquor store and purchased a bottle to use as a model.</p>
<p>With speed and accuracy our design team created a rendering of the proposed USB drive and sent an image of the rendering next to the real product to customer that same afternoon. Not only was the fast turnaround time impressive, the rendering itself was incredibly accurate when set side-by-side with the real product.</p>
<p>Once the team got approval of the design idea we set about bringing it to life. In order to do that we used custom pieces to make it as accurate a representation as possible.</p>
<h4>The Cool Details:</h4>
<p>Since the design for the custom USB drives was based on Oxley Gin&rsquo;s product the USB Promos team wanted to get it as close to the real thing as possible. To do that we ended up including unusual and custom pieces to make the USB drives look like mini-bottles of Oxley Gin.</p>
<p>First, we wanted to get the glass part of the bottle right. To create a glass-like effect we used translucent PVC for the main body of the bottle.</p>
<p>Next, we tackled the bottom of the bottle, which, for Oxley Gin, is a steel cup that caps the glass on the bottom. It&rsquo;s one of the most unique and interesting design aspects of the bottle so we wanted to be sure to make it look just as good in our representation. In order to do that we manufactured custom aluminum caps for the bottoms of our USB drives.</p>
<p>To place the company&rsquo;s name on the USB drives we created custom paper labels, which were almost exact replicas of those on the real bottles, to adhere to the PVC.</p>
<p>Finally, as the finishing touch, we attached cell phone charms to the tops of the USB drives to emulate the hanging ornament on Oxley Gin, completing the nearly identical bottles.</p>
<h4>End Results:</h4>
<p>We created 1000 USB drives in the shape of Oxley Gin bottles, preloaded them with the content that the customer provided, and shipped the USB drives directly to an event in New Orleans. From start to finish we were able to provide exactly what our client was looking for with astounding accuracy, speed, and convenience.</p>]]></description>

This event gathers faculty, staff, parents, student-athletes and all members of the University administration such as the President, Vice President, and Provost. The recognized students receive an award for their performance on the field and in the classroom as a token of our appreciation for their efforts. In years past, we have given them pen and pencil sets, certificates, and other items which are sold in our campus bookstore. This year, we were excited to work with USB Promos to provide a new and practical gift idea for our attendees. The staff at USB Promos was easy to work with, crafted our design just how we wanted it, and also provided a very nice holding case for the USB drive so that the presentation was both formal and appealing. We have received many complements from the students, faculty, and staff about how nice the flash drives look but also the fact that they are practical for the students. Almost every student on campus has a USB drive, so why not give them one which is unique?!&rdquo;</p>

We love our custom USB drives, and hope that everyone that receives them from us with be in awe! DiLeonardo plans on using the USB drives to upload our Design Portfolio to send to our Clients, or to pass out at Conferences, or meetings. We will upload our design portfolio in English, Chinese and Arabic and lock down the files, so they can&rsquo;t be deleted. The Client has plenty of space left to use the USB drive for his or her personal use also, and our Name is always at their fingertips. We also gave a USB drive to our employees, so they have their own drive for personal use. We handed these out today, and they were all happy to receive them, and thought they were great! One of our staff members noticed that the cap slides over the DI dangling from the chain, so you don't lose the cap....we didn't even realize this...so we like the USB's even more now! We ordered a package to send them out in where they will be displayed in a box that pulls open. It is really a unique piece to celebrate our 40 years in business.&rdquo;</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>"My non-profit client launched the "Go On" Campaign, a dynamic statewide campaign to raise awareness and boost college enrollment. The campaign needed to appeal to a youth audience, and also to decision makers and community groups across the state. The client loved how the custom USB drives turned out! It was exciting to see the campaign logo in 3D, as something valuable that people can hold in their hands. The little drives are an eye-catching, hi-tech way to communicate our message. The Go On USB drives are being distributed to audiences ranging from teens, teachers, guidance counselors, lawmakers and community leaders. We've found them to be very practical and fun to use--they fit into a pocket and can easily be shared on the fly. The response has been superb&mdash;our State Board of Education immediately asked to order more of their own to give as prizes for everyone who fills out their college financial aid forms.

The marketing director will "roll them out" to all employees next week. They should be a smash at the show. Don't be surprised if we come back for more USB's at a later time. Big thanks."</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>"We used USB Promos to create Cassette Tape shaped custom USBs which we sent out to music supervisors on behalf of our clients. From start to finish, they were extremely helpful, even suggesting better ways to accomplish what we wanted without increasing our cost. They understood our creative vision and offered suggestions when appropriate. In the end, we were THRILLED with the quality of the USBs, and the response we&rsquo;ve gotten back is great &ndash; everyone loves them! Some people even thought they were real cassette tapes until they discovered the hinged USB port. We will definitely continue to use USB Promos for our custom USB needs in the future."</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>"I want to take this time to thank you for providing us with such a quality product. Recently our agency was asked to make a presentation at a police conference and supply those in attendance with copies of our presentation and related information. We decided to have your company create a two-dimensional flash drive of our police cruiser with an attached rendition of our badge on a key chain. Our badge is very important to our agency and represents the quality of the men and women that protect our city. The flash drives were a big hit within our agency and at the conference. It was a great way to distribute our presentation and promote our agency. From the beginning to the end you were a huge help and ensured the product was designed, manufactured and delivered within our timeframe. I will definitely contact you again for future projects."</p>

      <title><![CDATA[A New Way of Marketing: Custom Wall Chargers]]></title>
      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/a-new-way-of-marketing-custom-wall-chargers/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;" dir="ltr">Regardless of your industry, promotional tools play a significant part in your marketing strategy. You've probably heard horror stories about failed marketing tools. They can truly put your brand at the front of every consumers mind. They can also ensure you are forgotten among all of your competitors as your promotional tools are either passed up or worse&mdash;tossed into the trash for no one to ever see or remember.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/z_gxZK46p0NBpztw-vicLi1XvfxkuyfNUWyWQmluC9SVs7xjhtt_3Z87j80CP8Kts1bg7Mf8dZ6GIt5ffHa0ZC831TqwzSf6xfJdcI-f08IXUHq_e2MAlTMCsWyLN5nB5w" alt="stop_bad_habits.jpg" width="265px;" height="319px;" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">With promotional companies offering the &lsquo;newest and best&rsquo; products to promote your business it can be a bit frustrating to find the right fit for you. However, it is important to not get swept up in all of the commotion; sign spinners, extra tall plastic beer steins, fun shaped magnets and mardi gras beads are a thing of the past. More promising and modern tools involve what every consumer loves to dream about: technology. Technology plays an important role in today&rsquo;s society now more than ever.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/XQDqzngW86qnT1qZiqEOZLHxO_yg5MwB1QrlGWzG5JcP387waIXa5d7LuBpHDMVHXia21slBirk1n9t7Ou0BYiAMoR92o66Wwr6gr-tY9c-KuOvT0_ULpFsWVPbCilo9YQ" alt="Impact-of-technology-on-society.png" width="529px;" height="208px;" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">All of the tech gadgets provided an opportunity for USB Promos to see a need that needed to be filled. For every piece of technology a charger is needed and with every charger leaves an open opportunity for branding. The popular promotional company paired the two ideas together to create custom USB mobile chargers.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;" dir="ltr"><a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/custom-usb-shapes-logo-mold/custom-pvc-power-bank-portable-battery.html"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/RpQv-2PgjPO3ykF_eiANzlAl5qIs1HVoMYjIQ2wXlFPB3Be-qm9OHhH80oS3sZ00JFvozaF52jVmI-Slrs0kLzfD-w_r5jymka1OtXQvCdKxqbGm3K9dgl_Sx0Tsr4ASdQ" alt="USBPromos_customUSB_powerbank_mobile charger" width="475px;" height="232px;" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">There are two types that are offered with a large variety in between: custom standard models and custom shape USB chargers.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Custom Standard Chargers</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">Herein lie a marketing tool for the simple at heart; those aiming for quality looks, but not labor or time intensive. USB Promos offers powerbanks and USB power adapters that can be used to charge USB compatible technologies. With 24 models, over eight color options, three branding options and three types of materials to choose from, you can create a charger as unique as your brand.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/custom-usb-shapes-logo-mold/custom-pvc-ac-adaptor-usb-wall-plug.html">Custom 2D/3D chargers</a>&nbsp;contribute to a more powerful statement as a promotional tool. Each charger that is designed is completely unique; a design can never be replicated through USB Promos. Our talented designers take the time to ensure each proof is an original design tailored to the client's brand identity. A 3D aluminum mold is machined once the proof is client approved. Prior to ordering you can ask for our Rapid Prototyping Service and receive a prototype in as little as 24-hours. This service allows you to see a basic 3D replica of the design and make changes before production. The entire process takes around 3.5 weeks so plan ahead.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">Whether you need &nbsp;to rush a custom wall charger order or you&rsquo;ve got time to spare for a unique 3D charger, our sales team can help choose the best plan of action for you.

      <title><![CDATA[5 Reasons Photographers Deliver Photos on USB Drives]]></title>
      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/5-reasons-photographers-deliver-photos-on-usb-drives/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Photographers are among our most regular customers. The custom USB drives that we&rsquo;re able to tailor-make for each unique photographer&rsquo;s situation are a great way to reinforce your brand to your clients while delivering their photos. Here are some reasons our photographer customers choose to deliver photos to clients on our custom USB drives:</p>
<h1>#1. To Stand Out</h1>
<p>It&rsquo;s part of the normal process with photography subjects to digitally deliver photos--why not do it in a way that makes an impression, and will increase the chances that they will return to you for their engagement photos, their wedding photos, their child&rsquo;s first baby shoot--that you&rsquo;ll become their definition of photographer? You can do this by selecting a USB drive that communicates your style and has your logo printed on it.</p>
<h3>Wooden USB Drives</h3>
<p>Many photographers choose an engraved wooden USB drive. It looks tasteful and organic. That&rsquo;s what Mariah Milan, LLC, of Maui, did.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://mariahmilan.com/blog/"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1406  aligncenter" title="mariah-photography" src="http://www.usbpromos.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/mariah-photography-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"LOVE the drives - my clients have loved them too! Mahalo!" - Mariah Milan (<a title="Mariah Milan" href="http://mariahmilan.com/blog" target="_blank">mariahmilan.com</a>)</p>
<h3>Color-Coordination</h3>
<p>Another idea is to choose a swivel drive that matches your logo&rsquo;s main color, and to engrave your logo on the swivel.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/rush-drives/popular-flip-style-aluminum-and-plastic-usb-drive.html"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1407" title="seawaterfoundationfd1204" src="http://www.usbpromos.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/seawaterfoundationfd1204-300x203.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="203" /></a></p>
<p>See this drive here:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/rush-drives/popular-flip-style-aluminum-and-plastic-usb-drive.html">http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/rush-drives/popular-flip-style-aluminum-and-plastic-usb-drive.html</a></p>
<h3>Custom Packaging</h3>
<p>Custom packaging really brings the message of personability to a higher level. Your clients are no longer receiving only a reminder of you, they&rsquo;re receiving a gift.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/deluxe-presentation-box.html"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1413" title="blackleatherbox-open" src="http://www.usbpromos.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/blackleatherbox-open-300x203.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="203" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Receive packaging for as low as $1/drive. Our most popular presentation box:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/deluxe-presentation-box.html">http://www.usbpromos.com/deluxe-presentation-box.html</a></p>
<h1>#2. It&rsquo;s Not That Expensive</h1>
<p>Our average order from photographers amounts to the $700 - $1,000 range. Many orders include packaging and are in quantities of 50-100 at a time to save money on the bulk discount (our minimum order quantity is 50). For a little more than $400, you can order 50 of one of our bestselling drives with enough space to contain photos for your sessions--and that includes free <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/branding-printing-decoration-options/">4 spot color printing or laser engraving</a>on each flash drive. Prices vary on memory size and model.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/best-sellers-usb-flash-drive.html"><img class="aligncenter" title="Bestseller Pricing" src="http://www.usbpromos.com/USBPromosPrices/bestsellers.png" alt="" width="438" height="285" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">photo: pricing for our best-selling flash drives</p>
<h1>#3. You Can Order Various Sizes in the Same Order</h1>
<p>You&rsquo;ll need to figure out how much space you&rsquo;ll need on average for each photography situation and order drives that have at least that much. If you do a lot of senior photo sessions, but also do some weddings, then you could fill 80% of your order with 1GB flash drives for the senior sessions, and 20% with 8GB flash drives for those high-capacity sessions. You&rsquo;ll need to do your own math to determine what exact sizes you&rsquo;ll need. &nbsp;</p>
<h1>#4. Shipping is Responsive</h1>
<p>Our average shipping time is 10-business days, which is more than enough time for the average photographer.

<h1>#5. You Will Feel Good About It--And So Will Your Clients!</h1>
<p>Many photographers feel a fantastic sensation when they receive their flash drives for the first time. Remember, you created <em>this</em>--your logo is right there, prominent, and the whole package is an expression of your personality and your brand&rsquo;s personality. It will create a talking point between you and your clients as you place it in their hands, and they observe that they&rsquo;re taking a part of you home with them. Just remember what Mariah said:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"LOVE the drives - my clients have loved them too!" - Mariah Milan</p>

      <title><![CDATA[USB Promos Perfect Employee Appreciation Gifts]]></title>
      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/gift-ideas-usbpromos/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 16px;">It is almost that time of year to deck the halls, take out the shovel and purchase a new pair of gloves. While you are busy preparing for the upcoming holidays don&rsquo;t forget to remember the people who support you year round- employees. It may sound hard to believe, but many bosses forget to remember the people who keep them afloat. So start researching and planning now so that you are better prepared to gift your employees something they will appreciate.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;" dir="ltr"><a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/thankyoucards.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1371" title="Always tell your employees thank you!" src="http://www.usbpromos.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/thankyoucards.jpg" alt="thank you+ from+ USB Promos+ employee gift ideas" width="580" height="297" /></a></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Starting the search for the perfect appreciation gift should not be saved for the last minute. That is when you end up making a rushed decision and gifting trinkets you wouldn&rsquo;t even want. Not to mention, there is no faster way to seem like an unappreciative boss than handing out thoughtless and cheaply made gifts.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp; [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="624" caption="Featuring our standard model PB-1014."]<a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/usb-power-banks-powerbanks/10400-mah-powerbank-423.html"><img title="USB Promos makes custom power bank chargers for employee appreciation gifts." src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/nqZ_9FUwOyLU-_P5ZMUEmpIsjAllNYeWc6c5jcWthvvKQ-Jwl_f6HSGZ9PRHkeG1rx2ucYCTPDcuUywp74L9UlKl1sB4y93W6TWWbsEteOejIeUApwjIoMyxxHlocsPg1A" alt="employeegift+powerbank+USBpromos_customcharger.jpg" width="624px;" height="416px;" /></a>[/caption]</p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 16px;">While searching for a good employee appreciation gift, keep in mind you want something that:</span></p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">has a high perceived value</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">wouldn&rsquo;t or couldn&rsquo;t be purchased for themselves because it is more of a luxury item</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">provides functionality in their life</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">adds to the efficiency of his or her life</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">USB Promos has taken these suggestions into mind in order to suggest perfect employee appreciation gift ideas. Our top pick is the custom power bank mobile charger in either a standard design or a 3D shape power bank.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In 2014 USB Promos added a new line of custom shape products. The most popular amongst business owners is the portable power bank charger. For the purpose of gifts to the office, it truly is an all-in-one tool. Employees perceive the customized power bank to be of high value and a true investment that is representative of your gratitude.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Value.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1373 aligncenter" title="Give gifts with value to your employees.

