Online Marketing Articles

Have you ever needed to be able to carry around all of your important computer folders with you so that when you sit at a machine you can just start work straight off? Have you ever sat down at someone’s computer and realised they don’t have the vital piece of software you were hoping to use to finish off an important task?

What about your customers? Do you think they also have ever been in one of the above categories? If so, then it is high time that you invested in some custom flash drives. The specification of these flash drives is increasing quickly every day and they are becoming faster and able to store more files. At the same time, they are dropping in price almost as fast, becoming very affordable. Yesterday I saw a 4mb USBdrive for next to nothing in the local supermarket. They are everywhere and as such popular. But this means they are an excellent marketing gift, with more avenues to explore than you might think are possible.

Take the example of sitting down at a machine and wanting to update a favourite spreadsheet only to find the spreadsheet software is not installed on that computer. You can’t really download and install Excel on your friend’s machine you are borrowing, they might not appreciate it and someone has to pay. But if you often use tools such as this, then it is possible to put onto your USBdrive a selection of office tools of your own choice. Better still, because they can run directly from the USBdrive, there’s no need to install the software to the computer you are using.

This means that any computer you can lay your hands on becomes suitable for you to work on. Pick a machine and it’s got your required software. Better still, store your files on a flashdrive and every machine can immediately have access to the data you want.

If you are worried about safety, then secure USB flashdrives can be arranged. Or USB flashdrives with a selection of prepacked software can be sourced. And if your customers are also likely to be in this situation, then there’s an excellent way to promote your company. Buy a batch of promotional flash drives and get them preloaded with software of your choice. On the side you have your own logo printed and there you have a very good tool.

Go around giving these out to your valued customers and they will start to carry their applications and folders around with them. Every time they use the USBdrive there’s a good chance of them, and the people around them, seeing your logo. What better promotion than that could you want?
