Retro and high tech come together in lenticular credit card USB flash drives. Lenticular printing dates back to the 1940’s. You can learn more about it on our page titled Lenticular Promotional Products. Need a quick primer on flash drives? Click on Technology with a Visual Impact.

When you marry the two technologies it creates a product that really stands out from the crowd. Credit card flash drives continue to grow in popularity as they are literally not wider or longer than a standard credit card.  This makes them extremely portable and with the advances in flash memory technology, these lenticular credit card USB flash drives hold up to 16GB (gig bytes).

In plain English that is the equivalent of:  

• 7618 jpeg photographs
• 3809 MP3 songs
• 30 feature films in Mpeg format

From a marketers perspective we still encourage our clients to load important content on the USB flash drives. Simply get your initial message out to the client base. This means everything from a new product introduction to an operating manual. Give your client the freedom and flexibility to either keep the content on the drive, down load it to their own mass storage or let them use the empty drive for their own use.

Are you looking for customized water bottles? How about this? We now have eco friendly customized water bottles at affordable prices.

First let’s address eco friendly. For the past several there has been a serious debate on plastic food and water containers that contain BPA. There are tens of thousands of pages on Google about this topic. The latest FDA statement in March 2012 states that they won’t ban BPA but they will continue to research it.

These customized water bottles are made from either HDPE or LDPE which unless you’re a scientist translate to high density polyethylene or its low density cousin. They are both petroleum based and recyclable. More good news, they are made in the USA.

At MCM we get a large number of inquiries about how to market phone apps. Our first question is about the type of app. If it’s a free, large scale audience like, “Talking Tom Cat”, it is all about using social media to turn it viral. If it is a business app with a clearly defined audience we have a simple solution.

Here is a recent case study. We were approached by a small regional bank. They were releasing a new on-line phone based banking app. The audience was clearly defined but definitely not younger demographic. After all, this bank was founded in 1854 but they were clever enough to offer a phone app.

We suggested the DigiClean® screen cleaner and attached it to 4”x6” marketing card printed on both sides. The DigiClean® is neatly affixed to the card and is the logo of the bank. The card clearly describes the advantages of the new phone app and how to use the screen cleaner on the smart phone. It’s the modern day refrigerator magnet in that cell phones are view over 35 times per day. There is no better way how to market phone apps. It is an attention grabbing solution that also provides a practical screen cleaner.

Call us today and let us explain how we can help you design a DigiClean ® card to market your new phone app and start driving traffic to your app immediately. See the design below.
