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.

One company quote me £300 for 50 which I felt was a bit excessive. Will request quotes from some others, since prices don't seem to be displayed on most of their websites. Might just have to bite the bullet will a cost of around £300 (gulp).

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

Yes i know why he wan't them, that is why i said promotional sites what provide USB sticks with his own brand on.

No company will provide a branded named USB stick and place another brand name on it, you think they want to breach copyright laws.

He doesn't want a pre branded USB stick. He wants to find a company who will print his business name on them.

Then the OP should say this then.

Loads of companies out there that will supply UN-Branded sticks and silk print there logo on. £300 seems about right for 50 depending on the style.

Just my opinion but USB give-away's are old news these days, everyone does them. Unless you can get a unique style or idea, the usb sticks will more than likely get thrown into a draw with the rest of the give away's they get.

One option would be to print your business details onto vinyl which you can then stick onto some cheap USB sticks.

Thanks for your valuable feedback. A marketing chap suggested this to me last week: there are some attractive metal USB sticks which you can have engraved that I'm looking at, in a presentation box with a window in which the USB stick is presented in a groove in hard foam.

The idea's to make an impact instead of a cold call. Get something tangible and useful into their hands. Even if the stick is tossed into a drawer, at least it's a 'gift' I've given them so a follow-up email won't be so cold

I'm a bit confused by all the options available and felt £300 seemed quite a lot but if £300 sounds about right to you then I'm thinking this must be the going rate for them.

Hmm never heard of this. Know of any links online which could show how to do this?

It all depends on the styling, basic swivel for about £4, £40-£50 for the silk printing, plus the VAT, then it gets to around the £300.

Instead if a standard looking stick, why not something in the shape a business card, so you could have your business details on the card itself with the video on the usb part. Or a gimmick item like a small figure, so it could sit on there desk.

To do the Vinyl option yourself, would need a Vinyl printer. Unless rdwarr meant print on clear labels which you get from avery

Nice ideas, thank you! Haven't seen any with small figures yet but will keep looking!

UPDATE: just found a site that sells USB 'rubber people' - look fun!
