Increase Magazine Subscriptions Through Custom Flash Drives

by Flash Drive Guru on October 12, 2009

Magazines exist for just about every hobby, job, sport, and self-help category imaginable. Millions of Americans subscribe to at least one magazine, and many subscribe to several. Just about anyone can find a magazine that he’s interested in. Cat lovers, golfers, insurance salespeople, home remodelers, bikers, and magicians can all find magazines targeted to their specific hobby or occupation.

Magazines might arrive every two weeks, every month, or every two months, but over time they all pile up. You might be thinking of a specific article but not remember which issue that article was in. For example, maybe you read an article about treating wood at home in a home remodeling magazine. But you have five years’ worth of issues piled up on your shelf and can’t remember when you read that. You want to reread it but don’t really want to wade through all the magazines to figure out which one has that article.

An archive of all the magazine articles would help you to locate the article you’re looking for quickly. Even faster if that archive was on a computer so you could simply search for a term and find a list of related articles.

A magazine publisher could place an archive of back issues on bulk flash drives and sell these to customers, or maybe send them to every subscribing customer for free at the end of a year or 2-year cycle. They could do an annual flash drive, or a 5-year one, or one with an archive of all issues in the history of the magazine. It’s all about customization, and CFgear specializes in customizing products the way you want them.

The publisher could simply list an archive of articles and topics on the flash drive, or they could place PDF copies of each issue on the drive. CFgear’s patented Pulse preloading technology allows you to load a variety of files, like PDFs, onto a custom USB drive.

At the end of a year, a customer might be willing to pay a little extra money and get electronic copies of all the articles he’s read throughout the year. Or he could receive it complimentary as a valued subscriber and enjoy an extra benefit of receiving the magazine.

Think of all the possibilities of using a magazine flash drive. Bookstores could stock flash drives to sell as alternative versions of magazines. The electronic copies could even contain extra articles and pictures as well as video and audio supplements. Internet links could lead to websites with more information on the topics discussed in the articles.

CFgear can also imprint the logo and name of the magazine on each custom USB drive in up to four colors. Pantone color matching insures that the colors look exactly the way you want them to. In fact, depending on which flash drive you choose, you may be able to pick a custom color for the drive itself.

CFgear can help your magazine promote itself through archiving issues on custom bulk flash drives. Check out our website today at www.CFgear.com to see the many choices we offer!
