Easy Lock

Travel by train regularly?

.

Transport files between the office and home?

.

Tired of seeing your top secret documents read over by the Nation’s Media?

.

Perhaps you need Easylocktm?

.

 .

USB Company are proud to announce a new piece of software from the creators of Carry It Easy +Plus tm. Equipped with 256bit AES CBC-mode Military Strength Data Encryption under the hood, but a simple Drag and Drop user interface, Easylock is the perfect solution for your data security needs.

.

 .

It’s not just government agencies that need to tighten up data security. In the modern business world, almost any data has value to someone outside your company. Unfortunately, this is usually to the detriment of your own company. On top of this, there’s nothing as damaging for your image as news of a data leak.

.

.

 

A word of warning, however. Easylock only allows passwords up to 128 characters, so those of you planning to use the first chapter of “1984″ to keep your data secured may be disappointed.

.

.

 

Easylock usually retails for approximately £13 per licence. However, we can offer Easylock pre-installed on our custom USB Sticks for less than £2 per unit. For more information, please contact a member of our sales team.

ErasableLocked USB Data

.

Our Promotional USB sticks can be preloaded with your choice of content i.e. Software program, catalogues, power point presentation, flash presentation and pop-up websites.

.

..

..

.

.

1. Standard Preload- We copy your content to your promotional USB drives and users can access it at their will and can also delete the files if they don’t want them.

Pros: Non Intrusive, Higher retention value thus more exposure of your logo.

Cons: Data can easily be deleted by user.

.

.

2. Non-Erasable content

To ensure the effectiveness of your campaign we can protect your preloaded content from being deleted. The computer will recognise the locked data as a CD ROM which the user can not delete or amend in any way. The erasable part of the usb stick will appear as normal and can be used to transfer and store files as a normal usb memory stick.

Pros: Continuous exposure and data retention.

Cons: Users can not delete data to free up space on the Branded USB

.

.

3. Non-Erasable Autorun

As soon as the USB stick is inserted it will launch a presentation. This could be a website pop up or flash presentation or any other file that can be autorun in Windows. This is our most direct option and will suit a new product launch or other events where the user have less knowledge about your product or service.

Pros: Maximum exposure

Cons: Less retention value, Intrusive.

.

.

Recommendation:

Generally we would recommend to preload your USB Stick with the standard preload or the Non Erasable Option. Assuming your target audience already know your brand and have an interest in your product or service.

.

.

Important Notice:

Non Erasable and Auto run Preload will only work seamlessly with Windows based computers(Windows 98 and Newer)

Standard Prelaod will work across all platforms and is recommended if your target audience use other platforms than Windows.

Quicktime WMplayer

.

.

We often preload our clients usb drives with marketing material and one question which often comes up is which format to use for Video preloads.

Therefore we thought it would be good to give our clients some advice on what format to use for the video preload for usb memory sticks.

.

.

There is basically three options:

.

1. Quicktime- This format will play on all platforms (Windows and Mac) However most windows users will have to download quicktime if it is not already installed on the PC.

.

.

2. Windows Media Player- This format will only play on PC, however Mac users are able to download some 3rd party video player called VLC which plays all formats.

.

.

3. Produce two videos one for Windows and one for Mac and put in two folders names “Windows” and one called “Mac”

This would be the best solution as the mac users could just delete the Windows folder to free up space and vice verse for windows users.

.

.

It also depends on your target audience, if your clients are in the media/advertising industry they are more likely to use Macs and Quicktime should be the right choice.

On the other side if your clients are a government organisation they are more likely to be PC users and Windows Media Player would be the right choice.
