• Targeted. These products are tangible, and they get right into the hands of consumers. Essentially, they cut through all the noise that other less effective marketing tools make.
• Impactful. Promo products like USBs have a huge impact on consumers. A study showed that after two years of receiving an item, more than three-quarters of consumers could recall the item, the advertiser and the message. Now, that number makes a statement, doesn’t it?
• Customizable. Create a customized USB to reflect your specific business. For instance, HBO recently partnered with CustomUSB to manufacture Game of Thrones USBs^[ii].

• Cost effective. Put a USB in front of consumers one time, and the item makes an impact for a long time. Compare that type of exposure rate to a TV Ad or Radio Ad against a Calendar – which may not be memorable at all, or it might get tossed in the garbage.
