One of the challenges of running a photography business in an increasingly digital world is making my clients feel like they’ve gotten what they paid for. While I’m still a HUGE proponent of prints and albums, many of my clients — especially in my commercial work — are opting for the simplicity of digital files.
Of course showing up to an event or wedding and delivering exceptional images is the core of my business, but at the end of the day, delivering final files via a download link in a one-off email just feels … sad. There is something to being able to supply a tangible deliverable product at the end of the day.
Cue USB Memory Direct, who approached me with an offer for a few drives in order to take them for a spin. I chose their Tab Custom Flash Drives — my custom wood boxes for wedding deliveries come with included drives, so I wanted something a little different for my portrait and commercial clients.
Their design team took my logo and made some suggestions about color and placement, and had a proof ready for me incredibly quickly. They were great about taking my preferences in to account and offering feedback where they felt it was necessary.
When they arrived, the drives themselves were a lot more petite than I was expecting, which I actually really love about them. They’re super sleek, no fuss, and they slip on to a keychain or lanyard without being bulky or including switches or caps. The metal drive is extra resilient to the normal day-to-day wear and tear of a keychain.
USB Memory Direct specializes in custom-printed and custom shape USB flash drives, and serve all kinds of photographers and other creatives. With a wide variety of drive styles to choose from, there are tons of drives to choose from in order to perfectly represent any brand — from wedding to commercial. I also just found out that they offer a lifetime guarantee on any and all drives purchased from them!
