Flash Drive market prices jump by as much as 212% in the past 14 days.
FlashDriveDirect attempts to hold back the huge price increases by striking
long-term deals with manufacturers.

In moves reminiscent of the turbulence of the latest Dow Jones insecurity, Flash
Drive prices have increased by as much as 212% over the past 2 weeks. Chinese
manufacturers claims price increase due to high demand as Flash Drive technology
moves into the PC and I-Pod fields. Meanwhile major promotional products distributor
Flash Drive Direct works to reduce prices by striking long term deals with Chinese
factory's.
"I feel that the tremendous price increase may be artificial to a degree, however
with only 4 major flash drive manufacturing plants in China and with the increase in
flash drive usage with computers, TV's, camera and many other memory driven
electronics it is understandable that the price will go up. What Flash Drive Direct
has done to protect the promotional products customer is strike a long term pricing
deal with the factory, essentially buying production time into the future" states
promotional products guru John Graham.
Despite Flash Drive price spikes FlashDriveDirect launches major expansion to US
operation.

Even in the face of huge price increases Flash Drive Direct has decided to further
expand its US operations. "A driver for this business expansion is the high demand
for environmentally friendly products" states the U.S's largest promotional products
reseller Corporate Express. Eco-friendly is most often seen as picking up trash and
recycling. What is often not thought about is the use of energy and how that
adversely affects the environment. The energy required to burn information onto a CD
is up to 100 times the amount used to load the same information onto a Flash Drive.
Multiply this use of energy (energy produced by burning coal, natural gas or hydro
electricity) by the 1 billion CDs burned each year it becomes easy to see why Flash
Drives are an environmental winner and why this company has chosen to expand its
business.
