Why not surprise your staff or key clients this year with a credit-card sized USB Stick?

.

Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat, and after a long year searching for a credit card USB Stick that doesn’t have a permanently sticking out connector (risk of snapping) or a rotating connector (breaks up your picture), USB Company are proud to announce our new product, the USB Stealth Card.

.

Featuring full colour printing, a retracting USB connector on the underside (so no risk of snapping or distortion to your branding) and a smooth plastic finish, the Stealth Card slots perfectly into your wallet.

.

This is the perfect time of year to send a Stealth Card. With Christmas around the corner, people are receiving the other type of card every day. Pretty soon their shelves will be full of them. Sending a Stealth card can really catch people’s eyes and get them talking about them. Not only that, but with its slim line design, it will even fit nicely inside an envelope with a more traditional card.

.

Already planned your Christmas promotional spending? That’s okay, as credit card based USB Sticks are still relatively new to the market. Chances are if you send out a Stealth Card in the New Year, it’ll still be the first USB Stick in their wallet, putting your brand alongside the things they hold dear, such as their money and pictures of their family!

.

What will your card say about you?

With Christmas just around the corner, we’re all looking for those perfect gifts. Here at USB Company, we feel we may just have the answer.

.

A stunning blend of tradition and gadgetry, the USB Incenti-Pen combines the usefulness of a ballpoint pen, something everyone keeps a few of on their desk, with a high speed USB 2.0 memory stick. Send one or the other and you may win a bit of valuable desk space, and put a small smile on the recipient’s face, but combine the two and you’ve just given them a conversation piece; something that they will show their friends, family and colleagues.

.

One idea we like is to go for the Red Incenti-Pen, with either a Snowman or Christmas Tree printed on it, along with “Merry Christmas from”, followed either by your company name, or better yet, your logo. Alternatively, perhaps brand your company logo on one side of the pen, while having a festive theme on the other?

.

With 1GB or more of memory, the Incenti-Pen also makes an excellent gift for your own staff. You might even be generous enough to skip the company logo all together, and just send them a nice festive Christmas pen / USB stick. Then again, if they are getting incenti-pens for Christmas, they should be proud enough to work for you to want the logo!

 

Have a look at your desk. There are three things I can guarantee you have there.

1) A mouse mat.

2) A mouse.

3) A pen.

While we don’t do mouse mats here at USB Company, we do both USB mice and USB Pens.

.

Think about it. Who doesn’t have a mouse or a pen on their desk? And yet so many people will have a few cheap BIC pens, or perhaps even a cheap pen with a logo on it. If they have a premium looking “business” pen though, it’s almost certainly made by one of the big makes. What a waste of premium advertising space! Not to mention the fact that if they have a USB Stick in their pen, they are sure to use it. That means your catalogue will always be quite literally at their fingertips!

.

And as for the mouse, how many of you have anything but “Dell”, “Logitec” or “Microsoft” plastered across your mouse. How many of your customers have the same problem? A lot of them will spend upwards of 90% of their day at their desk, with the mouse sitting in their peripheral vision. That’s a great place for your logo to be sitting, constantly reminding them to buy your products.

.

 

So, why not put your logo onto some of the best advertising real estate in existence, your customer’s desks?

ECO USBs, Saving our Planet one Tree at a time.

Did you know that major retailers (such as Ikea or Argos) regularly use over one hundred thousand tons of paper every year on marketing tools, such as catalogues and promotional flyers? Or that around 4.5 billion trees are cut down every single year, just for the production of paper? Or that the paper industry is the 3rd largest emitter of greenhouse gasses in the world? .

At the same time, around 40% of our waste burdon tends to be paper. 40% of what we throw away. What does that suggest happens to all these flyers, catalogues and other materials? . Why not try offering customers a catalogue on a USB stick? Or your students their course materials on usb rather than in thick folders that will end up at the top/bottom (delete as appropriate) of their wardrobe? Why not file internal reports on USBs rather than in giant stacks of paper that’ll end up in the shredder tomorrow, and the bin the day after? .

And why not go one step further, and look into buying some of our eco-usbs for the job? Made from bamboo, probably THE most renewable sources of wood on the planet, they are both renewable and environmentally friendly in production, and save the planet one tree at a time by keeping all your documents in an electronic form. . What do you have to lose? Other than Earth, of course. .

WHa.

What is it?

.

The USB Web Button is a round button, 6CM in diameter. When
connected to a USB Port and pressed, it launches a pre-defined website. It can
also be used to launch a specific application, as long as it is installed on
all computers.

 .

How can you use it?

.

The Webpage:

.

One possibility is to have it link to your homepage.

Better yet, why not have it link to an exclusive promotion
only available to those with the web buttons?

Better still, why not have that link show new, updated
offers once a month, encouraging people to bookmark the link or keep the button
lying around?

.

The Program:

.

.

Does everyone log in from a workstation fed from a single
server? Or are all PCs in your office/school made equally? Have a program that
everyone has to open regularly, such as a data input program or office suite? Instead
of running www.yourpage.com the button
can also run yourprogram.exe.

.

The Portal:

.

Have a staff/student portal?
A customer relations management tool? Maybe even a central login page?
Why not have the button open it for you?

.

Viral:

.

So you’ve employed the best minds in the business, came up
with a brilliant idea, shot the video, uploaded it to YouTube, and nothing.
No-one’s noticed it. It hasn’t spread. It isn’t making your product the talk of
town. Why not scatter USB Buttons around the town, linking to the YouTube
video, the front page of the publicity-gaining viral game or whatever it is
your top marketing agents have come up with?

Durex USB

We sometimes get weird requests here at USB Company. This time we were asked to create a USB in the shape of a sperm with the Durex branding. Our designers came up with a Durex keyring powered by the latest 1GB chipset from flash producer Hynix. Unfortunately the client put the project on hold this time but you never know the Durex usb might be available sooner or later :)
