<p>If you&#8217;ve Googled &#8220;Customized Printed USB Flash Drives &#8220;, &#8220;Custom USB  Drives Canada&#8221;, or Custom Printed Flash Drives&#8221;, then you&#8217;re in the right spot.<a title="www.standardmedia.ca" href="../" target="_blank"> Standard Media Services</a> is one of  the leading USB flash drive sources in North America, and we take great  pride in assisting our customers with making informed decisions about  the variety of different models, sizes, and aesthetic items to take into  consideration when they are considering using custom printed usb flash  drives. <a title="Request A Quote from Standard Media Services" href="../tools/request/" target="_blank">Request A Quote</a>, browse  through our <a href="../services/usb-flash-drives/catalogue/" target="_blank">Custom USB Flash Drive catalogue</a>, or contact us  directly at info AT standardmedia DOT ca.</p>
<p><strong>Q: Why should I use a custom USB flash drive for marketing? They are typically more expensive than something like a traditional CD-ROM or printed collateral, right?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Yes, but&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>You can&#8217;t categorize a custom USB flash drive and a typical piece of optical media as comparable items. They might both be designed to deliver content or data, but they are very different things. We wanted to clarify on this, so that if you&#8217;re considering using a custom USB flash drive for your marketing&#8230;especially if you&#8217;ve historically used anything other than one, and you&#8217;re contemplating them&#8230;you <strong>really</strong> understand these nifty little pieces for what they are.</p>
<p>Custom USB flash drives are not just decorated computer peripherals with your company logo on them. These are marketing pieces that effectively combine promotional use, content delivery, long term practical usefulness, and brand impression return.  You might think there&#8217;s a lot of promotional products that can have your name stamped on them, but, does a mini flash light or zippo lighter have the same day to day personal and professional benefit of a flash drive? No. More than ever before, people are consuming and creating content with computers (music, movies, images) in an electronic format. Flash memory is regularly used for the storage, quick transfer and access, and mobility of this digital content. When you give someone something that has a regular personal and/or professional application, they use it. When they use, it is visible. The number of single customer impressions that a flash drive with a logo will receive is up to 40 times more than a conventional printed piece of advertising (flyer, brochure, or even business card), or promotional product, and they typically tend to stay in use with recipients for an average of about 18 months.</p>
<p>As for the delivery of content or data &#8211; custom flash memory does a better job with that as well. We conducted a survey of 75 customers in November 0f last year, specifically seeking clients who had previously utilized a CD-Rom for the provision of data to their respective intended audiences (marketing, internal documentation, video content). The unanimous response was that custom flash drives created significantly better rates of response and engagement, as well as notable increases in website traffic for those who either worked a physical printing of their URL onto the exterior of the drives or into the content itself.</p>

<p>If you&#8217;ve Googled &#8220;Custom Printed USB Flash Drives Canada&#8221;, &#8220;Custom USB Drives Canada&#8221;, or Custom Printed Flash Drives&#8221;, we&#8217;re glad that you found us.<a title="www.standardmedia.ca" href="../" target="_blank"> Standard Media Services</a> is one of the leading USB flash drive sources in North America, and we take great pride in assisting our customers with making informed decisions about the variety of different models, sizes, and aesthetic items to take into consideration when they are considering using custom printed usb flash drives. <a title="Request A Quote from Standard Media Services" href="../tools/request/" target="_blank">Request A Quote</a>, browse through our <a href="http://standardmedia.ca/services/usb-flash-drives/catalogue/" target="_blank">Custom USB Flash Drive catalogue</a>, or contact us directly at info AT standardmedia DOT ca.</p>
<p>We recently did a run of custom printed USB flash drives for <a title="Navantis Canada" href="http://www.navantis.com/Pages/Default.aspx" target="_blank">Navantis Canada</a>. They selected our <a href="http://standardmedia.ca/services/usb-flash-drives/catalogue/the-vista/" target="_blank">Vista</a> model, which has a premium brushed aluminum finish to the body&#8217;s drive exterior. The client considered a traditional pad printed logo or an engraving, which is a decorative feature that we include on our metallic cased models. When considering how to decorate your drives, there are a few things to think about, and which we take the time to walk clients through and even proof in both ways to review the decorative effect.</p>
<p>Engraving is a nice way to introduce a premium aesthetic to the drive, however, it can be limited in its lack of ability to showcase color. You are relying on the depth of the engraving to indicate contrast, and you can only do this on a metallic model. if your logo is elaborate and detailed, includes sub text or a tagline, or is generally on the smaller side, then an engraving is probably not the best way to go. A conventional pad print in these cases is ideal. We also recommend engraving drives that are full bodied metallic, like our <a href="http://standardmedia.ca/services/usb-flash-drives/catalogue/the-miniracer/" target="_blank">Miniracer</a>, or a even <a href="http://standardmedia.ca/services/usb-flash-drives/catalogue/twist/" target="_blank">The Twist</a>, (metallic casing takes up the entire swing casing of the drive) as they have a tendency to look nicer when not framed by an element of plastic. The aesthetic quality of the drives is something that is important, and that we don&#8217;t take lightly. We&#8217;re at your disposal with any question you might have, and can proof you a variety of different ways and work with you to achieve the desired look and feel. Need more information?

