When the nice people at Wholesale Custom Flash Drives
contacted me about giving their custom USB drives a test, I immediately
said yes. I love the idea of having something a little bit different to
hand out at conferences and BEA, especially if it's something everyone
can use.
My contact at Wholesale Custom Flash Drives
was Chelsea, who was a dream to work with from start to finish. I knew I
wanted my custom thumb drives to display my Beth Fish Reads avatar (the
woman with a glass), and once I provided a high-resolution copy,
Chelsea got right to work.
Within a day or so I had a mock-up of my logo on a couple of samples. The next step was to pick a style of USB drive. Wholesale Custom Flash Drives
come in all different shapes and materials. There's even a wooden flash
drive that looks like a book! With Chelsea's help, I picked the more
traditionally shaped thumb drive because I thought it showed off my
avatar nicely. You can see the mock-up in the scan just below.
Once
I picked the style, my finished flash drives arrived within 10 days or
so. Not only do the thumb drives look pretty but they work great too.
I've been using one for about a month and have had no issues at all.
One
very nice touch is that the flash drives came individually wrapped, so
they'll stay clean in my tote bag until I hand them out. The wrapping
also assures recipients that they're getting a fresh, new device. As you
can see, I put my logo and blog name on one side and my blog URL on the
other. I wanted a clean, simple look and that's exactly what I got.
Take a look at the Wholesale Custom Flash Drives
website to see all the different styles of USB drives to choose from.
Besides the wooden book, I liked the slap bracelets, the pen/drive
combos, and the flip cards. Another one that caught my eye is the
"butterfly," which is in a classy leather casing. Want your thumb drive
in a one-of-kind shape or color? Just ask, they can make it happen.
I recommend Wholesale Custom Flash Drives without reservation.
Their service is fantastic. They answer emails quickly and were right
on top of the back and forth of the design process. I love that they
didn't flinch when I had a couple last-minute tweaks to
the final design, and I very much appreciated the help and advice I got
from Chelsea. The finished product arrived at my door very quickly, and
the drives were everything I had hoped them to be. I plan on keeping a
stock of custom flash drives for slipping into book mail, sharing with
my book club, and handing out at conferences.
I can't
wait to give my Beth Fish Reads thumb drives to my colleagues at BEA
this year. Custom flash drives are great way to make sure my contacts
remember me. Thanks so much to Chelsea and everyone at Wholesale Flash
Drives for a super product and top-notch customer service.
that is soo neat!!! I never thought of having that to hand out to people. I will have to order some.

ReplyDeleteThat's pretty cool. I few years back I had an Etsy artist create Peaceful Reader cards. It's super cool to have something personalized like that.
