When it comes to choosing promotional items for your business, you need to focus on items that you know your customers will use and enjoy on a daily basis, ensuring that your company name is in the back of their mind at all times, so when they need products or services you provide, you are the first call that they make.
This means that you need to look closely at your customer base to identify what your target market is. Are your customers all business people who use their computers all day long? Are they a younger generation that rely on mobile devices or are they an older generation that don't use technology much and rely on old fashioned methods of communication?
The first step to buying any promotional USB drives is to identify the reputation of the companies you are considering buying from. Ideally you will have spoken to other companies to see who they use for their promotional products or you would have done some research online and found a number of companies that can provide you with this service. You should have a minimum of three potential suppliers, this will enable you to review each company, learn as much about them as possible and then compare them against each other until you have the one supplier you can use now and in the future.
Next you will want to ensure that any suppliers you are looking at for promotional USB drives can provide you with a high quality product. Quality is essential when it comes to your promotional items of any kind, the last thing you want is the item falling apart or breaking after only one use, this is not going to portray your company in a positive and professional light.
Focus on the size of the USB drives on offer. Remember that originally these drives came in small sizes, but with people sharing photographs and videos these days, you need a promotional USB drive that is going to provide them with convenience and use on a daily basis. You should look at a minimum of a few gigs, ideally thirty two gigs, giving them plenty of storage space to take advantage of.
Look at the design of the promotional USB drives. These drives come in a range of shapes, styles and designs, so you can have a selection to choose from. Ideally the suppliers you are looking at will be able to send you some samples, this will enable you to feel, identify colour and check the item works before making any final decisions. You will want to choose a promotional USB drive that showcases your company name and logo and that is small and convenient to be taken anywhere at any time.
Look at the services provided by the supplier. Do they offer more than promotional USB drives? Will you be able to use their services in the future, maybe for promotional umbrellas for the summer period or promotional clothing for your team members? Finding a promotional supplier that can provide you with a range of products and services can save you time in the future, as you will have the company name on hand and they will already have your artwork, reducing turnaround times considerably.
Don't let price be your only deciding factor. Rather focus on the quality of the promotional USB drive, the service you receive and the turnaround time, delivery, warranty and returns policy offered by the supplier. This is something you can compare the suppliers on to find the ones that will give you the best buying experience at a price you can afford.
