USB Media News

USB Media works closely with each client throughout their order and production process to ensure their requirements and expectations are met at every level. This includes service requirements including duplication, graphic logos, as well as custom shaped USB Flash Drives. Our clients have requested all types of custom objects such as cars, planes, and remote Flash Drive models, just to name a few. With such orders, our Graphic Artist works to perfect the object, creating an Illustrator mockup of the final product for the client.

Although we request logos and custom shaping upon placing an order,  we do provide graphic services for clients who need them. This includes everything from creating the custom shape to simply reformatting a logo to fit on a flash drive cover. A final mockup is always sent for verification before production begins.

In addition, as we previously mentioned here, Duplication services are always available. We have experience pre-loading all types of files. Our Duplicator Software, Image Copies the Master Drive to ensure that all content is loaded exactly as the Master. By verifying each drive, USB Media ensures all your content is readable and all drives were preloaded properly.

As a recent graduate, I know how important my Flash Drive was throughout college. It was my lifesaver! Literally. All of my presentations, homework, papers, documents, pictures, calendar, everything was backed up onto that drive. Even my professors requested all students load their presentations on a USB to save time.

Help your students succeed by offering them a valuable college necessity.

One of the most useful feature for a flash drive is to create a bootable drive so you can install the operating system quickly. Here is an old article from one of my favorite website Arstechnica. It may have been a couple of years old, but still works!  Click here for the article.

"Live CDs" or "Live USB Keys" are a common practice of any IT pro and admin for testing and troubleshooting purposes. Now Microsoft takes the concept of a live operating system to a whole other level. The upcoming Windows 8, slated for a mid-2012 release, lets you run a managed Windows 8 corporate image off of a USB key, which includes more than just your line of business applications but also corporate data, settings, and group policy. "Windows To Go" is a PC in your pocket.

At the Microsoft BUILD conference in September 2011, Microsoft made it clear that Windows To Go is targeted primarily at organizations and specific enterprise scenarios. Microsoft wants this to be the future way for employees to take their managed Windows 8 systems and load them up on PCs at home.

USB Web Key

• Cost effective
• Can be tracked
• URL can be changed even after the Web Key has been handed out
• All URL changes will be seen when the Web Key is inserted into the USB Port
• Smaller, easier to transport
  

Tracking

Each Web Key has a distinct number associated with it that, when inserted into the USB Port, is recognized by our software program. This information is then recorded and available online for our client to see.

What information specifically is recorded?

Each time a user inserts the web key, the date, time, web key # and # of uses is recorded. A link to this information is provided to the client, so they can login anytime of the day to view the results of their web key purchase.

Why do I care?

It is important for all companies, large and small to track their marketing efforts to evaluate their success. This includes the number of hits your website receives daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly. With our customized program, you can evaluate how effective your Web Key approach is.

What if I don't want it to link to my webpage but another URL or document?

The USB Web Key is a virtual keyboard. Therefore it links to the URL provided by the client, whether that URL leads to a survey, webpage, or brochure is completely up to the client. With that said, any changes made to the URL provided will be seen upon insertion to the USB Port.

What is a Web Key?

A Web Key is a USB Flash Drive that provides a direct link to your website when connected to the USB port.

The web key allows you to direct your clients and customers to a specific page or link within your website.  It holds no memory and requires no software. In addition, the web key takes the place of having generic brochures, books, informational handouts and allows you to capture direct attention, harvest information, and lead onto other products or services.  Enhanced Features are available.

How will this benefit my company?

The Web Key is an internet marketing tool, perfect for driving web traffic and sales to your site. It is great for advertising a new product launch and eliminates the hassle of navigating through the web. This product is ideal for trade show exhibitors because it offers a competitive advantage over the other exhibitors. With the thousands of brochures, catalogs, and business cards floating around a trade show floor, a Web Key is the perfect option to ensure your company information does not get lost in the mix.
