What can you do with a collection of computer flash drives? You can string them from a Christmas tree as decorations. You can stack them on end and see how high a tower you can build. You can paint them all the colors of the rainbow and line them up in order.

OK, so you’re probably not going to do any of these things with flash drives. But there are many, many uses for bulk flash drives. If you’re purchasing USB flash drives from CFgear, you already know where you intend to use them. And if you don’t know how you would use flash drives, you might be thinking, “Why would I ever want to buy USB drives in bulk?” There just might be quite a few more applications than you can think of. In fact, one could use flash drives in many different ways for many years.

A college can use flash drives to organize information for incoming students. Each freshman could receive one that has a complete class schedule, information on adjusting to school life, a campus map, basic programs for school such as a dictionary, and links to useful websites. Instead of receiving a jumble of papers and not knowing what information is necessary and what is useless trash, each student can have one small handy flash drive that he can just plug into his computer to access all the info he needs to get started in school. Of course, each drive would have the school logo printed on it.

So a student graduates from college and moves on to work for an ad agency. He wants a way to promote the ads he is developing but is having trouble getting his foot in the door in a competitive market. But he remembers the USB drives he received in school and thinks they would be a great tool for promoting his ads. He contacts CFgear and they immediately help him develop a custom preload data interface in which he can link to images of ads that he has designed. He can just hand a flash drive to a potential client so she can see his previous work.

Now, this person also volunteers for a community fundraising group. They wash cars, mow lawns, clean houses, and do other things to help people and raise money for charity. They want to promote their efforts and possibly receive some donations from some businesses in town. Once again, he recalls the value of USB drives. He has CFgear develop drives that contain promotional information, financial records, donation forms, pictures of community events, and links to a website with more info. The fundraising group can give flash drives to potential donors, who can see all the group’s work by plugging a drive into a computer.

Here’s a guy who just can’t get away from bulk custom USB drives and realizes their value for everything he does. CFgear helps him improve everything from school to work to volunteer efforts.