<p dir="ltr">An employee could, but wouldn&rsquo;t buy this for themselves simply because promotional companies have a 50 piece requirement in order to fulfill an order. It is a promotional tool that boosts employee morale while providing a constant power supply for their devices at work or home.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;" dir="ltr"><strong>&ldquo;People will stare. Make it worth their while.&rdquo; -Harry Winston</strong></p>
<p>[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Featuring our PB-1013 acrylic 2600 mAh models."]<a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/usb-chargers-batteries/10400-mah-powerbank-424.html"><img style="line-height: 21.8181819915772px; font-size: 16.3636360168457px;" title="Retail Theme Powerbank Chargers for Fasion" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/iCHM4g90vY36hfqXkAM2zmfcRB8G6YfrqAna2ZPvxFAeGLBDrvxe8ZBKcSO2NR69-1erP-syfi3J8-7lcGu-TQFoqWfNPj8pAuHZf0t4zFxa63YohHsGYuVXiP96qhEgBw" alt="Powerbank+custom+USBPromos+fashion+retail" width="500px;" height="309px;" /></a>[/caption] &nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">Harry Winston was referring to jewelry as statements pieces, but that also included promotional tools&mdash; He just didn&rsquo;t know it yet. The jewelry and fashion industries are always buzzing with the latest trends. Likewise, it is important that the corresponding marketing products are just as attention worthy.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Whether you are in the business of making clothing, perfume, jewelry, shoes or accessories; custom promotional tools should be a staple in your marketing strategy. Your PR team has probably informed you that everything your name graces communicates your brand experience. Therefore, you wouldn&rsquo;t knowingly give someone a half eaten candy bar in a gift bag would you? In a similar fashion you wouldn&rsquo;t give potential buyers plastic cups or flyers that will be tossed away. When you invest in any marketing tool the strategic idea is that you are fostering direct marketing and long-term exposure.</p>
<p>[caption id="attachment_1348" align="aligncenter" width="490" caption="Custom 3D Shape Shopping Bag USB Drive."]<a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/shopping-bag+usb-promos+fashion+-promo-tool2.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-1348  " title="shopping bag+usb promos+fashion+ promo tool" src="http://www.usbpromos.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/shopping-bag+usb-promos+fashion+-promo-tool2.jpg" alt="" width="490" height="630" /></a>[/caption]</p>
<p dir="ltr">USB Promos knows this and finds new technology that is customizable as well as in high demand for our clients. Our newest line of products consists of power banks, custom shape power bank chargers, wall adapters and custom retractable cables. The beauty in these customizable technologies is that you have the power to mimic, replicate or create the necessary look for your brand.&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 15.5555562973022px;">Considering that 75% of consumers keep branded promo items in their workspace, investing in technology based tools will keep your name on their minds.</span><span style="font-size: 15.5555562973022px;">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p>[caption id="attachment_1352" align="aligncenter" width="564" caption="Custom 3D Shape Sewing Machine for 'Sew For Less"."]<a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/sewing-machine-+-fashion-+USB-promos+-Custom-USB.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-1352 " title="sewing machine + fashion +USB promos+ Custom USB" src="http://www.usbpromos.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/sewing-machine-+-fashion-+USB-promos+-Custom-USB.jpg" alt="" width="564" height="608" /></a>[/caption]</p>
<p dir="ltr">Consider a promotional tool with a higher perceived value while shopping&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 16px;">around. Research shows that consumers are more likely to keep a branded promo item that appears to be worth more money. So toss aside the idea of using common products that go straight to the trash like pencils, pens or cups. Invest in promotional technology that has longer life warranties, adds functionality to the life of a consumer and feels more like a reward for loyalty as opposed to a marketing gimmick.&nbsp;</span></p>

      <title><![CDATA[Wood Powerbanks Perfect for Modest or Elegant Audience]]></title>
      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/wood-powerbanks-promotionaltool-ecofriendly/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr">Choosing a promotional tool that will be passed out to hundreds of people can be quite a daunting task. Many potential anxieties can come about considering what the majority will accept, use or throw away. Instead of scavenging through a variety of companies promotional tools, consider using a wood power bank portable charger.</p>
<p dir="ltr">USB Promos aims to be a one stop promotional shop. By researching what is popular we can find and improve options already out there making it easier for you to shop. The newest line of products are our custom power banks that range in charging capacities from 2200- 12800 mAh. To further simplify the process for you, we are one of the only companies to offer real, high quality wood mobile chargers; They offer a simple solution that appeals to most everyone.</p>
<p>[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="538" caption="Featuring our PB-1022 models."]<a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/usb-power-banks-powerbanks/10400-mah-powerbank-432.html"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/7ugOitDOGF9o3iM3shgi-5gVBKmMfszjhFGD-6fpAOvDGqXf8WMFV5vWUdC0_Xuf33mJwPjbArIOVlTMvmZJ43aqkJOxtTbRhUJZ9mTZz_fyczRxpxlkD2Uai9EmaX1mDg" alt="fall_wood_powerbank_nature_natural wood_usbpromos.jpg" width="538px;" height="358px;" /></a>[/caption] The perks of real wood portable chargers include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Gender neutral</li>
<li>Age-friendly</li>
<li>Minimalist style that can be spruced up with ink printing or laser engraving</li>
<li>Can be produced in bulk within 5 business days</li>
<li>No need to design a custom sleeve</li>
</ul>
<p>Powerbanks are a great technology based tool for marketing. While we love our custom USB drives, mobile chargers are a great option for people who don&rsquo;t need a flash drive. Many people save/store data on the Cloud, computer hard drive, external hard drive, DropBox, email etc. However, almost everyone uses some form of technology device on a day to day basis. Thus, they need a charger on hand to prevent being disconnected from the world. &nbsp; [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="470" caption="Our PB-1022 model comes in different wood species."]<a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/usb-power-banks-powerbanks/10400-mah-powerbank-432.html"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/UkzWe5vCX7XHv30ceiQvP1BWXgsK2MUlUUa1A9LVV0G4OioUtA56H6KQ89uGKNyKRfAGnVgeg3Gv_-oFjzNfLMteTYsYYrGDs2RTW5th8bhcXgv5ZcK8umEgcxUwpDlt7w" alt="wood+powerbank+USB+mobilecharger+promotionaltool" width="470px;" height="314px;" /></a>[/caption] &nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">Our models range in charging capacity from 2200mAh to 12800 mAh. The larger the number, the larger the battery cells and longer they can hold a charge. We guarantee at least two full charges with our smallest capacity just to give you a better idea. Prices include powerbank, universal USB charging cord, branding method (print or laser) and shipping.</p>
<p dir="ltr">If you have any questions about our wood or other powerbanks, feel free to contact our sales team: <a href="mailto:sales@usbpromos.com">sales@usbpromos.com</a> or 1-800-515-3990.</p>

      <title><![CDATA[Choosing the Best Promotional Tool for your Industry: USB and Powerbank]]></title>
      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/best-promotionaltool-for-you-usbpromos/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr">Promotional products involve critically thinking about the message you are trying to convey to your receiver. With all of the marketing products and promotional companies out there it can be difficult to navigate what choice is actually best for your company. While it may seem like a good deal to buy lots of frisbees or cups because they are cheap in bulk, that wouldn&rsquo;t match your brand experience if you were a lawyer or accountant. &nbsp;Same goes for the health care industry. It wouldn&rsquo;t make sense for you to hand out yoyos, folding chairs or candy because they don&rsquo;t match the perceived brand image.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;" dir="ltr"><img class="aligncenter" style="line-height: 24px;" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/ls1yFV4fkWPWGIyN9K43rkW4z-We4Mov-l-0i7VD_4ASrdUsGvLzbxQPiQQEdRRSL8DnptX2GSoibEk7YiOGGNrPZWv2FJC5XIRgIX4z0d3pIhRfx3JIsiDKHP9Zi7Jf7Q" alt="I-Love-Brand-300x237.jpg" width="300px;" height="237px;" /></p>
<p dir="ltr">However, health care affiliates should utilize promotional tools that are more closely related to their field and therefore effective. USB Promos recently added a new line of promotional products that are completely customizable with our rubber PVC process to better accommodate clients needing a more unique marketing tool. We have found that custom shape 3D USB drives or custom shape power bank mobile chargers are more exceptional promotional tools.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Custom Shape USB Drives</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">Custom shape USB drives are a great solution for the health care industry. The days of handing out chapstick or lip balm are over. Same goes with heart shaped anything; mint holders, magnets, paper clamps, lotion etc. Men too are hospital attenders, and they do not keep these types of items because of their feminine appeal. Thus the importance of finding a promotional tool that is consistent with your target audience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;" dir="ltr"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/o7NKjF22owofqjqm7rd_owaPknDnFy7FCdcOI5H3CnPG4Foywvd_aUfn1th758clxaBHANbSMR5w5ZAwqp88waSneOyWQeBmxaKMY1BzJJ2Wopf1tXziBcUZC9k8FOynRw" alt="target-audience.jpg" width="545px;" height="408px;" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">Conducting primary or secondary research on which tool will best market to your specific audience including age range, sex, socioeconomic status etc. is highly beneficial. Also, looking into what consumers will do with a variety of promotional tools in comparison with what you want them to do will give your business a bit of leverage when deciding on which product to invest in; for instance, most consumers will keep clothing over a desk trinket like a pencil or stress ball.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;" dir="ltr"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/rM0Q_4JSHdkQetsEFiJXP-xyzfZqb-aAIaxcJ1WZ_6YiSuSA18_0ChSyEyZtaasyUeDDKm_Knks1TEV29vtU6w3Rzp-cfmtdYP1jR9Wr5c0mQcEI9eK4BbdkhLjMTb5k9w" alt="Direct-Mktng-PromoProd-Stat.gif" width="451px;" height="299px;" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">Research shows that technology focused promotional tools are more highly favored than traditional tools like the plastic cup, pen or frisbee. This is because there is a higher perceived value associated with technology; consumers believe a USB drive is worth more money and is more functional in their life than a cup. Custom shape USB drives can be created from any idea, picture, product etc. Not to mention they encourage long-term direct marketing that essentially reduces the perceived cost.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;" dir="ltr"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/SQBijlVfhOVq5OiQQNYv35rQylmWHUNYKt-wHCOQmgQjRLL-T-t8sjX_0-G87myjV43u0euAqsPOVJPLQfggUw0x_XTHlfljGIRqFTZ0DVatxlJyN2SJ2c3FnF2PmJAEVg" alt="USB Promos-Custom Shape USB.jpg" width="624px;" height="312px;" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">If you are trying to encourage long-term direct marketing then a technology promo tool may be your best bet. Investing in quality technology like a USB drive rewards you with:</p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">the ability to initially share data with consumers</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">giving consumers a tool to save and store personal data for up to 10 years (warranty)</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">direct marketing every time USB is used or displayed to passersby</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">While promotional companies do offer standard designs that can be customized, USB Promos offers the unique service of custom shape flash drives. We can take any design, for instance a band aid, and recreate a 3D or 2D rubber PVC replica. Not to mention we can brand with your logo in a raised or extruded rubber fashion like the following for Brand Aid and Sinai Hospital:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;" dir="ltr"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/usuPYN80Ugd_IoKL1QHpNiTaN_95gO0KW0SxdXCWW3P4SmkeyUcO8cLkavWZ9AIjibLzV5XH8CE_BeXtAuKF5Bo9_TfSENIN1_WU-MdlSqSnqIHboiOnZZs_OpdxjrPzAQ" alt="bandaid+customUSB+USBpromos+healthcare+medical+promotional tool.jpg" width="575px;" height="806px;" /></p>
<p dir="ltr">USB shapes can be made in just about any material you can think of, but our most popular are metal, wood, rubber and ABS plastic. ABS plastic is known for its toughness and is impact resistance. While shopping around for your custom flash drives, be wary of companies that don&rsquo;t specify what their plastic is made of&mdash; or you will end up with easily broken, low quality drives that reflect poorly on your business.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/SJJixqnmB5epHqCbEoLn2uuGlEVUR5rjA6cuyPToDn1Ao0geMbeSrpDS3yl2-nA2DZ4yW6NooPvp-C9z_e5vOxQWrnbUSGKeVD-YFjBdr8p21Ex1eI5EXr3DeCKbTwCoUA" alt="pill+USB promos+ custom USB+ healthcare+ medical+ pharma.jpg" width="624px;" height="316px;" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Custom Powerbank Mobile Charger</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">Another technological tool is our brand new line of power bank mobile chargers. They come in standard stock model shapes or a custom 3D shape. All mobile charger models range in charge capacity (2200mAH to 12800mAh), come with a universal USB charging cord and can be printed on or laser engraved. &nbsp;The following examples demonstrate colors and model choices for you.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;" dir="ltr"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/u5QUqEOi-KdFK4vD0CS4bdAMo1FrgXUU4zTvQtAwD6zUMdslt_ukpVFixrC1rYs2Y3ZCKWyj1OT3QZcXCj4hbInuLTrShhgebAcQ9ftf-kE2q8baLE4U4YhxHLaYl67_kA" alt="St Jude_Powerbank_Mobile Charger.png" width="499px;" height="499px;" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;" dir="ltr"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/TGCfW2PcCYy3x9V9gUb_v2U3-Rex_omSlNWcMxs46lVlPH4HGRTwjxdLM0z2PdvP90yFxdOg4HHYRgvzNeVNkCQipwxc9NLkfp3YGp25JgTLXyDtvScBISWYICHVs6Ra9Q" alt="mount sinai hospital_ usbpromos_powerbank_mobile charger.png" width="452px;" height="351px;" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">Similar to the custom USB process, our shaped portable chargers are created from rubber PVC as well. However, the material is molded into a sleeve that envelopes the powerbank. Any shape can be created for you so don&rsquo;t be afraid to ask.</p>

      <title><![CDATA[Boosting Education Strategies with Power Bank Chargers]]></title>
      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/boosting-education-strategies-with-power-bank-chargers/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr">August means the end of summer and beginning of school for many. So how can students, faculty and education systems prepare at large? Give students a tool that can aid in their education while serving your direct marketing needs.</p>
<p>&nbsp; [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="624" caption="Featuring custom rubber PVC 2D and 3D drives."]<a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/custom-usb-shapes-logo-mold.html"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/pYYkxFuDmBY-20FDnnX9KSQ3Imjy0bgqccCzqIGbJWCEY8IOAMKfWG2SrIpUTd0eMs5IL4HrjwDhytMca-XhSne0zl3Efi2_VuGXsCkZL2fSB-4oKO_4x2yaip0Lt7YxEg" alt="school+customusb+usbpromos+university.jpg" width="624px;" height="500px;" /></a>[/caption] &nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">While we would usually suggest custom USB drives to schools to match your promotional needs, we actually have an even better recommendation this school year. In July, the USB Promos team unveiled our promotional line of custom power bank mobile chargers, wall plug chargers and retractable cables. But the power banks, either standard and branded or custom shape, are our top pick for 2014 in every level of education:</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Middle School</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">Exposing young adults to a variety of technologies is great for their learning capacities and creativity. You can teach student preparedness and reliability by requesting that the portable charger is kept throughout the year. Some schools have a rent and return policy to teach those responsibilities. Not to mention it save schools money for up to 10 years if taken care of.</p>
<p>&nbsp; [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="454" caption="Featuring the PB-1001 (2200mAh) power bank model in gold."]<a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/usb-chargers-batteries/plastic-credit-card-style-usb-drive.html"><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/Y4a2-K66MYFUacuW89tpcRMZOYfx05s2E_lkV3nY4JD4cKqerjgerf-7R4--yBwhRXY1-Jfe9JLEkkZoXRc2oTwK7o9WeFYDLh6RHEq8aO_62DtT7S7Aw6CNPfXjBVnmGA" alt="BPMS_MiddleSchool_Powerbank_USBPromos.jpg" width="454px;" height="216px;" /></a>[/caption] &nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>High School: Recruit for College</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">High school is full of memories, good and bad. But one memory that is never forgotten by those that pursue a higher education, is the moment:</p>
<ol>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">They are visited by the recruit of their future alma mater.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">They visit the college of their choice and receive a welcome bag.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">They receive their long awaited acceptance letter.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">All three of these moments have one thing in common that makes the memory and that is receiving some type of promotional product that he or she can quickly display with pride. By changing the branded cup or magnet into a power bank, you ensure that the item will be kept at least through their college career. Not only will the tool be saved from landfills, but you guarantee brand visibility and possibly a future student with every person who sees your branded power bank.</p>
<p>&nbsp; [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="451" caption="Featuring the PB-1011 (2600mAh) model in black."]<a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/usb-power-banks-powerbanks/10400-mah-powerbank-420.html"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Cb6oVuugLKIW4_udEMUVrkHyljUjDAX2z0368rm72SkF_WhUemzdGnmnArPGCTfm4-j-MSJ66YNiXUYmIjWPvVUpWH6UAA4NkcJq5r3tpWniulAFaIUThuVNj6dQRskvlA" alt="Princeton_University_USBPromos_Custom_Powerbank.jpg" width="451px;" height="267px;" /></a>[/caption] &nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>College: School Pride</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">Once a student has enrolled in their college courses, handing out promotional products that inspire school pride are typically handed out. Traditional items might have been similar in style to t-shirts, cups, bags, flags, pencils, pens or planners. However, the times have changed and even more functional are promotional tools than products. Tools facilitate work. &nbsp;Products are produced to exist. Promotional tools like a custom USB or custom power bank have been around, but they are more recently used as tools to brand and marketing your business.</p>
<p>&nbsp; [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="466" caption="Featuring the PB-1006 (2600mAh) in metallic yellow."]<a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/usb-power-banks-powerbanks/plastic-credit-card-style-usb-drive-413.html"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/8STVIrgm-CdvC6cI_7f-poy1C2MUZFIipwWCk52INwXfT46EHS6oMV_uyU114PLlZR6yGokR2pb91TvLUKZJ3ApXBdOSQxGkw3yx2lEgRPeOEhO17vr7lWFKk40xiFRwfQ" alt="UofM_University_powerbank_USBPromos.jpg" width="466px;" height="290px;" /></a>[/caption]</p>
<p dir="ltr">Portable mobile chargers can be completely customized and branded with your logo. While it is more of an investment, the benefits outweigh the costs. You will not face the same issue of throwing away money &nbsp;quite literally. Items that are not seen as functional or branded are typically thrown away within hours of receiving. When that happens you lose money, time and free direct marketing in the future. By investing in a more modern tool like a custom power bank or custom USB you can guarantee almost 10+ years to the dollar of each promotional tool. Not bad, huh?</p>
<p dir="ltr">USB Promos encourages education, back to school savings and marketing strategy longevity. Mention this blog post to your sales team member and receive 25% off custom power banks, wall adapters or custom chargers. You&rsquo;ll also receive free mock-up designs, free printing and free shipping.</p>