<p><a href="http://www.markmotorsofottawa.com/" target="_blank">Mark Motors of Ottawa</a>, one of Canada&#8217;s leading Audi and Porsche group of dealerships, recently contracted <a href="http://standardmedia.ca/" target="_blank">Standard Media</a> for a run of custom USB flash drives. They opted for a custom shape in the impression of Audi&#8217;s distinguished 4 rings with the dealership&#8217;s information on the back. They were looking for something distinctive and useful to leave with potential buyers and with new owners that created a sense of exclusivity. The drives were done as 2 GB models, and were custom molded with a standard single color white pad print on the back with the dealership&#8217;s two national capital region locations. With every purchase, and with every prospective buyer, the dealerships wanted to provide a highly memorable way of keeping the Audi brand on the consumer&#8217;s mind with a compelling and premium aesthetic that was reflective of the product they deal in.</p>

Miv&#8217;s commercial work is well known around the National Capital Region and includes the <a href="http://www.gallery.ca/" target="_blank">National Art Gallery of Canada</a>, <a href="http://www.sciencetech.technomuses.ca/" target="_blank">The Museum of Science and Technology</a>, <a href="www.artbank.ca">The Art Bank of Canada</a>, and <a href="www.ottawamagazine.com" target="_blank">Ottawa City Magazine</a>.

<p>Miv decided to utilize a custom USB flash drive to provide proofs for clients and for commercial promotional purposes, and wanted something that looked refined and elegant. We suggested our Mini Racer model with engraving to give it a premium touch. &#8220;The fact that a USB flash drive can be reused was a major deciding factor for me&#8221;, says Miv, &#8220;I wanted to give my clients something that would emphasize the studio&#8217;s brand and that they could find useful in a personal capacity&#8221;.</p>

<p>You may have Googled &#8220;DVD Replication Canada&#8221;, &#8220;DVD Replication U.S.A.&#8221;, or &#8220;DVD Region Codes&#8221;, you&#8217;ve come to the right place. You&#8217;re probably getting ready to create a retail ready DVD product. We are Canada and the United States&#8217; source for DVD manufacturing.  We&#8217;re going to take the opportunity to talk about DVD region codes, how they affect the burning of a master that you may be sending in for replication, and how it can affect the distribution of your project. <a href="../tools/request/" target="_blank">Request a Quote</a> or contact us for an estimate at info AT standardmedia DOT ca. Check out our <a href="../home/special-offers/" target="_blank">Special Offers</a> as well.</p>
<p><strong>Q: What is a region code for, and how does it play into my DVD replication order?</strong></p>
<p>A: Motion picture studios want to control the home release of movies in different countries because cinematic theatrical releases aren&#8217;t neccessarily simultaneous (a movie may come out on video in the Canada when it&#8217;s just opening in Asia). A region code is literally a byte of data that is added to a DVD master, and subsequently added to any of the copies through DVD replication. Certain machines will be set up to accept certain region codes in various countries. There are 7 regions:</p>
<p>1: U.S., Canada, U.S. Territories<br />
2: Japan, Europe, South Africa, and Middle East (including Egypt)<br />
3: Southeast Asia and East Asia (including Hong Kong)<br />
4: Australia, New Zealand, Pacific Islands, Central America, Mexico, South America, and the Caribbean<br />
5: Eastern Europe (Former Soviet Union), Indian subcontinent, Africa, North Korea, and Mongolia<br />
6: China<br />
7: Reserved<br />
8: Special international venues (airplanes, cruise ships, etc.)</p>
<p><span id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder2_lblContentTop"><strong style="color: black; background-color: #a0ffff;"></strong>All of North America is region<strong style="color: black; background-color: #a0ffff;"></strong> 1. If you want to be able to sell your content all over the world, we recommend leaving it region free (also known as all region or region 0). Most burning and authoring softwares have the region free setting as a default, however, you should make sure of this anyways prior to submitting your master in. </span></p>

<p>A question we get regularly from customers manufacturing or duplicating their audio or music project with us is whether they can add CD text. There are couple of things to note. CD Text is supported in some &#8211; not all &#8211; CD players ranging from audio decks, to standalone carousels and mini systems. Secondly, if you&#8217;ve burned your CD master with software like Nero or Toast,  that allows you to manually associate titles and names with each track, then once you&#8217;ve burned your disc, it should call up the information provided the system you&#8217;re playing it on supports CD Text.</p>
<p>Adding song info for Winamp or Itunes is a different process alltogether, and we&#8217;re certain that this is what people are really asking about when we field questions like this. It&#8217;s a comparable result, but meant for broader recognition. In order to add song info, you or your mastering engineer needs to submit the information to the <a href="http://www.gracenote.com/business_solutions/music_id/" target="_blank">Gracenote Music Recognition Service</a>, formerly knows as the CDDB (Compact Disc Database). In order to do this, you must either purchase Gracenote CDDB MusicID software and license, or have it done for you by a recording or mastering engineer who owns a copy. The submission of your MusicID tags, titles, and name associated with a recording generally takes about 48-72 hours to appear in the database, however, this is still not a guarantee that the textual designation associated with your recording will appear in certain players that dont&#8217; support it.</p>

<p>If you’ve Googled “Ottawa Web Design Services”, “Ottawa Web Design Companies” or “Ottawa Web Site Development”, we’re glad you found us. <a title="Standard Media Services" href="../" target="_blank">Standard Media</a> has a full team of web site professionals that can provide the array of essential services for any small businesses’ web site needs. You can view samples of work in our <a title="Standard Media Services Web Portfolio" href="../services/web-and-multimedia/work-samples/" target="_blank">web portfolio</a> or <a href="../tools/request/" target="_blank">Request A Quote</a>.</p>
<p>Web site design is a subjective thing. Everyone has their own take on what is a nice looking site and people will have different opinions on what works visually and what doesn&#8217;t. The initial presentation of a mock up and/or an interior page of a web site is always the most crucial first step with a client because even though we&#8217;re hired to be the web design experts, at the end of the day, regardless of what level of knowledge a client may have, they have to like what their web site looks like and believe in the design. You can discuss technical aspects of function or search engine optimization, but our visual responses preside over that switch in our heads of whether we like something or not. Add in the personal vested interest and desire of any business owner (Ottawa or not) to ensure that their business online is as well presented as possible, and this initial step in the process can be a tricky landscape to navigate.</p>
<p>We like to approach this first step of the project with a lot of homework being performed firsthand. We research and assess not only the local playing field, but the web&#8217;s market landscape.  We like to look at the what the major players in an industry are doing, how it relates to our customers&#8217; customers, and how well the things that work accommodate the user, regardless of the computer they are viewing a web site on. Most importantly, and before all of this &#8211; we listen. Listening to the clients expectations, ideas, desires, and hopes with respect to their web site is the most important and crucial first step to assisting our clients with creating a web presence that works on all levels.</p>
<p>As an example, we recently deployed the new web site for<a title="Prinzo Fine Catering" href="http://prinzofinecatering.com/" target="_blank"> Prinzo Fine Catering</a>, one of Ottawa&#8217;s most established catering organizations. Prinzo wanted a web site that reflected their 40 year history in the industry, the quality of their fine catering services, and the care that they put into the details with respect to a client&#8217;s function. Prinzo Fine Catering has the distinction of being on most Government of Canada and Crown Corporation <a href="http://prinzofinecatering.com/services/venues/" target="_blank">short lists</a> as a vendor of choice for official galas and events, and the company has a reputation for high standard execution on major functions in the Ottawa Carleton Region, easily catering events from 100 to 1000 people with a full service approach that has earned them <a href="http://prinzofinecatering.com/testimonials/" target="_blank">accolades</a> since 1969. Their old web site had few images, and suffered a bit of a dated look for 2009. The company wanted to visually show their process, their food, and most importantly, they wanted to visually define their touch spanning the diversity of functions they&#8217;ve had the privilege of working on. We incorporated a constantly accessible photo gallery in most key sections of the site where the client can easily change images and galleries. These accessible galleries are organized by the <a href="http://prinzofinecatering.com/services/" target="_blank">service</a> definitions. <a href="http://prinzofinecatering.com/services/galas-soirees/" target="_blank">Socials-Galas-Soirees</a> has a custom gallery, as do the other core services, namely <a href="http://prinzofinecatering.com/services/weddings/" target="_blank">Weddings</a>, and <a href="http://prinzofinecatering.com/services/corporate-events/" target="_blank">Corporate Events</a>. We consulted on the copy and introduced an SEO pass, as well as the site architecture on this project, and utilized a flash photo hero for the main page that capitalized on the visual presentation. As users visited the site&#8217;s home page, we also introduced quick access to a randomized gallery in the bottom portion of the page with clear and easy access to the main menu navigation, as well as a reworking of what the main menu navigation was, with each one&#8217;s associated sub sections. <a href="http://prinzofinecatering.com/menus/" target="_blank">Menus</a> was defined better, with the company&#8217;s culinary variety sub sectioned in a clean and easy to access method. This key section of the web site can be updated by the client easily. Some of the other efficiency items we addressed were a <a href="http://prinzofinecatering.com/request/" target="_blank">web form</a> that required validation to minimize on spam and provided essential details for accurate a customer&#8217;s estimate back to Prinzo&#8217;s staff.</p>

<p>If you’ve Googled “Custom USB Thumbdrives Canada”, “Customized USB Flash Drives with Logos Canada”, or “Printed USB Flash Drives Canada”, then you’ve come to the right place. <a title="www.standardmedia.ca" href="../" target="_blank">Standard Media Services</a> is one of the leading USB flash drive sources in North America, and we take great pride in assisting our customers with making informed decisions about the variety of different models, sizes, and aesthetic items to take into consideration when they are considering using custom usb flash drives. <a title="Request A Quote from Standard Media Services" href="../tools/request/" target="_blank">Request A Quote</a>, or contact us directly at info AT standardmedia DOT ca.</p>
<p>Common misconceptions about custom USB flash drives &#8211; Volume 1:</p>
<p>All Custom USB Flash Drives are the same quality. <strong>Wrong. </strong></p>
<p>This is a myth, and a dangerous one at that. Not all Custom USB Flash Drives are the same quality, and there are a variety of different things a consumer needs to know before purchasing them. These are electronic components, and as such, and like any other product, their quality is determined by the care and quality assurance invested into manufacturing, the quality of the components, and the process. There are quality grades of memory that an average consumer can usually determine. We affectionately like to refer to it as the A-B-C-and D grade of flash memory. This applies to whether you are purchasing 500 custom USB flash drives with your company or organization&#8217;s logo or brand printed onto them, or whether you are purchasing a thumbdrive off a store shelf at a retailer or big box store.</p>
<p>Quality memory will have a lifetime warranty &#8211; commonly about 5-10 years. Often times, you&#8217;ll also see the RoHS compliance logo associated with  products of a higher grade &#8211; meaning that they don&#8217;t use harmful elements to the environment like hexavalent chromium, lead, cadmium, or mercury. Quality memory will have a formatting guarantee &#8211; meaning that your expectation that your custom USB drive order arrives ready to work right out of the box will be met. They don&#8217;t need any special tinkering, and it&#8217;s literally a situation where you can plug one in and immediately begin saving, transporting, or relaying files. <a href="http://standardmedia.ca/" target="_blank">Standard Media Services</a> only deals in A grade RoHS compliant custom USB flash drives, and we offer a lifetime warranty with a drive integrity check prior to shipping your order.  We include a formatting guarantee with every piece that we deliver to a client. In short, your order will arrive in perfect working order and ready to use, looking exactly like the proof we electronically provide to you for approval. When you&#8217;re putting your company or organization&#8217;s brand on a promotionally effective piece like this, these are things that are good to note in an effort to avoid faulty units and users contacting you looking for a replacement on a dud. As the customer, you are relying on a vendor who will enable you to avoid these kinds of situations.</p>
<p>The lower the grade of memory, the less of these indications of quality you may see. You will see drives with a 1 year warranty, and brand names that you may not have heard of.  The flash memory market is ripe with counterfeit chips, poorly made components, or weak process that follows or leads up to manufacturing . Lower grade memory will have a variety of issues that can occur, from the corrupting of files, to an inability to be recognized by the computer they&#8217;re being plugged into. All of these things need to be taken into consideration when considering drives as a medium.</p>

You can view samples of work in our <a title="Standard Media Services Web Portfolio" href="http://standardmedia.ca/services/web-and-multimedia/work-samples/" target="_blank">web portfolio</a> or <a href="http://standardmedia.ca/tools/request/" target="_blank">Request A Quote</a>.</p>
<p>We wanted to talk about something that it seems like we&#8217;ve been discussing regularly. In our opinion, small business has historically been an under serviced and relatively over looked segment of the market, and we&#8217;ve been focusing specifically on assisting Ottawa based companies with a desire to increase their presence on the web, with organic natural search, as well as with a web experience for their customers that is fluid and yields results. At the end of the day, it&#8217;s not only about a nice looking design. This is an important misconception. It&#8217;s about engaging your customers and facilitating their experience when they come across your web site. The age of thinking that an organization&#8217;s web presence as a secondary necessity is over, but surprisingly, it is still thought of as that, especially with established businesses. Web sites now act as credibility badges with most consumers and deserve to be at the forefront of any and all marketing and communications initiatives. A company or organization that doesn&#8217;t seem to have made a significant investment in their web presence can be inadvertently hurting their business, without even realizing, sometimes even after they&#8217;ve gone through and paid for a redesign.</p>
<p>There are 2 main questions that usually kick off an assessment when we deal with new clients with existing web sites:</p>
<ul>
<li>Is your current site working? An assessment on content and architecture &#8211; is the copy SEO friendly? Is the menu architecture of the site simple to pass through? Is your web site facilitating the finding of key information related to your services or your products, and is it driving business? Is the overall site architecture easy to move through? Can users find what they&#8217;re looking for quickly and effectively? Is it retaining visitors?</li>
<li>Is the current design working? An assessment on design &#8211; is the site visually engaging, pertinent to the industry theme, and does the design embrace the content effectively? The design affects the first question greatly.</li>
</ul>
<p>We wanted to direct some attention to a recent web site deployment that we completed for <a title="Terrachoice Environmental Marketing" href="http://terrachoice.com/" target="_blank">Terrachoice Environmental Marketing</a> back in April of this year that illustrates the points well. The organization publishes a report called &#8220;<a title="SINS report" href="http://sinsofgreenwashing.org/findings/greenwashing-report-2009/" target="_blank">The Seven Sins of Greenwashing</a>&#8220;, which puts the spotlight on companies who &#8220;greenwash&#8221; their products in an effort to pass them as environmentally conscious with consumers. We live in an age where consumers are increasingly making buying decisions based on how sensitive a product is to the earth it ultimately either came from, or will end up back in. Unfortunately we also live in an age where companies will sometimes attempt to fool those same consumers. In this case, we were hired to simply design the web site, using client supplied copy and assets, however we made a few suggestions on the presentation of the information that we worked into the design and were involved in another very cool aspect of the project which we go into greater detail about later on this post. Clean and elegant was ideal for this site considering the content, and we were looking at ensuring that the access to the report and it&#8217;s associated info was clear and engaging through the look and feel, with a casual and light feel to it. You can check out the web site at <a href="http://sinsofgreenwashing.org/" target="_blank">www.sinsofgreenwashing.org</a></p>
<p><a href="http://standardmedia.ca/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/NAMETHATSIN.JPG"><img class="size-full wp-image-706 alignnone" title="NAME THAT SIN" src="http://standardmedia.ca/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/NAMETHATSIN.JPG" alt="Name That Sin by Terrachoice Environmental Marketing" width="465" height="435" /></a></p>
<p>Another aspect to this project was creating a unique element to the site that was engaging, highly retentive, and most importantly, effective in relaying the Seven Sins of Greenwashing to users and consumers &#8211; it&#8217;s most important content. This was the purpose of the report and ultimately the site itself. Terrachoice wanted visitors to peruse the site and read the report, but they also wanted illustrated practical examples of what to look out for on consumer products and to truly leave users with an educated and informed visit. This is where we developed the idea of <a href="http://sinsofgreenwashing.org/games-tools/name-that-sin-game/" target="_blank">Name That Sin</a> with the client. The game is an application that is available on the web site, but that has also been released as a <a href="http://apps.facebook.com/greenwashing/?_fb_fromhash=7325d91d49285d19ef5b4c21c5c58956" target="_blank">Facebook application</a> for play as well.  Itemized questions presented as a flash game that randomly choose from a database of client developed content, presented in a fun and engaging way. We decided to tap into the power of <a href="http://www.facebook.com/" target="_blank">Facebook&#8217;s</a> social network to present the game in association with the client&#8217;s Facebook group &#8211; <a href="http://www.facebook.com/business/dashboard/?ref=sb#/pages/Sins-of-Greenwashing/89790093141?ref=ts" target="_blank">Sins of Greenwashing.</a></p>
