USB web keys are the product of the moment. These have been used by businesses in Europe and Asia for a few years now and in Australia they are beginning to take off in a big way this year. We think your marketing will benefit from web keys as they are so simple to use and so low in cost. What exactly is a web key though and specifically what will you get out of using them as part of your product mix? To find out read on:

What is a Web Key?

A web key is a device that plugs into a conventional USB port found on all computers and laptops. Visually it looks much like a regular flash drive and more often than not it would be much slimmer in profile too. The key difference a Web Key has with a Flash drive though is the internal memory. Web Key has enough internal memory to save a website URL and nothing else. You cannot store data on it nor can you retrieve data other than a website. A flash drive as you all know can save and view anything from photos to documents.

A web key therefore is a good way to send the webpage that you want your customer to see easily. It saves your customers time from needing to memorize a URL or needing to write it down. Simply insert the web key and it will take your customer straight to the web page URL you want them to see.

Why Use a Web Key?

Use a web key when you want your customer to see specific website content that may be specifically about your product or service. The reason why a Web Key is a good medium is cost. They are literally only a fraction of the price of a conventional flash drive. They do not contain memory hence the cost is very cheap. As the price is so low it allows businesses to open a whole window of marketing opportunity including:

- Wide distribution to a larger number of recipients
- Ease of access to your web page of choice for recipient (ie. no Smartphone App opening for QR codes, no pen and paper needed)
- Slim profile of the web key allows for creative distribution especially when combined with other products. Some creative examples include:
