5+ Reasons Colleges Should Hand Out Flash Drives at Orientation!

By Catherine on January 10, 2012 12:11 PM | No Comments | No TrackBacks

1. Flash Drives are less expensive than paper and ink

2. Each USB can be customized with your school's colors and logo

3. You can preload all important information including catalogs, maps, organization information, event information, calendars, discount coupons etc.

4. Students will appreciate all this information compacted into a small device instead of a bag of papers and folders.

5. Great for the environment!

6. Blank (non preloaded) drives are available to order for campus stores

7. Flash drives are much cheaper to print and ship than bulky catalogs. Our university customers tell us that they save on average 50% after factoring the cost of printing and shipping.

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.

USB Web Key v. USB Flash Drive

By Catherine on January 4, 2012 10:05 AM | No Comments | No TrackBacks

Can't decide which product would better meet your needs? Here are some benefits a Web Key has over a USB Flash Drive

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

Overall, the Web Key costs less than a USB Flash Drive, can track the number of times used, and works as a virtual keyboard. The URL provided can link to a webpage, survey, brochure, anything you desire. In addition, whatever changes made will be seen by the user when they insert the USB Web Key. With that, the USB Web Key is much smaller and thinner than a typical USB Flash Drive, so it can be mailed in a standard envelope.

USB Web Key: A Service & A Product

Now that you have some basic knowledge about what a web key is and does, we would like to inform you of the service benefits this product offers. This entry will help you better understand all of the benefits and details of how this product could be a great tool for you and your company.

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.

Backing Up Your Documents!

By Catherine on October 21, 2011 11:38 AM | No Comments | No TrackBacks

It has happened to most of us, and today it happened to me. My server completely crashed! With all my information on it, all my folders! Thankfully, I back up all important work documents, pictures, videos, and music. Although I was thoroughly annoyed with my computer this morning, I am super thankful for my 16G USB Flash Drive! I don't know how I ever lived without it...

Word of advice, ALWAYS back up your files! I recommend choosing 2 types of backup. I personally use my Flash Drive as well as iWork.com which publishes your information to a modern browser. I utilize my flash drive as well as iWork because if I (for whatever reason) do not have access to the internet, I can still access my important information.
