CFgear Journal

If your company is considering ordering bulk flash drives for your employees, the uses are endless. They can store thousands of digital files such as music, photos, texts, and even videos. What is even more great is that the information will be stored on a lightweight, easily-transportable device that is more efficient and effective than a CD or DVD.

If you are unsure whether your employees will actually benefit from a flash drive, consider some of the ways that they could be used.

1. Policies

Employee policies and standards could be uploaded onto the flash drive. The employee could simply insert their flash drive and review set policies and rules. OSHA standards could even be included on the flash drive. With all of the set standards in front of them, they will know exactly what is acceptable and what isn’t. continue

Here at CFgear, we always talk about and support the host of green initiatives underway throughout the world.  From recycled boxes, to reusable plastic, to literally shipping with recycled newspapers. Instead of getting your flash drives wrapped in yesterday’s grocery circular, we now use leftover rolls of newspaper from a local printer on some orders.  If you happen to get one wrapped in blank newspaper, don’t just toss it away.  To help motivate you to reuse it, sometimes we will write a note on the paper with a phone number to call me and get a $50 gift card for helping keep the “recycling cycle” going, so take a look before just tossing the packing paper away on your next order!

Recently, I was traveling through the mid west on my way to visit family.  Along the way, I kept notes on at least five ways I personally witnessed where flash drives could have saved time, money and the environment.  Here’s my list, in no particular order:

1. I needed new wiper blades after hitting a thunderstorm in Wisconsin.  When I went to the car care center, they nearly rolled out a catalog with 1000 pages of items in it.  Instead of printing that catalog – which probably has to be reprinted every couple of months – why not put it on a flash drive? It could then be updated as needed via the internet and copied conveniently to flash drives versus wasting hundreds of thousands of sheets of paper. continue

After several hard months of grueling, creative work, we’re proud to invite you to try out the new and improved CFgear.com that we launched this past Easter weekend. We’ve got a lot more improvements we’ll be making to our newly redesigned website over the weeks to come. As you journey around it, please don’t hesitate to leave any feedback on the site by leaving a comment below. If you run into any broken links, would like additional features, or have any sort of constructive criticism, we’re all ears!

Don’t forget to check out our latest site launched featuring another video with C. F. Gary (of course!). This site targets those searching for innovative ideas for school fundraisers. Instead of pushing stale popcorn at the neighbors, why not offer them something they can use long term? Be sure to visit our fundraiser flash drives website today (and tell your local school about the site and our services too).

At CFgear, we’re proud to announce the launch of the first in a long series of finely honed, niche micro sites. This first site targets conference planners searching for better ways to give out the traditional reams of information to attendees. continue

Yep, you’ve told us again and again. And we’ve been listening (hey – we always listen to you!). But now we’ve finally done it. We’ve developed a selection of laser etchable USB flash drives which we can customize for you on the spur of the moment. You give us a call at 800.371.1984, look over the options (note the colors available as well as the memory), and we’ll get moving (lightning fast!). And, to make this new service, chocolatey sweet, there are no minimum purchase requirements for our lickety split, fast turnaround, laser etchable flash drives. So whether you just need one to give to the CEO as a “thank you” or you need a dozen to pass out at next week’s board meeting, we can do it.

Check out our fast custom USB flash drive service today!

Got some strong opinions about our website, blog, or the tips & articles we feature? Like our web design or find the site atrociously impossible to navigate? While we can’t pay you for feedback (wouldn’t you just love a free USB flash drive – but, sorry), we do promise to listen very, very carefully. Your comments are what we rely on when making major and minor improvements to how we live out our business online. So please, grab a McDonald’s mocha, stamp a grin on the face and do a good deed for the day by dropping us a comment – either in the comments for this post, or by emailing us at consumeraffairs@cfgear.com.

Thanks!

Sorry to the folks who tried to email us or visit our website during the late morning/early afternoon on Cyber Monday. Our website is hosted by some kind folks in Flint, Michigan who experienced an ill timed heavy snowfall which led to a power outage and a downtown water main break. Their backup generators & lines were flooded by the water, and they scurried to bring in a backhoe to work on the water break while an electrician sped out to the site to hook up their mobile backup-backup generator. Thankfully, they’ve got the patch in place, our websites are back on the web, and email is once again beginning to flow. Thank you for your patience!

For companies in search of unique, eco-friendly approaches to deploying their marketing literature, preloaded flash drives are officially a skyrocketing trend. But don’t be mislead by the use of the word “trend”. According to many companies big and small, green is here to stay as it’s often times leading to ways to increase efficiencies and thus reduce costs. continue