      <title><![CDATA[Traditional vs. Modern Promotional Tools by USB Promos]]></title>
      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/traditional-vs-modern-promotools/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr">In the world of marketing <em>promotional product</em> is a frequently used term . In 2014, there are two types: traditional and modern promotional tools.</p>
<p>&nbsp; [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="567" caption="Examples of modern and traditional marketing."]<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/1-YYpVFuxqwhTwrapQIRjvpbEoVyEOGczZHstOF_TuO5eloCu2JKTt8bWF96MgI0vLCm49cloL2OCNqTBDmfRrfGuFNOYZuIU8oY2thHwUzUP9mJzTyvdb0dPzkpHIyR5Q" alt="USBPromos+Promotional+tools+customize" width="567px;" height="406px;" />[/caption]</p>
<p style="text-align: left;" dir="ltr">According to a <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/dynamicimage/power-of-promotional-products-dims">Louisiana State University</a> study (slide 22), 71.6% of study participants who received a promotional product remembered the name of the company that gave them the product.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Traditional promotional tools include things like plastic cups, flyers, pencils, magnets, pens, etc. These days it is less common for companies to waste money and time purchasing these. While traditional tools do exist, they are seen as a bad investment because the rate at which they are thrown away compared to items kept is noticeably high.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Typically, traditional promotional items are at least one of two things:</p>
<p dir="ltr">1. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cheaply made- Items quickly break down and end up in the trash because low quality saves on production costs.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/7Rcv5E07RCrWDi1o10k3CTTgVyqev5h3gOTLqZPcohWjQw3chQpL5Q5lVpXcY7dFK2c5IIL_6i5YSrzVWi-o184bShK4jmnaYiNu17fsy5EkMuXJDGecz6gwVuYeozeQig" alt="landfill_gas_conversion2.jpg" width="528px;" height="361px;" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">2. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Not functional- Consumers won&rsquo;t keep items that serve no other purpose than to collect dust.</p>
<p>If you want someone to keep your promotional tool and remember your name, you've got to give them something that will be used daily and is high enough quality that it will survive years to come. Which brings us to modern day promotional products. &nbsp; [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="501" caption="Featuring the PB-1013 acrylic 2600 mAh model."]<a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/usb-chargers-batteries/10400-mah-powerbank-423.html"><img title="2600 mAh Acrylic Power Bank Chargers" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/efiuTw3CrW7Yqi4GlauVpop5J41jjxZbTL-0zMFNbCkihoNMN23XrjOp-tZ149c0NTP0XeyauYtafi6sap0pRKZT1Tb6tR0u7gQ3OYuS33ETl3N-FzqtMpN4D0BZqkYPXw" alt="mobile+charger+cellphone+chargers" width="501px;" height="416px;" /></a>[/caption]</p>
<p dir="ltr">We live in a virtually connected world. Lives unfold like pages of a diary across social media platforms every day. If consumers aren't &nbsp;using their technology to constantly update statuses, shop, read shocking news, plan the perfect life on virtual boards or bank- they are probably texting. Regardless, we are a generation with technology devices glued to our fingertips, eyes and ears. But what happens when the power shuts off? Or the battery dies? Or you end up in the middle of somewhere between far and few charging outlets? Luckily, that day doesn't have to happen to you. Actually, that day can remain a distant nightmare with the invention of modern promotional tools.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It&rsquo;s easy to think that high quality promo tools don&rsquo;t exist, but you just have to think outside of the box. Technology has become the premiere outlet for this. You can choose from a variety of items including:</p>
<ul>
<li>USB drives (standard colors and designs)</li>
<li>Custom shape USB drives (rubber PVC 3D)</li>
<li>Power bank mobile chargers</li>
<li>Custom wall chargers</li>
<li>Retractable phone cables</li>
<li>Phone cases</li>
<li>Laptop cases</li>
<li>Etc.</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">The most new and popular item is the power bank mobile charger. They are popular because of the convenience and reliability provided. Power banks are portable chargers that use internal battery cell packs to recharge a devices batteries like phones, tablets, GPS, e-readers, mp3 players.</p>
<p>[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="501" caption="Custom power banks come in small packages, but are powerful."]<img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/eDhfizY9TgEzWMMhFFXxELoOteyVk-3zDWb63uMWvLR-VZINC53j6MpoG8Lg5bms6oBCIq7cqmPKyVXxf-dsHmbot5PNvCsNoNwQsD3GkFG9r9LtZo90rAx9DOtWEc6sxQ" alt="CustomPowerbanks_2600mah_USBPromos_bulkUSB" width="501px;" height="309px;" />[/caption]</p>
<p dir="ltr">They are completely customizable when you order through a promotional company. Instead of buying standard models in store, you can actually choose from a variety of colors, sizes, shapes and even materials. Regardless of if you want wood, plastic or even metal; the choice is yours. Perhaps the best part about these devices is that they can be branded to meet your needs.</p>
<p>[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="624" caption="Custom power banks are created with a rubber PVC mold."]<img class=" " src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/hXuLJTkZ-n8pHWCqcOgUeR8v2mZEeMZ_duyKgb5wJCYm4US_w46b0gVmgzSFyOxpS3TsAVWriYDOzVYi8bVJnXK9kzBWu7FZ5DLNgl6pwqTXiSC7r4M2Y266yrHDRqMmUg" alt="USBPromos+Custom+Powerbanks+mobilechargers" width="624px;" height="305px;" />[/caption]</p>
<p dir="ltr">A study by <a href="http://www.ppai.org/documents/highendlowendreportwithcover.pdf">PPAI Research (2011)</a> said in regards to retention of promotional products, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s the usefulness of the item, not its perceived cost, that most likely determines how long recipients keep the promotional items they receive.&rdquo; In the same study on consumers and buyers actions, it says that 6 out of 10 people &nbsp;will keep a promotional product they thought was useful even if it prominently displayed the advertiser&rsquo;s name.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Creating the perfect promotional tool has never been more effective than with modern technology. Print or laser engrave your logo onto custom USB drives, power bank chargers, USB pens etc. Not only are they high quality, but as you've seen are more likely to be kept because of their functionality. With custom portable mobile chargers especially, you can gift them to consumers or event attendees. The odds of tossing a gadget that can continually charge their technology on the road is low and the chance of passers-by seeing your branded name is high. It&rsquo;s a win-win situation.</p>
<p>[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="543" caption="Create a custom shape power bank that matches your brand."]<img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/WR0KiBflPTbkLhCpAcoTxxUNdC84fw6tNgrlJmImVPbswtN8-nv2t-Iy1ElzDcyxvxz7NnHWcZRdhrHUIhY6Xmww-Qmn4wbl06MZUKTe4TUtZ0Y505KMF3D-5xnhPuc5DA" alt="hammer+powerbank+construction" width="543px;" height="323px;" />[/caption]</p>
<p dir="ltr">If generic models are not your style and the simplicity of a printed logo doesn't do it for you- we do offer a variety of custom shape products including:</p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr"><a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/custom-usb-shapes-logo-mold/custom-rubber-pvc-3d.html">custom shape USB drives</a> (2D or 3D, rubber PVC)</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr"><a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/custom-usb-shapes-logo-mold/custom-pvc-ac-adaptor-usb-wall-plug.html">custom USB wall plugs</a> (rubber PVC)</p>
</li>

</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">Any design can be created with the metal cast and rubber PVC process. Typically you will work with our graphic designer who can turn any idea, graphic, picture or product into a 3D replica.</p>
<p>[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="535" caption="Create custom shape USB drives to promote your business."]<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/5BQS3RsR2iw6Y74KKeMkVf4QzIhSHK2WJW4BNw6sOM0puLeEw8hFVGQrJeWo-lp-CzbIysAZOXr-KgkGGzf0f0MS8dcJsN6M80_EoDJGEAyp0yxCaeoCf7VF7sI7ip3_FA" alt="USB Promos+Custom Shape+CustomUSB" width="535px;" height="268px;" />[/caption]</p>
<p dir="ltr">Think about your marketing strategy and budget prior to purchasing your next promotional tool. Create a plan first and then invest into a promotional tool that will last for over 10 years. Be sure to take the time to research the right promotional company for you and ask plenty of questions. The long term benefits and high functioning technology will be associated with your brand as a company that is dependable. That alone is worth the process!</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr">The USB Promos team is always on the lookout for ways to improve new and old promotional products on the market. We are proud that we can offer a wide range of high quality and custom tools to our clients so that you don’t have to settle for less. The newest additions to our promotional tool repertoire are customizable Portable USB Powerbank Chargers and Rubber PVC Powerbank Chargers.</p>
<p dir="ltr">We want you to share in the excitement too, so we’re offering <strong>25% off</strong> custom orders of powerbank chargers and cables for our end of summer sale.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/SOtNJS1bmSvvPoy0SKQ3N4tXSHWu7Ew8XiB21BQEMpauNA4r2kTpOLEc9xkh4gnWPmm-rfjLSZ9y0ysZ0GaNYajGYUYMbhzxYPadEwEbsnyMkjahzAiHAiE1Di1To7hzYg" alt="CustomPowerBanks_USBPromos_BulkUSB.jpg" width="624px;" height="409px;" /></p>
&nbsp;
<p dir="ltr">Power banks made the news recently for having a bad rap. Unfortunately, some factories were caught selling poor quality chargers. To save the reputation of this powerful and versatile device, USB Promos did extensive research coupled with quality testing to ensure we could restore power banks to a heightened standard. Of course, we couldn’t just offer the traditional mobile charger sold in stores. Instead, our design and engineer teams have transformed the idea to give you a completely customized powerbank.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Standard Powerbank Mobile Chargers</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">Choose from a variety of shapes and sizes. You can customize your order by choosing the color(s), charge rate capacity and ports. Personalize your chargers with one of our branding processes if you’d like. We offer both pad printing and screen printing for a long lasting, scratch resistant finish.  Also, each charger comes with its own universal USB cord that fits most devices including: iPhone, Android, Samsung, HTC, LG phones and tablets.</p>

<p dir="ltr"><strong>Custom Rubber PVC Powerbank Mobile Chargers</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">PVC powerbanks are a fun way to ensure your brand is remembered with each and every charge. Our talented graphic designers create a 3D model from your design that is later used to intricately engineer an aluminum mold. Rubber PVC is poured into the mold, by hand, to ensure accurate and non-muddied colors. The resulting PVC rubber sleeve is constructed to envelop the battery and internals based on your design.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Each Powerbank is equipped with a high-drain 2600mAh ICR battery for maximum performance and comes with a universal charging cord.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr">They say there is no such thing as bad press, but that isn’t necessarily true when it comes to the faux power banks circulating the technology industry. While USB Promos now offers creative and custom services to turn standard power banks into one-of-a-kind promotional tools without ever sacrificing quality. Unfortunately, these powerful rechargeable batteries have made the news in recent months and for all of the wrong reasons.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Some of Chinese factories and our competitors were caught passing off less than quality products as superior technology in the news. If you are shopping around the promotional industry for your next powerbank charger, please be cautious. We have put together a short list to help you get the return on investment you deserve.</p>
<p dir="ltr">1)     Be wary of internet stores and sellers with unbranded banks. Many claim to have power banks with abnormally high charge rate capacities i.e. 12000mAh-20000mAh or higher. Those false claims coupled with a very cheap price tag and absent branding should serve as an immediate alert to be wary. Quick rule of thumb: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Stay away from these type of sellers.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;" dir="ltr"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/ViZmIT9FMNGK5gbw8tmi85ZkvpLwdpeE3BTJEHd0H4BpFHc3hkhbFDLCdvh15d95cjwgzS57DB9pok1-Q97rDz8PVHiprko3IvZ_IGfKBNQYYy21Wf_JF9V2lgExj9j1GQ" alt="thumb_3d49.jpeg" width="369px;" height="277px;" /><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/El2WqWtTL5pppvqZtJebuw0Q3RWhBY02m9gJvfZ4dbjC8n3AM_-fs2yKw1KHLP1HH5HHG6jBZznNWSl1TaHPIH5dzaP50fQICKagJIPCOt9RnImRCdjPLyW05_5fEWSMgA" alt="5c72.jpeg" width="372px;" height="279px;" /></p>
<p dir="ltr">2)     Some power banks made in Shenzen factories offer high capacities with low minimum quantities for low prices. Be extremely cautious if you can buy less than 10 chargers for a few bucks a pop. You may fall victim like a Taiwanese gentleman who received an unbelievable deal for a powerbank with a supposed “24,000mAh charge capacity” that ended up faulty and filled with sand.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/PcWxs2geQJHKwSv4YmDy1fIp0z2JdYWQZLIt2EUqUA6AA2TaHrbp5k2T_ainaQrAgdj-jaMu6x9ebFql7rFOQSeGd6SuQ8-9Q5Gd8FjyNO1nHUR6uGF1y-Vs32o-nEqavA" alt="6a30.jpeg" width="400px;" height="300px;" /></p>
&nbsp;

Some may argue that their custom powerbank works great and is heavy enough that it must be the max capacity promised. Don’t be fooled by the weight of a powerbank as that is not an accurate form of measurement. As you can see in the pictures, the faux product indeed had one charging cell and two bags of sand. Yes- sand to trick the average consumer into believing the charger had X number of cells to produce the anticipated power.

