On June 29th and 30th 2011, we exhibited at the “Marketing Week Live Show”, Olympia, London. Our stand attracted hundreds of visitors, all of which loved our range of brand flash drives, especially our custom made usb sticks. We even got to meet quite a few existing clients, in fact the stand directly opposite us were coincidentally handing out their own branded flash drives, supplied by us!

So, what did we learn from the show?

• Branded Flash Drives most certainly still excite people and are very much perceived as a fresh, innovative promotional gift / idea.

• People still aren’t aware how affordable custom made USB Flash Drive are. Yes – we can produce your own shape USB Sticks for under £200. Better still, the minimum order quantity is only 100 units.

• There’s still a large demand for environmentally friendly products, which is great because all our USB sticks fall into this category, plus we’re a Carbon Zero Company!!

• Quite a few people don’t realise that we can also upload data to our Flash Drives (first 100MB for free, per drive). This is a great opportunity, especially to publishers, PR companies or anyone with digital material that they’d like to pass on (such as product catalogues, videos and web links).

• Memory sizes under 1GB capacity were hardly discussed, visitors just didn’t seem that interested in Megabytes, they generally want to talk Gigabytes!

• Not only did our stand attract visitors, we had the show’s exhibitors flocking to our stand.

• You can’t escape us – our customers are everywhere, as mentioned earlier, we were exhibiting opposite a customer, handing out their own Branded Flash Drives (supplied by us). The USB Flash Drives were hugely popular with their visitors, as were the glasses of champagne they were also handing out (what a great stand!!).

We would once again like to thank everyone that visited our stand and sorry to anyone that didn’t get the chance to speak with us when we were at our ridiculously busy periods.
