Your employees and clients might expect a company gift at the end of the year, but they don’t expect it to be particularly functional. The pen with the logo on it to add to your collection? The plastic mug that sits on the top shelf of your kitchen cabinet? A box of chocolates you probably shouldn’t eat? You can do better than that.

Show how you truly value your constituents by giving them a corporate gift they’ll actually use. USB drives are small, ultra-portable devices that let you transfer files from your computer in a flash. Every time they see the logo printed on the side of their USB drive, your staff will be reminded of your appreciation for their work when they see the logo printed on the USB drive.

This year, make your clients’ and employees lives a little bit better by giving them a USB drive. Think about how much easier it is to just drag and drop your files onto the USB drive than burn them on a large CD. USB drives click right in to your computer and automatically load up with no sweat. This simple and proactive tool will save time, as well as reward your company in future marketing and promotional endeavors.
