The tsunami disaster in Japan will have an effect on the cost of USB memory sticks. Approximately 85% of memory chip production is in Japan. Most North American suppliers of USB sticks to the promotional market post prices weekly. As with any commodity faced with short supply, prices are expected to rise dramatically over the next few weeks.

Great for summer camps, company picnics, food festivals, fishing derbys and more! (also great for hot dogs!) Fun for kids and adults.

According to an Advertising Specialty Institute survey, the promotional product category that rates the highest with regard to number of impressions per month is...bags. The survey was calculated based on the number of times promotional items were worn or used per month, and the average number of people that came in contact with the user. The trend towards re-usable grocery totes has most likely contributed to this category coming out on top.

For a premium tote that is functional, durable, and eye catching, we like this cool looking neoprene market tote from Built NY.