&nbsp;
<p dir="ltr"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/2t07b2Pl2bQL1aN2HMPAwWBV4ljuEp-MuovDmWL9mWOBvvMAgL1s5kqkS3udlCYbPsCY4XlFdcCUfZinfdDwe7vKPDYSrLFupb1zjBaVB4kQC9MxC5yEYTl01zYzRcckTw" alt="5524.jpeg" width="300px;" height="400px;" /></p>
<p dir="ltr">3)     If you receive your brandless powerbank(s) and even one looks like the following picture-  return to sender. Notice that there are a variety of batteries used. This is not only poor quality, but also dangerous to you/your technology.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/tftNPl4c9fLG6A6yuAiE0Wu4my1IDTMF5Y9xnyp_z_i-8AhlBEKiRXv1Db3o-il017KLEwtPW8qsb-fberK38rLvAuBFxPsrqXGazemlOfluKpUx3qzeiNtxFaR1jtegnQ" alt="6a92.jpeg" width="386px;" height="247px;" /></p>
<p dir="ltr">The batteries were not produced in the same batch, hence the different colors. Using a variety of batteries means they are probably recycled, broke placeholders and/or putting out not even ⅓ of the charge they should. The most dangerous part about using non compatible batteries is the chance of unstable currents. This could result in charging/discharging issues for your technology like draining the battery or frying the technology. Invest the extra money for a guaranteed, high quality powerbank and save yourself the trouble.</p>
<p dir="ltr">4)      Another issue and a far more dangerous side effect is the probability of explosions. Power banks can explode when battery cells are mixed. Short-circuiting results in periods of higher and non-regulated battery temperatures that heat up the inside liquid and water which turns into gas. The high temperature and the gas can easily cause an explosion as seen in the following picture.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/SYrM-x0jWoUPtF1cW__R1ZSycDsHz5KQFz-zzZ34XEgpQguX2wHxrNeLYAd-rrXSAPItmROftAXh2Fwy8cRRB6kJ8uocMTb3zRvD3AB7JSLx9hjJTQXN6uWEXCtERF42Yw" alt="7495.jpeg" width="381px;" height="251px;" /></p>
<p dir="ltr">While it’s important to recognize what to look for in a low quality and dangerous power bank, it’s equally important to know what a proper charger looks like.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/7tWfktXf3zSUK_CCNCgZ6B0GUIH4fcnalBEy-0uVnisvh2JBHcZEtgRuzAvwwj4bJTVUAPJhEjSxLUCJ5_ntrie-oAWecv6d16RcB18dNs0V50LMt6hoUCPEahk5O--eLg" alt="eb91.jpeg" width="410px;" height="236px;" /></p>
<p dir="ltr">The above picture is what your power bank should look like from a reputable company; batteries wrapped in a separate package.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/Ia1x1Mz389ggb8sAiJciNbdE9jTdjxALWUkPQ9sMsgOAAuKNCZBl_QvE4wXuv3bD0AgnQtNjTdc6rHLd77g8B0ewayacBBsM6BZZuRFADm5DweQpv_MWU8GGexGJqhMdow" alt="bb7d.jpeg" width="420px;" height="227px;" /></p>
<span style="line-height: 24px;">USB Promos is proud to guarantee high quality standard and custom power banks that exceed less than average industry standards. We do not and will never use recycled, misfit or mismatch batteries. Even if that would lower the cost tremendously for you as mentioned above, we will never sacrifice our customer’s satisfaction or safety. </span>
<p dir="ltr"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/JCu0eWuLkl3VPwC3qPQhc2kiCcK6psdx3N7k6NsTEJtPDQzMOjpJ8IlSMp4anVOqpg36i2nzlUfUQNu4KB4CpBK5mXcvNdsthAAtqFmARMt_S6v9ZEWHyGHaGYEjU4X3ww" alt="dd25.jpeg" width="484px;" height="170px;" /></p>
All parts are produced brand new for each powerbank meaning we won’t use old or foreign parts that will quickly destruct. After assembly every battery’s charge capacity is checked to ensure high quality products. We also protect the customer by offering a lifetime guarantee.
<p dir="ltr">If you are planning or shopping around the market for a powerbank, be especially cautious. You can keep these malfunctions at bay by investing a little more and steering away from unbranded powerbanks. If you have any questions while you are shopping around, let us know. Our tech team would be more than happy to help!</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Custom USB Toaster Drive]]></title>
      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/custom-usb-toaster-drive/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr">This Spring, we had the pleasure of designing and producing a custom USB for a new client. The client is known for engineering high quality cookware, much like our high quality USB drives.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Working with this client provided a fantastic challenge for our graphic design team. We were presented with the challenge to either produce a typical USB drive with a logo printed onto it, or we could create a one-of-a-kind custom USB. We successfully completed a custom shape that replicated one of the client’s toasters.</p>
&nbsp;
<p style="text-align: center;" dir="ltr"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/vT7s17_FU5wvwKkoT5jGL0qW2dp7qRSfvPfDz4Y-Llo0bAH-J-6laXaHd6MQBJ-RPs_lyw8Uj2k5HqHyo06i5fL-Nrs2XD_vKF21iZWR7JjMjFDR4l2RPzSWRWxNhysbvg" alt="Avanté+Classic+2-Slice+Toaster+in+Black.jpg" width="400px;" height="400px;" /></p>
<p dir="ltr">The custom mold was made out of rubber PVC. The USB itself was molded to mimic two pieces of toast that can be taken out of the toaster and plugged into a port. It was built to be sleek, sturdy, and simple, just like the client’s products. In the end, the USB Promos team satisfied not only its client, but ourselves.</p>
&nbsp;
<p dir="ltr"><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_O5QnXVUz6SDCqRaMWGIMu6SCS_Gh-6Y-aMhqKeliPgsbVHTEhXOh6CKWnzVE6lVdysV3DB-nvvvQz-c9n62eoeGkKoTqOPWiRIBceLTOL_kFcfBzgf1sDaNwq0FMsxN3g" alt="Promos_toaster_Tfal_custom_USB-vi.jpg" width="624px;" height="251px;" /></p>
&nbsp;
<p dir="ltr">Creating top of the line custom USB drives is what we aim to do. With every opportunity that arises, the USB Promos team sharpens our creative skills and produces the best custom promotional tools this industry has to offer. Our graphic design team is second to none. Our ordering process proves quick and almost effortless for clients. Not to mention, our products are proven to bring in the results you need.</p>
&nbsp;
<p style="text-align: center;" dir="ltr"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/G6dxyiggrpKNBcdDf19Lxw2Vbu3MopeLOoLWa_vTRP05jRATxicCdYi-iC3_lN4C79Kym6ER5Bm3Bdv8VQf3e-CIcqZ8pxpbkTOZwB8bQ_-M3sn-YJMbGHSx15BEkzndYQ" alt="summer_beach_USBPromos.jpg" width="624px;" height="416px;" /></p>
<p dir="ltr">We’re so excited about our custom USB drives that we are offering a summer promotion! Place an order through July and receive 10% off, free custom mold, free designs and free ground shipping. Products are completed and delivered within three to four weeks after an order is placed. If you have an event coming up or even later this year, think ahead and be prepared. You’ll be the start of the show with a memorable and functional promotional tool rather than the typical plastic cups, pens or stickers.</p>

      <title><![CDATA[The Wedding Event USB]]></title>
      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/the-wedding-event-usb/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<span style="line-height: 26.666667938232422px;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Ah, the season of wedding bells is upon us! Brides everywhere are refining their table linens, food display, ‘original’ vows and flower colors. </span></span>

&nbsp;
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Wedding_USB_Toppers" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/rcsbIlhrhR1pXhELGPDP5CPmKT-6uUrRMs4luKKilbr2xm1lpEJnZpu1DFYqdT17XmG0KJKTmroTo8D2Pn-xVXWfdGgdcgs_udOHuYpRwiihqoXGCv32YGtZSM-s0P1egw" alt="funny_wedding_USB.jpg" width="350px;" height="295px;" /></p>
&nbsp;
<p style="text-align: left;" dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 16px;">However, one detail that often takes the last spot on the to-do list is the party favor and/or actually getting RSVP’s from beloved guests. So what’s a couple to do? Whether you are in the beginning stages of planning or in crunch time mode, we've got a simple solution for you.</span></p>
<span style="font-size: 16px;">The USB drive is making its way into the wedding and events industry. More and more people are finding a better purpose for the little gadgets often used for storing important documents, but not this time around. In regards to weddings, custom USB drives provide the perfect opportunity for a personal party favor or wedding invitation add-on.</span>

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="374" caption="Swivel Drive FD-12004-A, CMYK print"]<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/rL8_-5rXuqii4Xgpeyjkc14elKR6Rl1FPWJu2RtYbelJxfzAUPL1US-vIjFhM-5TKMdrNPFIWH9bnxpu6_iepoP3D4W0V6msfcbYXGa03BPGSKdQo-nWb12tp7ylvy247g" alt="SwivelUSB_USBPromos_CustomUSB_Wedding-Party-Favor" width="374px;" height="309px;" />[/caption]

&nbsp;
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 16px;">We've had many clients pick the style of drive that best suits their wedding style and brand their names on it. For instance, if you have an outdoorsy wedding or rustic wedding, choosing one of our <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/usb-drives/wood.html">wooden models </a>would be the best fit.</span></p>


[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="624" caption="Message in a Bottle USB Drive"]<img 96src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/G1peM2zuxNPFkxG88-3GIU8Sd7p1kKmsmstxpaVrX2RrtYWnqZjZESSUPtJAHNr55kUlZ88YA3N32Pm_FRSIfddpV04ujHYwVB3VmbMmk3vhSRWXyVgFiyrnIlr_jzelUQ" alt="Cork-USB-Flash-Drive-.jpg" width="624px;" height="416px;" />[/caption]

&nbsp;
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Next, you can either opt for full-color printing or laser engraving for your drive. To make the USB extra personal, we pre-load data onto the drives like:
playlists, slideshows, menus, thank you videos, and ta-da! You’ve got yourself a custom and affordable party favor.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Another great feat for the USB drive is becoming part of the wedding invitation. We have USB drives that are thin enough to fit into a wallet (<a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/usb-drives/card-disk.html">credit card style drive</a>) and paper <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/usb-webkey-webkeys-web-key.html">webkeys</a>. Either can be branded as mentioned above, but one very cool feature makes this USB stand out- the auto-run feature!</span></p>
&nbsp;

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="201" caption="A Credit Card Style USB Drive, CMYK print"]<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/r2exNC3F1H5y26nKBmi_h5GIcxumATHWmE_7GSDzpLl5Msxwly3kbCUOEEN1bKEtTBKZddbnionBUQMQQmYWzWdNpqCQOjZrd8rKTl7vSSCdMHVHXzOmFpHQv8mZEOyBkQ" alt="Credit_Card_USB" width="201px;" height="310px;" />[/caption]
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 16px;">USB Promos can program all of your USB drives to have an auto-run feature. You know what that means? No more waiting on RSVP snail mail. No more waiting on menu choices. With our perfected programming, your attendees can simply plug the USB drive into their computer, wait for an auto-run URL to pop up (like eventbrite.com, personal wedding website etc.) and hit a button. Your guests can give you all the information you need to continue planning, with one simple click. The best part? You get instant results!</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 16px;">We can make your custom wedding tools within 7-10 business days, so don’t ever think you won’t have time. Make your wedding woes and anxieties one less with the best kept secret and get started today!</span></p>
<p dir="ltr">Cheers-</p>

      <title><![CDATA[Top 10 Uses for Custom USB Drives]]></title>
      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/top-10-uses-for-custom-usb-drives/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Some people consider USB drives a dying technology or unnecessary because of inventions like “the cloud” and Dropbox. However, USB drives are still heavily used in 2014 for more purposes than backing up important data. We’ve compiled a list for the top ten uses of a flash drive, based on what our clients are using them for.</span></p>

<ol>
	<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Promotional tool</strong></p>
</li>
</ol>
<span style="font-size: small;">Promotional USB drives</span><span style="font-size: 16px;"> are a current trend because they are completely customizable. We offer </span><a style="font-size: 16px;" href="http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/usb-drives.html">traditional drives</a><span style="font-size: 16px;"> that come in a variety of colors, finishes, styles, sizes and printing options. Many companies have their logos or names printed/laser etched onto them. Other companies opt for the more unique 2D/3D custom shape drive because it helps with brand awareness/product association.</span>
<p dir="ltr"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/d9EARagEblNrZIfK7kkdah9JWaUhbOIiLEXsj5nn8CHpeUBOw3atYMTc4mrWjPIMhDbH2sCLgSKBm_epcO85fWtoMj6Yh5aE1CaMRuhb_kCl8pZEqi6R_7fLFdwq4MAjdQ" alt="USB_Promos_KIA_Focus_Custom_Shape_USB_Drive" width="262px;" height="140px;" /><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/xktf6MNcJnY_TCNKuWLkfPImYMAtFqp-Rj3p79GtbJUpzhoT8op8h0bfBpcFv_IlsP-wrx8Dwd2JNdnCL3FoDzoGJN61cuNAVPPswBBpgD9fZuUrB3sL16J1tWs7tyDd5Q" alt="USB_Promos_Duracell_Custom_Shape_USB" width="258px;" height="177px;" /></p>

<ol start="2">
	<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Media Kit or Press kit</strong></p>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">Getting the press to notice you or think something you have to offer is newsworthy requires a good ‘ol media kit. Typically, a kit involves a dense folder with neatly organized papers. They are costly to make because of printing, paper and shipping. USBs make <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/tradeshow/">media kits</a> all digital, reducing production costs. It’s simple: pick out a USB drive, preload all data onto it and ship to receiver. This allows the receiver to not only have access to your documents, but also make it easier to pull information (copy/paste) if they do publish a story on you.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;" dir="ltr"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/zCr7eFoyH4GIHNzs2cEW1MYh9DhivhngX_6jkxFllDEAEgrgU952BOST3hzUDqRUR_TL1imvpeEknPab0WJw_qg08G-eZ4D0u2UjWIaO6j04B3NATlU8wuwtyv8tjmrh1Q" alt="USB_Promos_Puerto_Rico_Travel_Tourism_USB_Drive_Custom" width="368px;" height="198px;" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;" dir="ltr"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/SEeoACzjvFp7mMdFULzmuoPWlWrzlioa4J57iUXiszrTTIVqphsp3n_IP2w1D3J-ydLMxknmU-4IAg5uxrT7GYVM5DGwoqkWzgdWFaQS7iHXcEcSSumB8A6ZDdzisClOrg" alt="Make_A_Wish_Cancer_Tradeshow_Conference_USB_Drive_Custom" width="327px;" height="175px;" /></p>

<ol start="3">
	<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Tradeshow</strong></p>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">Tradeshows result in a lot of visibility, traffic and a small window of time to make contact. Because you are not the only one trying to sell something, it’s best to stay simple and memorable. USB drives provide the perfect opportunity for memorability. While most vendors will disperse papers and pamphlets and pencils- it all gets thrown away. Handing a prospective client a custom USB drive means two things: it will not be thrown away with the papers and people will be reminded of your brand whenever they use it. Let’s face it, a functional flash drive will always come in handy.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;" dir="ltr"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/IUaCRi-JHEBveI6XzMYnh17-PXkwgdOusG93Hzb9bv0TEt1ENUpcSgex8koGOTkPXyv2NAIq4Ts_iptCKFiQgyER7yMAYyj0h1V5lcRJWNT-Qwb1Gec-e3pFVk21JCGM" alt="USB_Promos_Submarine_Hugin_USB_Custom_Shape_USB_3D" width="456px;" height="152px;" /></p>

<ol start="4">
	<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Recruiting tool</strong></p>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">Generally, recruitment involves lots of papers, informative emails or phone-calls. Many businesses are making their job easier by cutting down costs, as well as time, by purchasing bulk drives with pre-loaded information. The drives store powerpoints, statistics, history, videos or letters of intent uploaded onto them. Similar to the tradeshow drive, a potential client/customer/worker is more likely to take you into consideration every time they use that drive. It increases visibility and memorability.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/SVH-5361O08AmTXy1iE8XeG0BWof_f2-zex-ZAdh2t1Na2j_UlKuFTiD7i2_xqtSHlWmyZPG5D55PBsm8lrQE3KFTz3wVwvcmnRwg8DYOYjLsVudmIbhkfBeQyipVKGK" alt="USB_Promos_CustomUSB_Education_Alabama_USB_FootballMarketing" width="252px;" height="192px;" /><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/PX-bEUw05ken1tvWjDuzn83nxKIsoaScEqOm4PIDxfjdmGZrngNTEimaUPPHo6KsrRD9BWuL6zmn_gSqSSnBLNCOPlFml_KGbVtFFpqPLWyLzqNCS8bjYFNJpwwo-NOiJA" alt="USBPromos_USB_Custom_Shape_University_Catholic_Valpo_Valparaiso" width="281px;" height="188px;" /></p>

