Launch your next branding campaign for new employees or prospective customers via pre-loaded flash drives.

Not sure where to start? Have an unique idea and just need a company to provide a solution-driven option to bring it to life?

When looking for a tech solution, settling for average customer service can spell disaster. It’s no news flash that several eons ago, ie. 2005, many major tech companies took unprecedented hits because of poorly managed customer service.

However, other companies saw this as an opportunity to deliver quality products coupled with sensational sales and customer service programs. One such company is the US based CFGear, with their hardcore TripleDistilled™ service. They offer the customer service options one should expect from a Midwestern operation. Run from Sioux Falls, SD, the company offers a wide range of customizable flash drives, branding options, and non-erasable marketing content pre-loaded onto flash drives.

Flash drives, sometimes called jump drives, thumb drives, USB drives, or compact flash memory, provide ample room for storage and the ability to customize the outside with a company’s brand or logo.

Getting your brand repeatedly into people’s hands should be the goal that drives your promotions budget. A flash drive does the trick.

A peripheral storage solution, flash drives provide memory capabilities for document files, audio files, presentations, photos and other techy goodies. Memory storage can be chosen from 32MB to 32GB with nine different options in between.

That’s the hardware of it. Customized flash drives can be purchased in bulk with pre-loaded information hand-selected by your corporation. Less monkeying around for you means a streamlined process that saves you money.

Whether it is advertising or employee manuals, flash drives encourage loyalty to your organization’s brand.

Feeling secure about your brand and image in the first place might be where you need to start.

Are you a new company without a logo? Or perhaps your current logo is dated and obsolete? Launch a “new look” campaign at the same time with CFGear’s in-house design team.

Looking to target a younger, tech-savvy crowd? A crowd who is controlling a greater and greater chunk of the economy’s thrill spending? Enter in the MP3 Flash Player.

Not your old generation mp3 player, this one doubles as a flash drive with plug and play, an FM radio and has options for 1GB to 4GB of flash memory for storing MP3 and WMA files. Perfect for everyday use with a headset. The device runs on a single AAA battery, which is included.

Oh, yeah. The MP3 Flash Player also does high quality digital voice recording with playback and has room for documents and other files–the perfect device for everyday business and pleasure.

Not bad for such a gadget measuring 100mm x 32mm x 32mm.

If you can’t name the last time your promotional dollar ended up buying something that people actually enjoyed everyday, consider joining the growing group of companies using customized flash options to reach their audience.

Keep one for yourself, and enjoy.

I wanted to let you know I’ve begun my own Stampin’ Up! demonstrator blog.  I’m very excited!  The site deals entirely with Stampin’ Up! products and just a few of the zillions of project a person can make using our rubber stamps, decor elements, accessories and more!

As a stamper (and a demonstrator) I love to create cards, scrapbook pages, 3-D items and more!  Ever since I was a little girl I’ve always enjoyed making things and even trying to sell them.  My one friend, Jamie, and I used to get together and make silly little things out of paper and egg cartons.  We’d then set up a table along the road and try to sell our treasures.  Unfortunately, we never did very well but I think it’s safe to say my creations have improved since elementary school!

The basket pictured here is one I bought at Michael’s a revamped using the ribbon bundle customers can get for free during our Sale-A-Bration.  In brief, Sale-A-Bration is a sale during the months of February and March when you can get an unlimited number of free stamps or other items for free!  For more information about Sale-A-Bration you’ll want to visit my blog where I’ve spelled it all out. 

One thing you’re liable to find a lot of on my blog will be scrapbook pages.  I enjoy scrapping my children’s pictures and I have a Scrapbook Club in New Freedom, PA that I lead.  We meet once a month to create six 12×12 scrapbook pages.  This particular page you see is one my club will be creating during the month of February.  Several of the images were created using the Sizzix Big Shot which is now carried by Stampin’ Up!  We actually have some of our own exclusive Stampin’ Up! dies.

Now I can’t foget to mention the handmade cards.  I make a lot of cards and teach a lot of people how to make handmade cards.  Here is one example of a card using A Rose is a Rose stamp set that I made yesterday just for the fun of it.  There are and will be many more examples on my blog.

As I said, the blog is still rather new, not nearly as big as this website for bulk flash drives or this one for home construction, but I do write on it each day (and share pictures) and it is growing rapidly.  I hope you will visit and check back every now and then to see what is new.

How old were you when you learned to read? Were you reading through shelves of books before you can remember? Or do you remember a long struggle of trying to understand those black marks printed on the page? Reading doesn’t come as easily to some as it does to others. Many children spend hours a day stumbling through word after word and see improvement come very, very slowly.

As any teacher will tell you, every child learns differently. Some learn visually, seeing a word and a picture, and associating them. Some learn better aurally, hearing a word pronounced and seeing it and being able to connect those in their mind. Teaching reading is a complex technique, combining phonics and actual words. Children must be able to recognize letters and words and associate sounds.

Thanks to the development of technology, a new dimension has been added to education. Parents may gripe about the television taking away from time a kid should be spending reading. But some TV shows are focused on teaching a child to learn to recognize words and read. Parents also gripe about video games and computer games taking hours and hours of mindless time in a child’s life. But many educational programs have been developed.

Kids that grow up using technology will learn better using a medium that they are used to. So yes, this includes educational software. So what should a teacher in a classroom do to implement technology into her teaching style?

Well, to start, she could have the school buy one of many great software titles. But an especially motivated teacher may take the time to develop her own reading program, designed to fit the needs of the students in her school. This program could be copied onto several bulk flash drives that students could insert in their computers in a classroom.

The program wouldn’t have to be super-complex; some possible elements may include interactive quizzes that involve hearing a word and clicking the right sound, or seeing a word and clicking the right picture. The teacher could include landmarks that the students may be familiar with locally or even use names of students in that classroom for a personal touch.

CF Gear consults with clients to develop the best flash drive solution for their unique situations. Clients can pick from several designs of flash drives (perhaps the teacher may want to pick something colorful and fun-shaped for the students) and can have them imprinted or engraved with a logo (the school’s logo and maybe the title of the reading program).

Students learning to read will appreciate a cool colorful school flash drive loaded with a fun program to test their skills. This technology may inspire them more to push themselves and want to read!
