Thrills and Spills All Captured on A Branded USB Flash Drive
Theme parks are not only a great day out for all the family but in these days of doom and gloom they’re a great anti-depressant. Whilst the queues can, at certain times, be “challenging” theme parks are still a huge favourite with everyone and the parks themselves just seem to get better and better.
Long gone are the days of tired and rickety rides and poor on-park facilities. Today, there seems to be a rolling program of investment in new rides and attractions in an every increasing attempt to lure more of us to the parks and to extend our stay(s) by staying at hotels on the park site(s).
The investment seems to be working. Despite the current economic uncertainty we’re all facing attendance levels at theme parks around the world have held up pretty well with around 200 million people expected to pass through the parks turnstiles this year alone.
The innovation at theme parks is not restricted to the rides either. Anyone who’s ever been to a theme park will have been photographed pulling all sorts of embarrassing faces and poses on the rides as they hurtle around the track. Typically these photographs are available to purchase from the kiosks at the end of the ride or from a collection point as you leave the park.
The photo’s serve as a great memento of your day at the park and they’re very popular but for many the prospect of carry around relatively large photographs all day or taking care of them on the journey home is now one they relish. Undoubtedly lots of enthusiastic park goers will have purchased their photo’s from the ride kiosks only to subsequently get them drenched on the water rides or bashed and battered on the extreme thrill rides!
Some Theme Parks have offered the photo’s on a CD or DVD but again these are not the smallest or easiest things to carry around with you all day and even when printed up they’re not the most attractive item. An alternative that is now beginning to find favour with some of the more innovative park operators is a branded USB flash drive.
Branded USB Flash Drives are small, discrete, holds loads of photographs, can be slipped into a pocket very easily or attached to a bag or belt with a keyring or lanyard. The flash drives can be printed with the logo of the theme park and they can be uploaded with all the photographs from the kiosk around the park quickly and easily.
Flash drives are work really well as an on-going advertisement for the park. Its typical that once the photographs have been transferred from the flash drive and stored on a home PC or printed that the flash drive will continue to be used as a “flash drive”. This in turns ensures on-going brand recall and exposure and hopefully generates repeat business to the park!
