Branded USB sticks

Hi Guys

Can anyone please recommend any companies that offer good deals on branded USB memory sticks?

So far I've tried two that I found in Google, but I've had to 'request a quote' and each time the amount quoted is about £5-£6 per memory stick, which is very expensive for me.

Ideally there'd be a company which allows you to instantly see how much each type of memory stick costs online and allows you to alter quantities online.

Any suggestions or thoughts whatsoever would be truly appreciated.

Warm regards

    What capacity and what sort of performance do you want?
    I find Amazon offer some pretty good prices for reasonable sticks. Not the cheapest you'll find but fast and reliable service in my experience and you've got Amazon behind it if there's an issue.

    For cheap (but still reliable) storage I like the Kingston DataTraveler G2 and have 6 of them between 4 and 32 GB.

    I also have a Corsair 32GB Flash Survivor GTR for travelling (it is crush proof, water proof, drop proof and fast).

    To be honest though I would trust any Branded memory stick fro the big manufacturers - but would never trust any of them as the sole location of data!

    Um 2GB and FAT32 for max compatibility just to feature some videoclips to try and promote myself. I'm thinking, maybe I could buy a lot of unbranded memory sticks from Amazon or somewhere then pay a printers to brand them?

    Sound good. Yeah defo I agree. More backup the better. I need memory sticks just to promote making videos for weddings and things like that just to preview my work.

    Why not use DVD's? surely more than enough space for a promo & a fraction of the price

    Not sure of the name of the device but theres a device that looks just like a USB memory stick, but the data is hard written to them. You cannot format, delete or write extra data on them. They were giving them away at the Commercial Motor Show, contained promotional videos of trucks etc

    Unsure if you need to send your video (avi etc) to the supplier and they load them or if the devices are write once read many and you can do it yourself

    Devices had logo on them and a neck cord with advertising

    The idea behind branded memory sticks is 'brand awareness' so, even if a person doesn't avail of your service, they will most likely continue to use your memory stick, and with your company's logo being on it, it becomes 'ingrained' into their minds :) ...in the hope that they'll mention you to another person they know. Word of mouth sort of thing. Also, the final video I hand over will be on a memory stick so it kind of ties in a little better.

    DVDs certainly tempting thought considering the price of printed memory sticks!

    Then there is no point buying a Branded USB stick if you are looking to have your own Brand placed on them.

    Need to need a company that sell's promotional items, where you buy a set quantity and they print your logo on it. Just do a search for promotional usb and it bring's up a load of sites that will be more suitable for your needs.

    The poster is looking for a company who PROVIDE branded memory sticks, he doesn't want to buy them for his own use.