<ol start="5">
	<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Corporate gift</strong></p>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">We have many companies ramping up their corporate gifts to custom USB drives. Branded drives can bring unity to the office, give employees something functional to use; they  can be pre-loaded with letters of thanks, news policies and procedures too.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/DDI_zTTw7koHf3wOAWWKr6DLlxOKYzqqf5P6kOUHpsjGYKkD8PQhSANwPd6lDEDl4KjCzV9mPwDP1gMJR9DVlTQwbPUCU7mfdYr9nHduntLqIw-wDlK5JjfT4tny2epB" alt="USBPromos_Qdoba_Burrito_Custom_USB_Branded_FlashDrive" width="300px;" height="200px;" /><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/XHNu5HhbtWFJ5df0LC-MJ33P69AF7Omrrrg0roBAsMUCKIcq8lT9yB-k7ZMwV0wiXPC7fyuhudR5zmbdNAcNjCYFxFi9NfCuRz_V-Al5DTCMiOKDKrlgQ8wGM9wxS-Jg" alt="USBPromos_Magnum_Icecream_CustomUSB_FlashDrive" width="303px;" height="202px;" /></p>

<ol start="6">
	<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Sales promotion</strong></p>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">Keeping current sales teams and new hires updated on policies and procedures is the key to success. However, it isn’t eco-friendly per say to print off handbooks every time there is a change. Many businesses have all of the documents <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/data-preloading-custom-usb-promos-usb-drives/">preloaded </a>onto the drives. The best part? Whenever there is a need-to-know update, the files can be emailed and uploaded onto the drives again. Simple.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;" dir="ltr"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/HR6xfMKOTNpeGvKMvk8tpDexmPBdTnNhZKpBB5ioHOjXbaVNc2Dny0MENyzUqafzYvfB4_rrPHkZiLK67Nt_4uscr-biIK5h2OrYdbUmj-nxVsuhLD3OqsFEN1Tg1ZwP" alt="USBPromos_Oxley_Gin_CustomUSB_Alcohol_Promotionaltool" width="202px;" height="303px;" /></p>

<ol start="7">
	<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Media release</strong></p>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">A trend on the rise is offering custom drives for any media release. TV, film and music industries are starting to offer these as special gifts or collectibles. The drive is customized with the logo or name. Special releases are preloaded onto them. We have had clients do secret songs, new albums, videos, bloopers, additional footage etc. Again, the drive can continue to be utilized as a flash drive, but gives your brand additional, free marketing, wherever it’s seen.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/smOuX3ySg5go_6yuPQW_eCiiFDkrWxHhbojIqJX_aXlJfO16SkaUL2ke4aQsKJ7QAVLGKpqBXN3dqIOeK5nnJ_LddnGAmLxFsy_s6dXFcfTSH2QPrP9FJ0yBcPZV16n9" alt="USBPromos_Music_Tapedeck_Marketing_Musicians_AffordableUSB_CustomUSB" width="314px;" height="155px;" /><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/hhxIcvTEaZXxoagXlPl9LZYPvJ4xPoBJ_yO3OlDEFKPZ71VeWveacPe3ylSzbJZLq80-KZJFDIXwNB9iKPn9OhEyzgtR2lMYk9GKnAMFRrH2f6GcgQfQqbyOBor7ENPL" alt="USBPromos_Music_MTV_Viacom_Marketing_Musicians_AffordableUSB_CustomUSB" width="264px;" height="176px;" /></p>

<ol start="8">
	<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Educational tool</strong></p>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/education-college-industry-custom-usb-logo-drives/">Educational institution</a>s utilize custom USB drives as promotional tools too! They are being sold in their local bookstores, given at ‘new student’ orientations or sent as a recruitment tool for the institution. A lot of athletic departments preload information about their program, game footage and stats.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/yIz95o9CHpjzLXLfjCW_VQRWj5UBTI1rOU57LWMhxvNDSGyF2ZxdBl5qo89Fgw-bh_vBD1H0YyFrTeBO3xoh-v_rMTjvwrSvXk0q3RtksvILIxvbk6VhDxU3u9BG6rJd" alt="USBPromos_Northeastern_University_Custom_USB_Office_Provost_Education_Marketing" width="301px;" height="201px;" /><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/RZZmwyXp6N06faHkwsWnX9Zn64ggQtgFkpMy4RnEK0-SUsRogRTLBVTjeaZBtQ23RTDvB6HNZUCVqDt2Q52LeItplwHLPI6MLacYnWHdLk2BbdlKsizcn1HpS4DFnQeV8g" alt="USBPromos_Hillsborough_Community_College_CustomUSB_Education_Discount" width="300px;" height="200px;" /></p>

<ol start="9">
	<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Photography</strong></p>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">Photography businesses have also started going digital. It’s expensive for the business owner and customer to have every photo printed.  Instead, savvy photographers have begun offering all of their watermarked photos on custom USB drives. This way the customer can have a safe place to keep all of their photos. Also, some photographers offer a discount if the USB is brought back to every new session.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/MG_9121.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1211" title="Canon_USB" src="http://www.usbpromos.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/MG_9121-300x300.jpg" alt="USBPromos_Canon_Camera_Photographer_USB_Marketing_Affordable_Custom_Flashdrive" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>

<ol start="10">
	<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Wedding/Party favor</strong></p>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">A newer trend is utilizing <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/">custom USB drives</a> as party favors instead of gifting junk. The drives have been preloaded with recipes of the food served at the event, playlists from the married couple, photos and thank you notes.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;" dir="ltr"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/zuIcl9ISwILnPoFWiVMPnBOKfwexHpyHDG7WD03cZ49YwIKL83ZRf5LogtuKKWLUEF_55PI0-EwOrfl5ZvGC3ZzALJ-ORReqy48F1M2x3GlBwd8SDRtYOgHeYp4ezNcH" alt="USBPromos_Wedding_Party_Favor_Partyfavor_Custom_USBbranded_Flashdrive_savemoney" width="279px;" height="231px;" /></p>

      <title><![CDATA[Working USB Parts: Roy Rogers and a Rocket Launcher]]></title>
      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/working-usb-parts-roy-rogers-and-a-rocket-launcher/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr">The USB Promos office has been very busy the past couple of months thanks to our custom shape USB promotions. Throughout February and March we have offered our clients: 10% off of custom USB orders, free mold charge, free designs and free ground shipping. Madness, isn’t it?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Our custom shape USB drives can be either 2D or 3D, simple or complex. Our graphic designers work very hard to create the most interesting design for you. One of our favorite customs produced in February was for a department of Roy Rogers (American food chain).</p>
This custom, while a simple 2D design, would be considered complex in the USB world. One of our graphic designers created the concept of a movable part for this client. Instead of creating a simple model that pulled apart to reveal the USB, our designer made the sun appear to swirl upon rotating the USB outwards. See for yourself in our GIF:
<p style="text-align: center;"><a style="font-size: 16px;" title="gif creator at gickr.com" href="http://gickr.com" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://gickr.com/results3/anim_6fda05e9-90e9-c264-6d7b-3510b3c71bef.gif" alt="how do you make a gif" width="450" height="300" /></a></p>
<p dir="ltr">Pretty neat, isn’t it? The following collage includes picture by picture of the sun moving and USB rotating outwards.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/AFTJVGg6mBdzof7-8orLQ_3hRtSXlQJbPUqksWRg1va03NYTwd4wI1BpLAO4dut3RN4EIGJnwYyL_sQCqBudebUDOotZItv8LpUQHkmeJfDk62-SjTttkXa2ImXQsw" alt="Roy_Rogers_Custom.jpg" width="190px;" height="649px;" /></p>
<p dir="ltr">Custom shape drives provide the perfect opportunity to market your brand or business. Especially when we can incorporate moving parts for our clients; the working parts help communicate what your business, product or service does.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Another model we created and produced was a rocket launcher. Not only did our graphic designer do a tremendous job in designing an exact USB replica of the client’s rocket launcher, he also designed the top part of the model to lift up and reveal the USB drive.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;" dir="ltr"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/6LQRXDti_XbldFhHldHqAM8dYk6cXgZygM1Su0Emg1Hs0esjc9f6mDdiUJrDvACAjTsEGLtubHqFceeIRFbWY75OnT0tPxYw72FQrl8h-ZzFf6K7YsMFA2qZYbqalQ" alt="Gobain.jpg" width="397px;" height="511px;" /></p>
<p dir="ltr">If you would like to see a free mockup up of your next promotional USB, feel free to contact our sales team by emailing <a href="mailto:sales@usbpromos.com">sales@usbpromos.com</a>. Whether you are interested in a traditional model, simple 2D or complex 3D shape drive- we are excited to work with you!</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr"></p>
<p dir="ltr">Choosing the right USB for your brand can be difficult with all of the options out there. While all promotional USB drives serve the same purpose, to promote your brand, some styles are more preferred than others. USB Promos is compiled of a great team of graphic designers and sales representatives. Together, the team can create the custom USB style you are looking for.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/LNiBHV9fxaUluzPQBMiCsT7IAWte8Dgm43Yx7cBKv3M6tJuZ7Zt8sZdwzT1enA6Z_rga3_Oy95b6iPaGSZGTmlI-p3PAEVb5V3ydKL_SVEnGEemVNe4fONYRqw" alt="have them at hello.jpg" width="300px;" height="421px;" /></p>
&nbsp;
<p dir="ltr">We specialize in designing and producing <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/custom-usb-shapes-logo-mold/custom-rubber-pvc-2d.html">custom shape 2D</a> and <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/custom-usb-shapes-logo-mold/custom-rubber-pvc-3d.html">3D</a> USB drives. We have had lots of experience producing custom shape flash drives and have streamlined the process as a result. That means an easier <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/blog/infographic-ordering-process-for-best-seller-usbs/">ordering process</a> for our clients. You simply tell us an idea, approve designs, exchange information and receive your custom USB order- It truly is that simple.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The process begins with your idea. For example, Gloss Media wanted a nail polish bottle for their own marketing purposes. One of our graphic designers created a rendering in as little as 24-hours and emailed it to the client for approval.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Uupd6P0p1nNRi382MdQtvXGAk5zLraBrxvLWLRRq-UHxfRBx8J1B7Xi-kT3V4kHCBO3qyAYelhxP0V6QyUMI1HEjJxsnEXHjUsoFo-jVyFesi4u5sjUFtT6uPw" alt="Screenshot_13.jpg" width="471px;" height="408px;" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;" dir="ltr"><em>Nail Polish Bottle Rendering</em></p>
<p dir="ltr">After approving the rendering and completing an order form for our sales team, we used our 3D printer to create a prototype. The prototype is used to create a custom mold in our production facility. Once the mold is created, your order is produced and assembled.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/5slrQLhIOJwoVsRKcvz9Xz89LlWIo5utkCYYxjfIXatJJrVyDXLDDDDe56FW0q0BWZjbOgBIzK4Yk-X2aon5HJ6Z3_NlrqeHITL5dF5V_WT-yUI2B1Kc-tF7uA" alt="Polish mold.jpg" width="326px;" height="324px;" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;" dir="ltr"><em>3D Prototype and Final Product</em></p>
<p dir="ltr">Your USB order is shipped to you individually wrapped and ready to handout. If you need some data preloaded onto your USB drives, we also offer those services. Delivery times may be extended depending on the size of the preloads.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/m2dKMDTHizcr2O89lZYi5UeN5V_L7vb6l5WW-S690LIPElqpwoGMK38ykS9f6Sa1VR-ZrNBCdPZ0FgY8FXK8iQDQxdohKkRyWpZRU34ZaSMBgE3MR14JxQBv1w" alt="small1141.jpg" width="624px;" height="416px;" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;" dir="ltr"><em>USB Promos Nail Polish Final Product</em></p>
&nbsp;
<p dir="ltr">While you are shopping around for your next promotional tool, keep in mind that every USB business specializes in certain styles. Before you decide on a USB producer, be sure to flip through their image gallery and ask for sample to get a better idea of the quality you can expect.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr"><em>Things are &ldquo;shaping&rdquo; up!</em></p>
<p dir="ltr">For the month of February, we are offering a promotion on custom shape USB drives. The promotion includes 10% off custom shape orders, free mold charge and free designs. This blog post will help you to further understand what a custom shape USB drive is and how simple the overall process is.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Starting the exciting process of capturing your brand logo or product/service in the form of a custom USB begins with an idea. You will work with one sales representative throughout the ordering process. With your representative, you will conceptualize what your future promotional tool will look like by sending him/her a &nbsp;general idea, rough sketch, complete rendering or a physical product.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/1br8aNxMxrw37oxuUtGmS3xBTC5m7inBL0pydxNYImWGSp8eLHn5SNq_xQmnDOiBXSrZPoHRI4r0c8NjD-nbLUmaKb6yHZtkUDD9yA4ISV9dKtf5iHX9GjUVHw" alt="" width="433px;" height="316px;" /></p>
<p dir="ltr"><em>Rough Sketch for Custom Shape USB</em></p>
<p dir="ltr">Once the idea is received, our sales representative will also request:</p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Colors to be used (Pantone)</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Materials to be used (leather, rubber PVC, plastic, metal, wood etc.)</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Memory size and USB drive quantity</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">When all of the correct information is gathered, it will be re-directed to one of our talented graphic designers. Our graphic designer will create a mockup 2D/3D rendering for you in as little as 24-hours.</p>
<p><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/7vX6w1ARIR-lvgdP_g3QxoRJtiHPhPoDlxLs7tItxyLupbk_tQ9u7aVLNnWnHcTcpsFjktTCLN91IeHyL6bdu2io5xmNU4x9iD85Xy_Fw5yIv4TCh59dAMxpUA" alt="" width="533px;" height="439px;" /></p>
<p dir="ltr"><em>Mockup 3D Rendering for Custom Shape USB Jet</em></p>
<p dir="ltr">The mockup will be emailed to you. At that point, you can approve the design as is or suggest edits. Any changes made will result in the same process: graphic designer creates new rendered version, emails to you for approval or suggested changes. Once you have approved the final design, our talented graphic designers will then print a 3D prototype from the approved design. This process can take a few hours depending on the technicality of the USB design.</p>
<p><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/tphCComLfpeP136PQsVsbbtKaENgSKQEbV-pjFEWYvcaO2tY0WA_mXDxlJM9zD8LIGGNk6ZuNlXBUjDRn2DD5o9eFgY5fSskLqK4PfWq80eBhb7AVdvmwhyzEg" alt="" width="490px;" height="170px;" /></p>

<p dir="ltr"><em>Front view of prototype with exposed USB.</em></p>
<p dir="ltr">The prototype is used to create a mold cast that is specific to your order. Typically, there is a fee to do this because it&rsquo;s an intensive process and no other company can use your mold. Once your mold is created, our production facility will create and assemble your custom shape USB drives. The entire process should take about 3-4 weeks, However, the quicker details are finalized, the sooner your order will be completed.</p>

<p dir="ltr"><em>Final Product: Saint Gobain Jet- Custom Shape USB Drive</em></p>
<p dir="ltr">If you have any other questions about the process or would like to see your free design, simply email<a href="mailto:sales@usbpromos.com">sales@usbpromos.com</a>&nbsp;One of our sales representatives would be more than happy to assist you.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Also, don&rsquo;t forget to ask about our February promotion to save on your very own custom shape USB drives.</p>

