DVD Duplication News, Dallas Texas

In the wake of sophisticated global networking and Internet capabilities, the facilitation of sharing, sending, using, and creating digital media is done at fast speeds, and in great numbers. Websites such as MySpace and You Tube provide easier access to file sharing and viewing. For media reproduction (dvd duplication, replication), widely known as DVD copying, this makes mediums used to do so more prevalent. (more…)

So you just need to “burn” a few discs, CD and/or DVD, huh? What do most people do when this occurs? They go out to their local office supply store and purchase blank discs, maybe even to some larger buyer’s “club” offering discounted prices for larger bulk quantities. Sound familiar?

Hey, no doubt, this fits the average scenario and average need. But since when did you want to be “average?” Is it possible to turn this media need around to further your marketing and branding efforts? Oh, you BET IT IS!

Consider an insurance company or insurance agent, for example. When insuring a home, whether for owner or renter, what agent does not advise their client to either take pictures or videos of their belongings for later verification should theives or natural disaster strike? Most agents I know do this. Now what if he provided a black CDR or DVDR with his agency’s name, logo, etc screened onto the disc? Would that not help his client keep up with this very important piece of information? Certainly, that disc will stick out above all others in their home for easy retrieval, correct? Would this not make an impression on the client for the agent providing such a disc?

Let’s jump ship to a college or university, maybe offered through an alumni office. Alumni purchase the blank CDRs and DVDRs with their alma mater’s logo, mascot, etc screened onto the disc. What do they do with these? They send photos or videos of weddings, new births, alumni get-togethers, family vacations, etc not only to other alumni of their institution, but maybe to family and friends from other institutions with an upcoming college-bound teen in the home. Maybe these are sold to students on campus who do the same thing and send back to friends at home still deciding on which college they will attend. Get the idea?

Blank media, screened with your company information, logo, etc can be a powerful tool to further establish your name and your business in the minds of those seeing these discs…and whoever “they” forward the disc to as well. It sure does more for your business image than those blank discs purchased at the local office supply store, doesn’t it?

These are not limited to insurance agents and colleges/universities, however. Churches many times use these to offer the pastor’s weekly sermons on a more professional looking disc that is burned on-demand vs. professionally replicated (with larger quantity requirements and turntimes). But also it’s not just churches, but seminars, conventions, etc where discs are being burned on-site and on-demand. It’s all about creating or furthering your “brand” in the minds of those who receive these discs and, again, pass them along.

The cost is not that expensive, if you look at these as a “promotional item” vs. an office supply. How much do you pay for customized/personalized pens, stationary, paperweights, paperclip holders, key rings, etc vs. those same generic items you purchase at the local office supply store. And why do you willing pay more for these items? Simple, you know these are sales tools, not just office tools. BINGO! Now apply that same mentality to the blank media you’ve been purchasing and using to currently only forward the marketing effects of Office Depot, Office Max, etc whose names are currently etched on those discs. Did they offer you a discount for helping their marketing campaign? Probably not, so why not use “their” same strategy and market yourself when using blank disc media?

You’ll never look at one of those store-bought discs again now without thinking of “marketing potential” vs. standard office supply. Good! You can pay me later for the new marketing insight via your next purchase of pre-screened blank media discs here at Duplium.

Without question, digital downloads are becoming more popular. So often I am asked, “What is the future for disc media?” Maybe, just maybe in 5-10 years from now that will be a good question, but as for “today” disc media is still alive and well.

There is still a good bit of the populous who simply cannot (for whatever reason) access content online, either at work or at home. These issues stem from firewalls to broadband vs. dial-up issues, but not everyone has either (a) access or (b) broadband width to allow for digital media. You also have a very large market of people that would like to physically hold something in their hands to show for their dollars vs. the more intangible media offered via download. Some will prefer to download their favorite tunes and movies on their iPod, while others will continue to add to their CD/DVD collections at home. Maybe “nostalgia” plays a part in this, since who would have ever thought vinyl albums would re-appear on the American music scene? But they have, so don’t rule out disc media too quickly.

I have seen some businesses offer training seminars or new employee orientation via download while others prefer to have something they can just pull off of shelf and play without any online connection issues. So in this regard, corporate America has also not fully bought into digital downloads just yet. It therefore remains a proverbial “coin toss” at this point in professional preference.

No doubt the future for digital downloads is bright, and we certainly offer digital download services at Duplium, but don’t sell the more tried-and-true method of disc content too short either. Certainly do not plan on seeing CD’s and DVD’s disappearing from the American landscape of pop culture any time soon. They are a reliable medium for data delivery and as such will be used until digital downloads are as reliable in all businesses and homes. Beyond that, it is your choice which to use.
