As technological advancements have occurred, design options in USB flash drives have also improved. Companies normally order them custom-made for marketing reasons, and now they are available in numerous shapes, sizes, colors and 3 different materials – plastic, metal or rubber.
However, design is only one of the important factors we recommend companies consider before buying USB flash drives. They should also consider several other details as well.
Whether you will use them for marketing, data storage, data sharing or any other reasons, knowing the answers to the following questions will help you get USB flash drives that will satisfy your wants and needs.
What level of security would you like? The data should be easily accessible for you yet safe and secure from others. Additional security can be added to make USB flash drives even more secure if desired.
How durable do you want them to be? For example, do you want them to be waterproof? Depending on how often they will be used and in what environments, the type of material used to make them should be carefully considered. Regular options are metal, plastic or rubber.
What level of quality do you want? Quality is important because if a unit can’t perform as intended, then it will be of no use. Quality will also strongly affect how long a USB flash drive will last. An important choice is whether you want your USB flash drives to be made out of only brand new, Grade A components or if you will be OK with recycled, less expensive components. Also, by choosing higher quality, the USB port connections will last longer, the caps will close tightly and fit more snug, and the colors and other design elements will not easily flake off.
How much storage capacity would you like? If you will only be storing documents and low resolution images, single digit gigabytes should suffice. If you will be storing large amounts of data with videos, music, and/or high resolution images, then double digit gigabytes will probably be necessary.
How fast would you like your USB flash drives to perform? Attention spans now seem to be shorter than ever and patience isn’t necessary nearly as often as it was in times past. USB flash drives that transfer files at higher rates save a lot of time, and users definitely avoid frustration because it.
What price range are you able to afford? Price is mostly affected by the size of memory and the quality of components used to make USB flash drives. However, there are times when customers want eccentric designs, which can substantially increase the price.
Would you like any special features? Will your USB flash drives be keychains, which will require key rings to be attached, or would you like them to also be bottle openers, flash lights, or have any other useful attachments?

Having owned an advertising magazine in Utah, I’ve worked in marketing for over twenty years.
I started writing for MediaFast in 2014. The first time I held one of their video brochures, I thought something like, “Wow! This blows away our magazine and any other print advertising I’ve ever seen. This is like a TV commercial, and I’m holding it in my hands. Amazing!”
Since then, video brochures, video mailers and video boxes have become leaders in marketing performance. It’s a privilege to write about them. I also love MediaFast—with its top-notch product quality, industry leading customer service, and all of the wonderful people I get to work with.