      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/interview-with-our-contest-winner/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14px;">I had the pleasure of interviewing one of our "Liven Your Drive" contest winners today.</span></strong></div>
<div></div>
<div>Kyle Donlan, is the LinkedIn winner from USB Promos Greener Technology Month. During November, we encouraged our social media followers and clients to choose greener technology (bamboo, recycled wood, recycled cork, maple)USB drives. His simple answer won him a maple credit card style USB drive with 8GB memory. He provided us with his own custom design:</div>
<div></div>
<div><a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Donlan_Contest_Open2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1068" title="Donlan_Contest_Open" src="http://www.usbpromos.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Donlan_Contest_Open2-1024x682.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="426" /></a></div>
<div></div>
<em>The following is our email transcript:</em>
<div><strong>Nicole: How did you find out about USB Promos and the November promotion? </strong></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 12px;">Kyle: "</span><span style="font-size: 12px;">I found out about USB Promos when I first started up on LinkedIn and started getting my bearings on the website. I came across USB Promos and thought it was an excellent idea to be able to customize and personalize your drive which contains some of the most personal and precious content... Through following the company on LinkedIn, I was able to get the update about the promo and I just kinda went for it and used my idea of re-branding myself because I am currently in the midst of doing so." </span></div>
<div></div>
<div><strong>What do you plan to preload onto your custom USB drive?</strong></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 12px;">"I plan to preload my current collaboration projects so that I can always have them readily accessible when I am at other artist's studios and spaces. I also plan to put some of my favorite personalized illustration pieces on it because this is a drive I want to have on me; just as much as my ID and credit card. The world is smaller than I thought and opportunities go fast." </span></div>
<div></div>
<div><strong>How do you plan to use your USB? Interviews? Portfolio? </strong></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 12px;">"I definitely plan to use it like an extension of myself like how I feel my phone is; something that is personalized and useful. Interviews would be a must to bring it to, but not so I can load up my files on the spot- I always come prepared. I would use it more so to show my process and creative style if the interviewer asks for a more in depth look. There isn't normally one path to an answer in art, especially digital, but a "million" different ways of getting to it." </span></div>
<div></div>
<div><strong>How did your USB turn out?</strong></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 12px;">"I think the USB came out fantastic! I was super impressed with the level of detail in the wood grain and how well matched the USB was to my mock-up I sent for assistance. The designer did fantastic and the customer service was fantastic. I felt like I was talking amongst friendly individuals who  were excited about what they did."</span></div>
<div></div>
<div><strong>I see you are a graphic designer, what is your specialty? </strong></div>
<div>"I am indeed a graphic designer &amp; illustrator. I specialize in stylistic branding and digital illustration, but can go as far as websites and advertising, to photography, video editing and production. I really try to focus on design media as a whole, with a personal style I have always worked with and liked my whole life."</div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div><strong>Are you currently employed? If not, what kind of position are you looking for? </strong></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 12px;"> "I am currently working as a freelance designer and illustrator, but I'm looking for full-time work in a design company or agency, as a junior or entry level, that fits my style. I have worked in design facilities before, but nothing that I found I truly enjoyed..."</span></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div><strong>Where can someone find your work?  </strong></div>
<div>"I am currently about to finish my website <a href="http://www.kyledonlandraws.com/" target="_blank">www.kyledonlandraws.com</a> which should be out in the next couple [of] weeks, but I am also always posting [my]work and fiasco's I get myself into on my Instagram. Search [for] me under : secretkdd"</div>

<p dir="ltr"><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/gnlfsNZvDn8GeEp-q9f5OXaUv5ASDcCIQO539iTQRmSaRPmE7uyZvrJyMMr3oXIAouo4g98tRVTormgRw8oGEl0Y6t0Ree7g-guBNt_NYHJtpytt0wQFCDQS" alt="" width="325px;" height="356px;" /><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/5k37XVaXY5AtIkzsdQCuFrXN8q3aH7bXpLFDapB2R77r7oSjvcy-OYbZQkded7Ctno7l0Kkg0ELGOUebjpJZwL6jgrZKDlkK3A6Jli_t4A4cVdF7csxP84Fo" alt="" width="253px;" height="329px;" /></p>
<p dir="ltr">Not only are we capable of <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/branding-printing-decoration-options/">printing or laser etching</a> the packaging of your choice, but we can also take it a step further. USB Promos offers the option to customize the inside as well.</p>
<p dir="ltr">We offer a variety of colors of die-cut foam including standard and pastel versions.  We even have a camouflage foam for military and government contractor USB drives.</p>

<p dir="ltr">The foam will be cut to fit the shape of your <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/">custom USB drive</a>. Clients often choose the color to enhance their drive. For example, a racing company chose black foam to give the impression that the race car was on asphalt.</p>

      <title><![CDATA[First Impression is "Key": USBs for Realtors]]></title>
      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/first-impression-is-key-usbs-for-realtors/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr">The real estate industry is always growing and becoming more competitive. According to realtor.org, there are almost one-million registered realtors, alone, in the United States. Most of those realtors are also riding the technology wave. They are learning the importance of technology and how to incorporate it into their business. USB Promos supports many of these innovative realtors and works with new clients, every day, to develop a better marketing strategy involving custom USB drives.</p>
<p dir="ltr">USB drives are strongly associated with saving personal files in school or at work. However, a select number of innovative minds have begun using USBs as promotional/marketing tools. Our realty clients typically lean towards two styles when choosing their next marketing tool.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The FD-1240 is the most ordered by real estate agents.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/smallkeyhand.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-1032" title="smallkeyhand" src="http://www.usbpromos.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/smallkeyhand-1024x853.jpg" alt="" width="540" height="433" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;" dir="ltr"><em><a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/usb-drives/metal/full-stainless-steel-chip-on-board-key-style-drive-360.html">FD-1240</a> metal key</em></p>
<p dir="ltr">Many luxury realty companies use this flash drive because of its timeless look. The “old world key” embodies the timeless look that can be enhanced with laser engraving, screen or pad printing. It comes in gold or silver.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;" dir="ltr">Realtors looking for a more clean and basic model choose the FD-12019 model.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;" dir="ltr"><img class="alignnone" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/cvEtPnKgAU4vfsx4W61oeFsHDfWtVzVu5s9weZBg7IpFdZrimxJbKeAjIIFqnW3RXT8Fmzixz2U9x9qdOYlp4_pKz_4kZV-2uOHuhGWyJ7RT5c9ZYzaEKhnZtg" alt="" width="286px;" height="156px;" /><a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Screenshot_22.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-1036 alignnone" title="Screenshot_2" src="http://www.usbpromos.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Screenshot_22-300x171.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="171" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;" dir="ltr">  <em><a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/usb-drives/metal/stamped-aluminum-cob-key.html">FD-12019</a> Metal Key</em></p>
<p dir="ltr">This aluminum model is built perfectly for key rings. Many of our realty companies will provide their agents with this USB to attach to their keys. The model comes in blue, cyan, black, red, grey and green. Once <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/data-preloading-custom-usb-promos-usb-drives/">preloaded</a> with data, it provides the perfect opportunity for agents to show clients the current properties they have available, virtual walkthroughs or even general statistic sheets of where properties are located.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Regardless of the model, custom USB drives paired with data services make for a great promotional tool. Preloaded drives make information easily accessible for realtors. It simplifies the entire process of opening various folders to retrieve various documents or media. Our <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/data-preloading-custom-usb-promos-usb-drives/">data services</a> enable clients to put everything in one place: videos, pictures, presentations, web URLs, lease agreements, applications etc.</p>

&nbsp;
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 16px;">From January 15th- February 7th, USB Promos will utilize its domestic production facilities in the U.S.A  so that you don’t have to miss any deadlines. During the Chinese New Year we will be offering a few promotions to satisfy your USB needs:</span></p>

      <title><![CDATA[Making the Transition: Wood is Good ]]></title>
      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/making-the-transition-wood-is-good/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr">It’s Greener Technology November at USB Promos, but what does that actually mean? (Click here for <a href="http://bit.ly/1egt2nY">video</a>) Well aside from offering 10% off your wood USB drive order, it means educating consumers to make a better choice.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Since you’ve found our website, it’s probably safe to say you are looking for a custom USB drive. All of our USB drives are fully customizable and make a great <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/blog/why-marketing-with-usb-drives-works-coca-cola/">promotional tool</a>. However,  only some of our drives can be considered “greener technology,” like our wood drives. All of our wood models can be customized by choosing a wood specie. We offer wood models in recycled wood, bamboo, cork, maple, walnut, beechwood and rosewood.</p>
<p dir="ltr">If you are considering USB drives we highly recommend transitioning the model of your choice into the wood version, if it is available. Most of our best seller models have a wood counterpart. For example:</p>
<p dir="ltr">Credit card style (plastic)                                                     (wood) 16014 <img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/kEdtIs9l9_z4pBqN-xl618FIXhEQj1HrvFDGBLIjYXRQ-nSZTiem8Z0bC_ZeslGo7k1GaVeDMCFYnkN-0a7hyoJ_5Wa5ydtYrN2Qg0-xe518fUGdHgvZ4aV5KQ" alt="" width="251px;" height="167px;" /> → <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/dMsk3av6cSv1arIj9Aw50g8YSW5pnFFWIUdEqxRbntvnBd6HDCfxserq5swVlT4jJBpjGmw8lgdju-x8CmastKuB8lHW9ix1Edf1wRpqPJK5VQi8_t5aQdQagg" alt="" width="271px;" height="163px;" /></p>

<p dir="ltr">Sometimes clients hesitate in making the switch from traditional <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/usb-drives/plastic.html">plastic</a>/<a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/usb-drives/metal.html">metal</a> USB drives to <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/usb-drives/wood.html">wood</a>. Typically, it is because they were not aware that wood drives receive the same customization process.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Instead of choosing a color for a plastic USB, the client would instead choose a wood specie for the model of their choice. The next step would be <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/branding-printing-decoration-options/">branding</a> the USB. Many clients are unaware that our wood models, too, can be branded. We offer the same processes as traditional materials including CMYK print, screen print and laser etch.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Another important detail to consider when ordering USB drives is that you essentially have the power to use a more eco-friendly drive, a greener technology. After the life of the drive is reached, give or take 10 years, all of our wood models are 100% recyclable. Any metal/plastic attachments- as seen in the swivel clip model above- can be separated and recycled. The memory itself will be detached from the wood casing and shredded. Any precious metals, like copper, within the memory will be recovered through smelting and recycled.</p>
<p dir="ltr">A couple of our <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/usb-drives/wood.html">wood models</a> are actually already made out of 100% recycled stock.

      <title><![CDATA[Top 5 Items to PreLoad onto Your USB Drive]]></title>
      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/top-5-items-to-preload-onto-your-usb-drive/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr">Impressing people with your <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/usb-drives.html">custom shape USB drives</a> is easy. Who doesn't love to see one of their favorite brands in a miniature form? Even if you get a <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/best-sellers-usb-flash-drive.html">traditional custom printed USB </a>drive, people love receiving functional gifts that display their favorite brand, company, product, service or place of employment. Unlike some of our competitors, we offer data services too. Our most requested data service is preloading. We can <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/tradeshow/">pre-load data</a> onto your <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/usb-drives.html">USB drives</a> so that they don’t have to. While sales sheets, product information and catalogs are very popular, these are the top 5 <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/data-preloading-custom-usb-promos-usb-drives/">preloaded</a> items:</p>

<ol>
	<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Photos</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a slideshow should leave you speechless. Photos are a top pick to preload. Typically, at least one photo makes it onto a USB drive and one of the other choices below. Something so simple can capture everything you are trying to communicate in one picture. Photography businesses will often preload the entire photoshoot for their client. Motor companies releasing new cars display collages of the new beauty. Restaurants showcase their favorite menu items and PR firms display their portfolio. The options are endless. No wonder why photos are the top preloaded item.</p>

<img class="alignleft" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_hGoto_0UrW9dhFT3VP-xJl37wE95S0DJ9KUnJ03kHMzNpLZZHXoitrJ4fBqQF8K8uwZJ-8QuoDH4m9xmJzl5JzoIx86eP4eT4pn8bPv9N44t21KFS7FmGd9tQ" alt="" width="255px;" height="240px;" /><img class="alignleft" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/6TkDMMXnaTuh1rfoWonDuhazFGG-CV2VJI1Ed4IRQWzf44HoTTOsIpgif3U4P3sRkOaJLiYbAARw7rfyUIgW6rgR7-34JF2PDWkdofY3TZXx4uPvJKR9Kg6YjA" alt="" width="313px;" height="235px;" />
<ol start="2">
	<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr"><a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/tradeshow/"> Press Kits</a></p>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">Getting the press to notice you or think something you have to offer is in fact newsworthy requires a good ‘ol media kit. Have your history, backgrounder, press releases, print-ready-photos or logos, FAQ, audio/media files etc.</p>

<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/IosDIDT7jvveTRX7KboY8xqxtb-YmoDUMkUiMMRaIzdPQ-0FEi4qxXgrayxvm8Fy6kacHmFIG52eqp57IxpkTicFlLm_vXk5c-gOxXvekiW66Ec9OY7NHBOhew" alt="" width="312px;" height="224px;" /><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/KDBzPkbAKfYL43sQbvHf04o3xvJlTCQ_riR-XpzKvQ9mNCZrxnUXX47HumRYN4vpXZSP9UMpbDbLtBGcIhKeKuHQqxqlU5bBiv4MmxvTa523NzLQYBeOu_n4Ig" alt="" width="214px;" height="279px;" />
<ol start="3">
	<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Music</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">Many clients involved with the music industry will have music preloaded. Some clients use their promotional USB drive for new albums, EP albums, special recordings etc. Even if you aren't in the music industry, theme songs or songs that set the mood for your business are always great to preload. <img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/hYtWUgkXkhHxXL0Xlo8iP5s4eJJEaaxbUSbkkgIdLu5S7SO-od31uFYrzupRmumqM2K62Jq_SucIYoO_F8RxwnceCDCt7Fp02eI6ZEwZtmBPa77k9zMvQPEezA" alt="" width="291px;" height="218px;" /><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/fehX2s3vXjswHTvj0-RSKzIDmQdVTDs998E534LVCJzt9YllqMPRJkHDCRnHNM0rh3jfjE1N9TQJLrwDB1ZhHMrPtjuFa0CeLQpYdSUOV4PC-JfSNitXXNcz8g" alt="" width="275px;" height="175px;" /></p>

<ol start="4">
	<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Presentations</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">When you present anything to anyone the whole point is that your audience will remember the information. Your hopes are that your audience will be able to easily access, recall and utilize the information given to them. A new trend is offering up USB drives with the most important data preloaded. Popular items are PowerPoint's, websites, datasheets, infographics, statistic sheets, slideshows etc. So if you have a conference, meeting or tradeshow consider handing out a powerful pre-loaded tool.</p>
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/gDiBrTVGz0t85A_iSN-K4jl-F3AcpnNJDeAhOCOG9EyZZ82BotRqPn255zcoZyR2ngveQl5NbyAeBsZjaXEit0wbvdk2Ss3DK6p2Ri4A5hAbAX2PecURoiObvw" alt="" width="298px;" height="151px;" /><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/BJliLOi-FWsAy5zqduABXJ6frOwPUj2Vd_f7Xb-Pi9_AMUZjwumjM86Mpt-uwAkNHzm6IS8YIkHWqlz6Hbp5Pd3VmDUYIL5hUOXCY0nW1a2frHqV3dVb8i4tZQ" alt="" width="251px;" height="202px;" />
<ol start="5">
	<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">School Curriculum</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">Let’s face it: education is expensive and important. Schools from every level are starting to utilize custom USB drives for their current and potential students. Some gift students with a drive sporting their school logo to be used during their time there and beyond. Why? Because over time it saves the school money. Teachers can preload syllabi, presentations, projects, ebooks, powerpoints, grades, worksheets, videos etc. and that in turn saves them money on wasted paper and ink. Universities are beginning to use the<a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/education-college-industry-custom-usb-logo-drives/"> USB drive as a recruiting tool</a>, especially for athletes. They preload all of the game stats, roster, game footage, offer letters and so on. For any education level, a custom USB demonstrates school pride. That is priceless.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/81LlTnIKc_uvvt14KYmycLkyhxkLn5KPfUB_f4aOBQvmCZnQw0Gi6NosCcSstWxQ_TT-Yv-4JSLGhhkue-b43xTw3aUgl7-HX17BhaOROczLBK48vVdYxmmcAQ" alt="" width="273px;" height="182px;" /><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/7wxRW4T_L3dC-92mxn0P8d5vuwKeLnUUW9pULD7TadfWpP6IEXoRTNm_dFb23dz-6PiNsSiBHb4ixfrt6qS0M0UKVP-VdZdgKL3_dIr-spicoRZ0kwKvxYUotg" alt="" width="277px;" height="184px;" /></p>

<ol start="6">
	<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Videos</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">Words and pictures are great, but videos are even better. Most people like to be captivated through movement. A variety of artists preload time lapse videos of their art form. <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/music-industry-custom-usb-promos-with-custom-mold-and-shape/">Music artists and TV </a>stations like to preload music videos, special episodes or bloopers. Commercials are the most common video followed by demonstrational videos/tutorials.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/yPjRAr4wjp6uVQsyUdJXSl02hUC2zOzLe_pGcr9pOgbw6Sna8iz8TwZCP6Nnp2X2ubZXRp2IUE6zKi2R_9bAo36BTifLvPo7RjMiwx3Ih1gHyu9b-fLJ-jB1nw" alt="" width="242px;" height="192px;" /><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/PXMFFwGXxV8e16LodvbzqCR8qMvAR8iEJMNgAwBC1jY1MjALbPZ3tMNoL6gcjRO7qoFWbsAakkicCYb58i_dhNp_EPr3adUxaFV_ucHiaQd7JjHwT_2KkpbNFw" alt="" width="303px;" height="202px;" /></p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr">Planning for weddings, baby showers, bar mitzvahs, quinceaneras or any large gathering is difficult. It’s hard to come up with new and innovative ideas, especially for party favors. Candles, cards, cookies, candy, soap etc. are so unoriginal. Not to mention, the money spent buying those party favors is a waste because they are typically thrown away.</p>
<p dir="ltr">A newer trend is gifting guests with any style <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/">custom USB drive</a> because of it’s functionality. Event planners are starting to order custom drives with a picture or logo printed onto the drives as the perfect party favor.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr">What’s in a name? RUSH, for example- what does that actually mean?

