Behold: Pexagon
In my wanderings on the trade show floor last week I came upon some coolness that I sort of want to keep to myself. I am such a nice person that I just can’t do it. Pexagon is a customization company that offers USA made products and services that are nifty, neato, and I have run out of adjectives, but you get the idea. Flash drives, portable drives, iPhone cases can all be customized with logos or text, many in 1 off. That means you don’t have to buy coolness by the case. No minimum order, and no set up fee. The two things that were stopping me from offering these sorts of lovelies have been removed.
They also offer a flash drive pen that caused me to have a flask back to the Friends episode where Joey bought his girlfriend a pen clock, because it was a pen and a clock. I digress.
I personally will be picking up the wooden flash drives, because they are SO Carli.
EDITORS NOTE: You might have noticed, if you were at WPPI, that they had our logo on their stuff. I have to say that A) it looked great and B) we did not get paid for it nor is this article being written in consideration of our logo being shown at their booth etc, etc, etc… They contacted us stating that they wanted to use some well known logos and ask us for ours which we then provided. Carli took it upon herself to write this article and I have to agree the wooden drives are WAY COOL though I don’t have an image of one handy.

This looks like a totally fun idea! There website is: http://www.pexagontech.com/
Sounds like a great idea. My concern is how does this affect the “value” associated with a client picking up their proofs. “Here’s your flash drive”……seems to deflate the value in terms of the actual “product”.
This could be perfect for my business model. I sell digital copies of photos by the disc, or really by the MB, with price reductions at higher volumes. As rarely as people use data discs with their computers these days, and how many HDTVs let you just plug in a thumb drive, these might be a preferred option for many people.
Not only that, but you know the client is going to be either keep the drive for further use, or give it away, and then your name is out there with whomever keeps it. Your logo or name is there when someone plugs it into their TV for initial viewing. It’s there when they have it around for general use. How valuable is your name under normalcy? Well, if you client has lots of friends who are around that marrying age, your name could be foremost on recommendations. I can tell you that all of the good vendors at our wedding ended up getting 5+ referrals just from us.
Nice catch, Carli, although wood would be a laughable finish around there here parts.
It’s neat that you CAN do that…but I don’t think it’s the right presentation for Wedding Photographs.
