USB flash drives - also often referred to as thumb drives
or jump drives - act as reusable portable hard drives.
These small units - about the size of a pack of gum - can
easily be carried in a pocket, worn around the neck like
a necklace or used as a key chain by your clients and
prospects. There are even USB flash pens - with the flash
drive "hidden" inside the writing utensil.
USB flash drives plug directly into your Universal Serial
Bus (USB) port of a computer and are typically built to
hold between 64 megabytes and 2 gigabytes of data. The
popularity of flash drives have grown significantly over
the past several years as storage capacities have increased
and USB-enabled computers have become ubiquitous. The

advent of flash drive marketing.
The use of USB flash drives as effective marketing tools is
continuing to evolve for forward thinking marketing
professionals.

that also holds a pre-loaded message or presentation offers
companies the benefit of delivering a branded product AND
