Gift Branded USBs This Festive Season

 

In today’s corporate environment, there is a piece of equipment which every modern business person finds extremely useful and handy. Modern mobile technology and communication systems necessitate that everyone needs this aid. Its latest versions are also perfect for corporate branding.

 

What are we talking about? The subject and object is USBs. Most technology fundis wouldn’t give USBs a second thought, unless they’ve lost or mislaid theirs. Even so, some non-techie persons may be uncertain about these mechanisms, although they’ve probably heard of USBs and have been using this technology, without exactly knowing to what the term refers.

 

Bare Basics of USBs for Technology Novices

 

"USB” is the internationally adopted abbreviation for "Universal Serial Bus”. It’s an industry standard concerned with the cables, connectors and communications protocols used in the device for connection, communication and power supply between computers and other electronic devices.

 

The devices include digital cameras, smartphones, portable media and music players, keyboards, printers, external hard or disk drives, and other computer compatible equipment, which one may want or need to connect to one’s computer for the purposes of communicating the device’s contents to said computer, as well as supplying electrical power.  

 

In USB terms, each cable has two connectors or plugs of which there are currently three types. The computer and device each has a receptacle into which the appropriate plug is inserted, allowing the apparatus to communicate. As USBs have evolved and advanced, systems have become faster.

 

Ideal USBs for Branding

 

Just a note for the technology challenged folks – USB flash drives are most often used as mobile storage aids, since they use minimal power and thus generally allow the laptops into which they plug to retain their battery power for longer.

 

Although compact and relatively small, USB flash drives are ideal for corporate branding purposes, and they make great, highly appreciated and often used corporate gifts, whether intended for loyal, supportive customers and staff members, or as give-aways at product launches or industry expos.

 

As with most modern technology, USB flash drives have also become much more affordable, yet remain indispensable to users who are accustomed to having this convenience on hand, wherever they may be with an equally mobile laptop, possibly operating via wireless technology.
