The first customers of Montour entrepreneur are local authorities. Who use the object as advertising media distributed at sporting events or awareness campaigns on road safety.

This is the only way that they use every day.” Rudy Sabbath also studying other state that could adopt my flash: bikers, the audience at the exit of concerts, etc. “I have in a year and a half, sold 80,000 pieces. Now we need I go into shops, that’s my goal in January when I will spend Concept Cube society. I believe distribute among cyclists vendors, motorcycles, gas stations or tobacco press. And secondly I hope in fashion or luggage. ”

To develop this innovative product, the creative Rudy has many other trails. “One can imagine a flash code printed on it. That provides access to applications to know who it belongs to, useful information in case of loss or accident. ”