&nbsp;

<p dir="ltr">Make an inquiry</p>

	<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Speak with a sales representative</p>

<p dir="ltr">Our RUSH drives are all produced in-house. Meaning USB Promos can produce the models found under the ‘<a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/rush-drives.html">RUSH products</a>’ tab domestically, in the U.S. Because your order will be labeled RUSH the U.S. production team will expedite your order.

<p dir="ltr">And don’t worry: a faster delivery time does not mean bad quality. We do not  let time become a  factor in quality.

      <title><![CDATA[Eco Friendly: An Innovative USB Drive]]></title>
      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/eco-friendly-an-innovative-usb-drive/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr">A new trend is born every week. Lately, many activists have turned societies eyes to preserving our most precious gift, the environment. USB Promos has developed a few models to offer to those that want USB drives, but want to keep as much of the drive eco friendly as possible.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;" dir="ltr">We offer custom USB drives made from wood or cork. There are a few choices for wooden drives that include bamboo, recycled wood, maple, breechwood, rosewood and walnut. You can learn more about our wooden drives <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/usb-drives/wood.html">here</a>. The most popular of those models is the <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/usb-drives/wood/rectangular-wood-usb-drive-366.html">FD-14011</a>.<img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Y6rqIb-AGxH9IlhMfSZAelV5WyZrqluj1c0elLB3fN04KyqUwYOiOPOpGvO4u52EPCRIvbSzth94KZSn8dPONQn6GZW1kCKjXt15JXUCXaUNu3lUcv2vrQq1" alt="" width="624px;" height="181px;" /></p>
<p dir="ltr">Aside from the wooden drives, we also produce our very popular <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/usb-drives/wood/recycled-wood-usb-drive-289.html">wine cork</a> model. While you can print onto the wine cork the more preferred option is laser engraving.</p>

      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/gobain-fulfilling-high-standards/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr">When you design any product for the military, a few standards come to mind. The product must be:<!--more--></p>

<ul>
	<li><span style="font-size: 16px;">reliable</span></li>
	<li><span style="font-size: 16px;">sturdy</span></li>
	<li><span style="font-size: 16px;">accurate</span></li>
	<li><span style="font-size: 16px;">soundly built</span></li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">Our client, Gobain, does just that. They produce a particular type of glass that holds up to all of those standards for the military. Holding themselves to those standards, they also hold others to the same.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/dv98W9Dy2-oRysor1mt3V6xY1mCHUpIhJ9uzi7lLPIzg7jjl-edy1IzO1Rt8Zfu-vrisX3_WFyyiLVhFtRl1S-lW7sr0ZFcc0kn832ZmJIm7suOXPLaPcutd" alt="" width="331px;" height="425px;" /></p>
<p dir="ltr">Gobain contacted us in the past to produce custom shaped USB drives for them. That order was for mini replicas of rocket launchers.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As Gobain was very happy with our product, they recently reached out and placed another order for these fighter jets.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/Av6Lc-z9FNbtlejyWabCap3KLJhnzb2fUrK3eHdzyM-lub_qEme7J1UPT68Gy2LHwpT-WbOtve89zkZ5jx2_IERzuRFgHEHxvokhFvkU4JiwkRcKMdHiQqA_" alt="" width="296px;" height="426px;" /></p>
<p dir="ltr">In both cases, the USB drives were made out of rubber <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/custom-usb-shapes-logo-mold/custom-rubber-pvc-3d.html">3D PVC</a>. Custom molds were created for each drive and can only be used by Gobain in the future. The drives were used as a marketing tool for the company.</p>

      <title><![CDATA[Kia Soul: Custom Shaped Drive]]></title>
      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/kia/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<span style="font-size: 16px;">Custom shaped drives are increasingly becoming a promotional trend in every industry. Some of the<a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/shop-by-industry/"> top companies</a> from Jergens to Susan G. Komen have recently utilized custom drives to promote their business, product or service. USB Promos is proud to add an automotive company to our repertoire, Kia Motors.</span>
<p dir="ltr">This summer we worked hand in hand with Kia to produce a <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/custom-usb-shapes-logo-mold.html">custom shaped USB drive</a>. The drive was designed to look like a miniature replica of their new vehicle, the Kia Soul.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;" dir="ltr"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/hxnnyvmT2kC-TaXvV3VYeTE_6AcZYoHQPRHjXzr-IJAOnVOfV1tHFlKnn2jBSINepOV1zo4jpLZxFYeskY5SWcHfjSkbeDTC17C2FdOHQJ0HdP2QfCGEz2eQ" alt="" width="249px;" height="406px;" /></p>
<p dir="ltr">Kia used the mini Soul USB drive as a promotional tool. Each drive was built to function as a flash drive with storage space. However, Kia added to the ‘promotional’ factor of the drive by transforming it into a digital press/<a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/tradeshow/">media kit</a>.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Kia provided USB Promos with the data they wanted on the drives. We then <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/data-preloading-custom-usb-promos-usb-drives/">pre-loaded </a>every drive with that data.</p>
<span style="font-size: 16px;">Below are a few images that were included on the drives:</span>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/Tb1mzV4-bvi3MjtYvKxRSJsmcVu1MAiuFubDgSVfPFef4r1Qi9ENtG5sTsyNVQZ9wxcY2zFWkVRWtBKBpOk3vA0xw3tZa-kql1gcLgfvRiTyhYNBZ6q26DI_" alt="" width="624px;" height="296px;" /></p>
<p dir="ltr">Also, they chose to include a few free songs that helped further the Kia Soul experience.</p>

<ul>
	<li>'Michigan Nite' by Eric Kelly and the Crooked Little Reasons</li>
	<li>'Mudslide' by Eric Kelly and the Crooked Little Reasons</li>
	<li>'Shoot You Down' by Doop &amp; the Inside Outlaws</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">USB Promos can pre-load any data onto your drives. For more information on our pre-loading capabilities click <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/data-preloading-custom-usb-promos-usb-drives/">here</a>.</p>

      <title><![CDATA[Paper Web Keys]]></title>
      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/paper-web-keys/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr">USB Promos offers quality, low-cost, paper webkeys. Any traditional USB drive that we offer including custom PVC molds can be made into a webkey. However, the paper web key is not only fully customizable, but also the more cost effective choice.</p>
<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/YVjN47x3o8D53QfqORTOATmszGy8GlXY8H_232eji6ckbj11Qj4M6kjmlzzvN6V0XTH2B8fyi1-E6oibsvdvw1xTFO_Lyfjc4BXbnikUc2nujtgpcGxNoVpm" alt="" width="439px;" height="292px;" />
<p dir="ltr"><a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/usb-webkey-webkeys-web-key.html">Paper web keys</a> are not built to store extensive data like a traditional USB drive. Rather, they have the capability to be <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/data-preloading-custom-usb-promos-usb-drives/">programmed with specific web page URL information</a>. The webkey, once plugged into a computer, automatically directs the customer to the web site that you want them to view.</p>
<p dir="ltr">For instance, pharmaceutical companies can design the web key packaging like a brochure to market a new product. The information might include name of product, pictures and benefits of use. The web key will serve as an extension of the brochure by directing customers to the exact web page that discusses ingredients or case studies. This is an ingenious way to direct traffic to the exact information you want seen.<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/z8UkKJ9UMH8CYKim-TMQXzM_ZDHJOOsxdfC_HDCkEP8KhVOJR5n8MNSGbBKJ4G6XX9JFMBhlAjyiH4Zi3smfTGkV1worQYcy4vZBQ-KUxZEzBCgeW8kRpp9D" alt="" width="360px;" height="347px;" /></p>
<p dir="ltr">Paper webkeys are the most cost effective way to market with a <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/usb-drives.html">USB drive</a>. Printing on paper means it’s cheaper to make and lighter to ship. A web key is also unique because it provides multiple inches of surface area to print on rather than a small logo on a traditional drive. Paper web keys come in a variety of shapes and sizes all allowing you the maximum opportunity to sell yourself.  Not to mention they are compatible with both PC and Mac audiences.</p>
<p dir="ltr">USB Promos believes the best part about the<a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/usb-webkey-webkeys-web-key.html"> web key</a> is the back-end tracking infrastructure that comes with it. Tracking means:</p>

<ul>
	<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Each web key has a unique serial number</p>
</li>
	<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Plugging in the webkey relays the client extensive feedback including: who used it, where it’s being used, when and what they are looking at EVERYTIME</p>
</li>
	<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Salespeople can use this tracking software as a powerful tool to see who is viewing the webkey and call on those people directly</p>
</li>
	<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Webkey tracking helps to end processes like ‘cold-calling’ because only interested clients are called</p>
</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<p dir="ltr">For more information about webkeys, paper or traditional, don’t hesitate to ask. Click <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/usb-webkey-webkeys-web-key.html">here</a> for further reading.</p>

      <title><![CDATA[Promotional Band-Aid  Drive for Pharmaceutical/Medical Industries]]></title>
      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/bandaid/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr">It is more common for people in the medical and pharmaceutical industries to market with basic credit card style USB drives. Nonetheless, there are some that go above and beyond by utilizing a custom rubber <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/custom-usb-shapes-logo-mold/custom-rubber-pvc-2d.html">PVC 2D</a> or <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/custom-usb-shapes-logo-mold/custom-rubber-pvc-3d.html">3D drive</a>.</p>
&nbsp;
<p dir="ltr">Designing a custom USB drive is an exciting process regardless of the type of drive you choose. However, customizing a PVC mold is a bit more fun. What better way to capture your audience's attention then providing them with a miniature replica of your product or service?</p>
&nbsp;
<p dir="ltr">In the medical and pharmaceutical industries USB Promos has custom made a variety of thumb drives. A favorite mold is the ‘band-aid’. It is an age old concept that still has room to be unique. The following are two different band-aids. The first is an image of one of our generic band-aid drives.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/cIJZuo0O0WOh93XPi7ppwl8mhBEEVUYTFIqfzDsolrmR2ji--hTcymnuwSlzqfucCfBBDLsQKRCFgWHSVjvuhE697dtfOYw9_4xqd0Eqq4UdALPyBuAc4Bc2" alt="" width="315px;" height="142px;" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;" dir="ltr">The second and third are of a custom drive Sinai Hospital personalized.  <img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/T_Y8XYioWbNVrwYTdSHN-ibGWI1e31_R9VGjk6e6QxC0ptzAPylRUMPxGbqWTdHQSPz96wTyDmyekgYpNuwEKmQuwKXHPNUR1kKrYMngwKdZuEUx5dId20SJ" alt="" width="281px;" height="116px;" /><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/KQtMctzKr7W9Z7eABL_xV85GNhiOxL00PBwETApIi_qrp7L5ROKv64mSMu5ycnvWTrZesyPBA9obOR61fwWJnqDyC3ZhjRaDArpBMFrajoKf5LJJnZRiPL-L" alt="" width="226px;" height="128px;" /></p>
&nbsp;
<p dir="ltr">As you can see, the shape can be sized, colored and branded differently.Other ideas that have come to life are pill bottles, liquid formula bottles, hearts, pills, bones, teeth, doctors, dentists etc. If you have even the slightest curiosity of what you would like your drive to look like, please let us know. Our talented graphic designer can create a mockup for you within 24-hours. If you like it we will work with you until maximum satisfaction is achieved. If not, we are more than happy to try again.</p>

      <title><![CDATA[Old World Key: Classic Marketing USB Drive]]></title>
      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/old-world-key-classic-marketing-usb-drive/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr">A lesson we learned in grammar school applies to the best marketing. Do you remember: K.I.S.S? It means ‘keep it simple sweetie’. Marketing in the 21st century has grown to be a spectacle of sorts. Businesses use the brightest colors, sounds, lights, effects, spokespeople etc. They spend ample amounts of money to get mediocre results.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In regards to USB drives as a marketing tool, sometimes we need to K.I.S.S. Sometimes all you need to communicate your idea to the masses is a simple and classy drive. That is why we offer metal USB drives. One of our personal favorites is the Old World Key USB drive (<a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/full-stainless-steel-chip-on-board-key-style-drive-1092.html">model FD-1240-E</a>).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/2RoSKRWctRIFREitiWgkxnJFkdp03c_WLvRzlKx8HkUAtcHBOLEVOWgBm6SrRHVq91DyPpglcSkIfGNKbY5T3wruJh_YvNnv9DquSmNfDoNABjijueaKxmG-" alt="" width="448px;" height="321px;" /></p>
<p dir="ltr">It is a classic, clean and durable option. Looks can be deceiving. The key looks like it would not be able to store much memory, however, you can customize your order with up to <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/best-sellers-usb-flash-drive.html">64GB</a> per drive. It is made of <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/custom-usb-shapes-logo-mold/custom-shape-usb-drives-metals.html">stainless steel</a>, but can be coated with a chrome or gold finish. To customize it more you can have your design/logo either <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/branding-printing-decoration-options/">laser etched or silk screened</a> onto the drive. And even though it is a sturdy USB drive, we offer a lifetime warranty and guarantee at least a 10-year data retention on the key drive.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;" dir="ltr"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/ALPcQx1HyRxRHF3aI3RwMPE9fe86USfXmeG2_lGx36AsSyBhzsLnbIshbWoP7MoiuObBo08zjlQqGuP_GG84lkM20c2qvHHV8trJJNW2C3TBfFcYr4ZaPwgb" alt="" width="426px;" height="355px;" /></p>

      <title><![CDATA[Metal USB Drives]]></title>
      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/metal-usb-drives-2/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr">USB drives can be customized to essentially “fit” your industry. For instance, if you're in the children’s toy business, a soft rubber <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/custom-usb-shapes-logo-mold/custom-rubber-pvc-3d.html">PVC USB drive</a> would be more representative of your work rather than a <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/usb-drives/wood.html">wooden drive</a> for the logging “lumberjack” industry.</p>
<p dir="ltr">USB Promos is proud to offer fully <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/usb-drives/metal.html">customizable metal drives</a>. We have helped to design custom USB drives for businesses working with racecars, mechanics, batteries, beverages, construction etc. Regardless of the industry, metal USB drives are a popular choice.</p>
<img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/obYkIJoYZFv-dPShzRp0U23SWabsYSeUv3Rh-TOfAiwTEuqR1DfjlNIr3UYDtLTAshgYWEWPoo0u5XmTaUQ_BAtOummiK7QEed0bpL8i4AOEHt198kNXCsyO" alt="" width="380px;" height="380px;" />
<p dir="ltr">Metal USB flash drives are sturdy and reliable. They are die cast in zinc alloy and can be powder coated, painted a color, nickel plated or chrome plated. We can even create a mock-up for you with any of the finishing options. Let the USB drive sparkle in it’s natural metallic finish or have your logo screen printed on the flat surface. The choice is up to you.</p>

