by 19 Comments

Once you get to where you’re going, the fun can start. However, getting there can often be grueling, boring, uncomfortable, and long.

Call it swag or marketing collateral: Some companies “have it” and others just don’t. If you’re looking to offer giveaways (or you’re going to have a surplus left over following an event), make sure you have stuff that tech geeks really want.

In other words, steer clear of the cheesy baseball hats and balloons. If you’re spending money on swag, it should be useful (so your company name is actually seen on a regular basis).

One of the best, and low-cost, items is a customized metal USB that features your logo. It’s something every person constantly needs.

Plus, if your people like the look, they’ll take better care not to lose it. USBs are ideal for storing documents, even in an era of cloud storage.
