Why flash drives are so clever, and not just for data.

If a tool is something that your customers might otherwise be purchasing for themselves, then it’s going to be a useful promotional tool as when you give them a free one, they are going to keep them and use them often. Your recipients will be able to carry around with them all of their important data, by simply attaching their logo flash drive that you have given them to their key ring and carrying it around in their bag or pocket.
If you are arranging a conference, a user group meeting or other get together and want to ensure that the attendees take away all of your important points, then write your slides to a usb drive and give every attendee a usb drive in their conference pack. They will then take away their usb drive and be able to review the contents of the slides. If you have guest speakers attending, then they can be charged a suitable fee for adding their notes to the usb drive. Other promotional materials can also be added and the usb drive can even be made to autorun. This means that the contents of the usb drive will be shown automatically on the computer screen, without the user having to open file