      <title><![CDATA[Jergens: Custom USB drive]]></title>
      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/jergens-custom-usb-drive/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr">Recently, Jergens contacted USB Promos to order custom promotional USB drives. After a consultation with our graphic designer an initial mock up was created. Jergens reviewed the material, suggested a few adjustments and then the final design for the <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/custom-usb-shapes-logo-mold.html">custom mold</a> was drawn up. The mold design is what is sent to production in order to create the USB drive.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The following image is of the final prototype. The document is always sent to the client like this  It should include the business name, basic outline, prototype to be sent to production and pantone <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/branding-printing-decoration-options/">CMYK</a> colors to be used for exact replication.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/tMRtCbQIIOfw2fEGY5tynwsEfgLFohI9Qq6JCqVPUsDImOdt0OBVFC1AeFxckHokjHE9hcZ7WUGxPoNX1Ig5hVHHSsQWxysOAtaNt6f3aY26yxSh6egJPt0T" alt="" width="333px;" height="334px;" /></p>
<p dir="ltr">Once the artwork was approved by Jergens it was sent to production. The final product was made out of custom rubber <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/custom-usb-shapes-logo-mold/custom-rubber-pvc-3d.html">PVC 3D</a>. After three weeks, this is the final product (front) with actual Jergens Natural Glow lotion (back).</p>

      <title><![CDATA[Police Car USB Drive: Fort Myers PD]]></title>
      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/police-car-usb-drive-fort-myers-pd/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr">No matter the<a title="Idea Gallery" href="http://www.usbpromos.com/shop-by-industry/"> industry</a> you find yourself in, USB Promos can customize a drive for you. We have different options for all of your marketing needs. We were very excited when presented with the opportunity to work with the Fort Myers (FL) Police Department.</p>
<img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/YY7EGvrc_WtKQp0AqtED1ObKRR4g71YiJTpiELdLHp03PrNz8i9te3cy_99N9h0M4JRyF42Up3UBTdf2Wirn_Zat1MN53PIvl0wn_xcfHo_yAxGJQiX5JvWv" alt="" width="278px;" height="271px;" />
<p style="text-align: left;" dir="ltr">Fort Myers PD came to USB Promos in need of a custom 2D squad car. They wanted the squad car and attached badge to be replicated from their own. Our highly skilled graphic designer took the time to sketch out a design and then created a 2D prototype within 24-hours. Once it was client approved, we sent the design to production. The final products, squad car and badge, were made out of our flexible rubber PVC. We also offer <a title="metal" href="http://www.usbpromos.com/custom-usb-shapes-logo-mold/custom-shape-usb-drives-metals.html">metal</a>, <a title="plastic" href="http://www.usbpromos.com/custom-usb-shapes-logo-mold/custom-shape-usb-drives-abs-plastic.html">ABS plastic</a>, <a title="pvc" href="http://www.usbpromos.com/custom-usb-shapes-logo-mold/custom-rubber-pvc-3d.html">3D PVC</a> and <a title="wood" href="http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/usb-drives/wood.html">wooden</a> drives that can be customized as well.</p>
<span style="font-size: 16px;">The custom USB drives were utilized at a police conference. Fort Myers PD handed out the drives with <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/data-preloading-custom-usb-promos-usb-drives/">pre-loaded</a> information, including their presentation. The USB served as a great tool for marketing the department and a quick reference. Check out their testimonial:</span>

      <title><![CDATA[The Ordering Process at USB Promos]]></title>
      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/the-ordering-process-at-usb-promos/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr"><a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/">USB Promos</a> offers an efficient and effective ordering process for ordering a custom USB drive. From searching through products on our viewer-friendly website, to receiving the product in a timely manner, USB Promos aims for customer satisfaction.</p>
<p dir="ltr">We believe that the process should be as simple as possible from the start. Therefore, once a client has decided on a product they would like customized they can present the idea to our sales team through  e-mail, our online chat system or by phone. The sales team will help gather the details of the order including what type of material the drive will be made with: <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/custom-usb-shapes-logo-mold/custom-rubber-pvc-2d.html">2D</a> rubber PVC, <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/custom-usb-shapes-logo-mold/custom-rubber-pvc-3d.html">3D</a> rubber PVC, <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/custom-usb-shapes-logo-mold/custom-shape-usb-drives-abs-plastic.html">ABS</a> plastic, <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/custom-usb-shapes-logo-mold/custom-shape-usb-drives-metals.html">meta</a>l, epoxy dome, etc. Together, they will also decide if any <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/packaging-accessories/accessories.html/">accessories</a> are needed for the drive like the more popular ball and chain, keychains and PVC tags.</p>
<img class="aligncenter" style="line-height: 26.666667938232422px;" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/F20I6kHJFhQ9_R0ZDOxDM7cRuaP57gk-iHKpiaYv3mKZJNY2BcFeC_feOorGFS8So4w-6_y5BZeQPoTZ3DrLmFdGEWGGv2LyV8ubUY6lF95YoBr9zdsw8G8G" alt="" width="196px;" height="195px;" />
<p dir="ltr">The order is then given to our graphic design team who furthers the process by designing a digital mock up of the drive. The design team will respond in less than 24-hours with the initial 3D design.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/72nIEe8tQ42pNRtp9emCa0QctmzQOU_R5-VGB_3X1kE5TqZ9UAlF7YntStTMUKLtjxBe3lTt8kotNWqQmEofEneJKldJjgvw1GI9f9FBfdUCJq8_H5J9-iWE" alt="" width="276px;" height="196px;" /></p>
<p dir="ltr">We also have the ability to create a 3D printed prototype which can then be sent to the client by the next business day. After the client has seen and approved the final prototype, the design is sent to production.</p>
<img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/2pbSZe1Nv58mSsPmc6PN_aW4Xx0wZpdrwjb_QO4bCUgPUBjyfZAzBf_VYrCxpV2ZZFozHKaBeq_pwSTZdeE8iVKQewWio-bGjuEbKQz1Wouw5VZHKRc7OyRp" alt="" width="249px;" height="108px;" /><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/yXdRzfwmZVHWhonrOEV7-Rw6D0J-8EZxrzYOtw8KVJuIaJ9aKgMrk3BKQD5cSWOuByMXkIB63pzkZy1OX3O4-0EprRTRsb3hKYmOhcKhc_mMFSVoII7LXdKJ" alt="" width="274px;" height="123px;" />
<p dir="ltr">Production begins with creating a custom mold for the product and then producing the order. There is a minimum requirement of 100 USB drives per order. The products are then <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/order-fulfillment-delivery/">shipped</a> to the client within 3 ½ weeks.</p>

      <title><![CDATA[Developing a Brand Experience]]></title>
      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/developing-a-brand-experience/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr">The most successful businesses have developed a brand, an experience. The more compelling the experience a business can provide, the quicker brand loyalty is built. Companies like Kodak, Downy and McDonalds have mastered everything about their products from the thoughts associated to the packaging. For larger and more mainstream industries it is a bit more easy to accomplish. However, what is a business to do when they are simply in the film, music and television industries? How do you create a total package to represent your brand if your product isn’t necessarily tangible?</p>
<p dir="ltr">An innovative method is to create a custom USB that is representative of your product. Photographers, for example, can utilize a custom mold of a camera. By displaying their business logo on the “viewing” screen, <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/data-preloading-custom-usb-promos-usb-drives/">auto-</a>playing a song and <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/data-preloading-custom-usb-promos-usb-drives/">pre-loading</a> the ordered  images for the customer on it instead of a cd, the photographer essentially creates a brand experience. The word of mouth generated by the received experience is bound to be more positive.</p>

      <title><![CDATA[Why Marketing with USB Drives works: Coca-Cola]]></title>
      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/why-marketing-with-usb-drives-works-coca-cola/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr">In a world cluttered with advertisements, it can be hard to grab the attention of the audience you want. Messages get lost in social media with consumers mindlessly clicking past them.  Newspapers are a dying art. So what is there left to do? We here at <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/">USB Promos</a> think one of the best ways to market yourself in the 21st century is to provide consumers with a tangible memory of you.</p>
<p dir="ltr">To cut through clutter it’s good to remember this mantra: hear it, touch it, see it. This mantra applies to any product. Consumers are more apt to remember/use a product when these three senses are tapped into. By marketing with a <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/custom-usb-shapes-logo-mold/custom-rubber-pvc-3d.html">custom USB drive</a> you can ensure that your product is remembered.</p>


[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="501" caption="Coca-Cola custom USB drive"]<img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/fwLqUz70opoPYyurivOU6RjthgKtCsX2VDYJ1jDqsb55CPqeo5OA5LO5fawQA489HfC27vJpN75ev3eULQL6DQcz2Sy0iwakV13kvbKYS-TFX3cosISxLLKW" alt="" width="501px;" height="376px;" />[/caption]
<p dir="ltr">Let’s use this Coca-Cola USB drive for example. Consumers hear Coca-Cola often. Then they were given a mini USB drive, to use daily, that mimics the shape of a real soda. The consumer therefore sees the product whenever they need to use the USB. It serves as a subliminal message for the consumer to choose that product over competitors when they shop.</p>

      <title><![CDATA[Custom Drive for Oxley Dry Gin ]]></title>
      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/custom-drive-for-oxley-dry-gin/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[We had the pleasure of working with Oxley Gin this year for the 2013 Tales of the Cocktail® held from July 17th through the 21st in New Orleans. Oxley contacted us to help with  <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/advertising-and-public-relations-pr-industry-custom-usb-drives/">marketing</a> and promotion of their new dry gin at the event by way of a custom USB drive. It is one of our most impressive custom drives thus far, with intricate design and detail. The drive is an exact replica of the bottle that houses their gin.

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="293" caption="Oxley dry gin custom USB drive by USB Promos."]<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/3_o3D2bZh8EcPns4zrMMQcPxyLz8FdR_xxfHCvzXJQ3Nsu9nwKTCeB28WMTICoJnktOoX7KLcJbKPdYIGXh8TAN2wShYPB22BtJC5XL8M4GGplpEUXvpVUte" alt="" width="293px;" height="440px;" />[/caption]

&nbsp;
<p dir="ltr">First, we produced a 3D mock up, created by our graphic design team. Once approved by Oxley, we moved forward into production of their drives. The final product is made of our clear PVC and metal.

      <link>https://www.usbpromos.com/blog/usb-drives-2-0-vs-3-0/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr"><a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/2.0-vs.-3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-659" title="2.0 vs. 3.0 USB Drives" src="http://www.usbpromos.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/2.0-vs.-3-300x148.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="148" /></a></p>
<p dir="ltr">Investing into technology can be an intimidating process. It seems salespersons and websites always try push the newest, best and more expensive gadgets your way. Before you know it, you’re leaving the store with less money and a piece of technology that will be out-of-date in six months.</p>
<p dir="ltr">We here at <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/">USB Promos</a> want you to understand, fully, not only what your options are but also the knowledge to decide, for yourself, what you need.</p>
The USB drive world is constantly evolving. The latest rumor is the arrival of the 3.5 USB drive in early 2014 and we’re sure there is a 4.0 sometime after that. The issue then becomes: are any of these upgrades worth your time?

Keep in mind that the true speed of your USB drive is limited to your computer port, most being 2.0. Therefore, unless you plan to buy another hub or port to support the faster 3.0, 3.5 or 4.0 USB’s, you’re paying more for the same product.

The following graph will give you a better understanding between the 2.0 and 3.0 drives. For a visual comparison, check out our <a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/usb-drives.html">2.0 drives</a> and <a title="3.0" href="http://www.usbpromos.com/usb-flash-drives/usb-drives/usb-3-0.html">3.0 drives</a>.

<iframe src="http://www.diffen.com/difference/USB_2.0_vs_USB_3.0?embed" width="555" height="830"></iframe>

If you still have any questions about your options, please don’t hesitate to ask us. Feel free to call our toll free number at 800-515-3990, chat with a live customer representative or browse through our website.

<p dir="ltr">There’s no way to tell how long USB drives will be our go-to medium for saving and transferring files, but the same can be said for social media sites like <a href="https://www.facebook.com/USBpromos">Facebook</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/usbpromos">Twitter</a>. These days, we upload and email everything using the Internet, but we don’t truly possess any of the data.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Well, 5 years from now when you've forgotten your login to Facebook, we’re sure you’ll be relieved to know that you saved pictures from your kid’s first trip to the park, elsewhere.</p>
<p dir="ltr">All you really need is a flash drive, preferably 8GB or larger, and a secure space.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Plug your USB into your laptop and clear it, then start adding new files. Baby’s first trip to the zoo? Wedding-day outtakes? All of those should be saved!</p>
<p dir="ltr">Take it a step further and create folders that clearly identify what’s inside. Your College Years folder can house that horrible essay you wrote in Astronomy 101 or a picture of your dorm that always seemed to look like a tornado just rolled through.</p>
<p dir="ltr">After you’ve loaded your drive, store it in the family safe or another spot that holds important items...(birth certificate file folders, anyone?) And that’s all there is to it!</p>
Need a flash drive for your project? We guarantee data retention for 10 years on our drives, so your memories will be more than safe.]]></description>

USB Promos has Rapid Prototyping service for <a title="Custom USB Shapes" href="http://www.usbpromos.com/custom-usb-shapes-logo-mold.html" target="_blank">custom USB shapes</a>. Imagine that you have a custom shaped USB drive in mind and in as little as 24 hours you have a sample in your hand.

</div>
&nbsp;
<div><a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/RapidPrototype.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-243" title="RapidPrototype" src="http://www.usbpromos.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/RapidPrototype-300x200.jpg" alt="Rapid Prototype Custom USB Shapes" width="300" height="200" /></a></div>
<div></div>
Rapid Prototyping is a technique used to quickly produce a scale model using three-dimensional computer aided design (CAD) data.

The first methods for rapid prototyping became available in the late 1980’s and are used for a wide range of applications today including modeling USB drives. USB Promos is the first USB Company in the U.S. to have this technology.
<div><a href="http://www.usbpromos.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/RapidPrototypingDesign.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-244" title="Rapid Prototyping Design" src="http://www.usbpromos.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/RapidPrototypingDesign-300x164.png" alt="Rapid Prototyping Design USB Drives" width="300" height="164" /></a></div>
<div>

Rapid prototyping is not only fast but can produce very complex shapes. This will save both time and money instead of waiting to get an actual physical sample from our factory, as an entire tool mold has to be produced to create a production sample.  USB Promos includes this service for free.

You are involved in the design process from the start. USB Promos sends you a 3D drawing which allows your team to give feedback and make immediate revisions. Once the design is approved, the prototype is made and sent to you. In advance of production, you know exactly what your custom drive will look like.

Using this technology in the product design allows USB Promos to make changes quickly and preserves the integrity of the model. The plant creates the mold directly from the CAD file and eliminates any of the inconsistencies in the design process.

Ask us about our Rapid Prototyping service today. We can have a sample to you tomorrow.

<p dir="ltr">This year USB Promos has had a lot to be thankful for. From the expansion of our product line to new team members&mdash; we wouldn't be in the place we are without our clients.</p>
<p dir="ltr">While 2014 &nbsp;has one more month to go, USB Promos already has a lot to be thankful for. We were able to expand our creative product lines and offer custom standard and 3D equivalent retractable phone cables, wall plug chargers and power banks. The new 3D rubber PVC products brought more business than ever before and helped our clients to market themselves in new ways.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p dir="ltr">This year USB Promos has had a lot to be thankful for. From the expansion of our product line to new team members&mdash; we wouldn't be in the place we are without our clients.</p>
<p dir="ltr">While 2014 &nbsp;has one more month to go, USB Promos already has a lot to be thankful for. We were able to expand our creative product lines and offer custom standard and 3D equivalent retractable phone cables, wall plug chargers and power banks. The new 3D rubber PVC products brought more business than ever before and helped our clients to market themselves in new ways.</p>
