Have you ever ordered a bulk amount of promotional items such as t-shirts, pens, or hats? If so, then you probably have been disappointed in the quality, appearance, and functionality of the product at least once or twice. When ordering a promotional product, it can be difficult to find a business that will sell you a quality item. Many promotional businesses offer several different items, without specializing in one high demand and high quality item.
Time after time, as you hand out 300 hats (with the company logo so distorted that it is nearly unrecognizable), you watch current or prospective customers and employees give the promotional item a look over and cringe in disappointment at the lack of quality in the piece. This isn’t exactly a great first impression.
It may be time to consider looking at a trendy, technology-savvy promotional piece that will never disappoint your employees or customers again. Customizable, bulk flash drives can be a high quality promotional piece that a customer will actually use and appreciate. However, you should also be aware that not all flash drives are created equal. If you are going to call up a business that also sells other customizable products, you will not get the crowd pleasing product that a company solely dealing with customizable, bulk flash drives could provide you.
When considering flash drives, the materials used are always an important factor. Some companies may offer you a lower price, but may also be selling you a product with a recycled NAND flash memory chip. Using a recycled memory chip can mean lower quality, which in turn, increases your chance for flash drive failure and also shortens the lifespan of the product. CFgear uses only NEW, premium NAND flash memory chips in each one of their flash drives. If you give your customers a promotional product that will fail on them, they will probably assume that your company has the same cheap, low-quality standards.
When looking at flash drives, it is also important to note the type of housing for the drive. Metal housing is heavy (high grade anodized aluminum), hardened, and anti-scratch. Because every piece of information stored on the flash drive is of high importance, having proper housing is critical.
While the actual functionality of the flash drive should be a deciding factor in your bulk flash drive purchase, options and accessories should also be considered. CFgear can create flash drives in thousands of different colors, and even use color-matching technology to fit your company’s needs. Your company’s logo and name can even be printed or laser engraved onto the flash drive. This serves as a constant reminder to your customers of where the flash drive came from.
Some companies have thousands of old flash drives laying around that they will pull out to use for your order. However, at CFgear each order is customized fresh out of the factory. These same companies may also use plastic housing that they attempt to pass off as metal. Look at the key chain connector. If it is made out of plastic, than most likely the whole drive is cheaply made. However, CFgear will provide pictures and proof of the quality of their flash drives. They will also get your final approval on the order.
Because you will be handing out this promotional product to hundreds or thousands of people, ensure that your prospective customers or clients feel that you are professional and appreciate a high quality product. Don’t ever disappoint with a t-shirt that fades after the first wash. Take pride in handing out CFgear customizable, bulk flash drives.
