Yes, it's a real flask.
You have just typed a URL off the side of someone else's drink. We appreciate that about you.
The other bit is real too.
The flask says you also get working IT. That is not a slogan. It is just the thing you are paying for. The flask is the free part.
You can't buy one.
There is no shop. There is no waiting list. We give them to new customers on the day they join, and that is the entire distribution strategy.
This is not scarcity marketing. We genuinely just did not think it through.
We are an IT company. This is the boring part.
Octopus 365. Based in Mumbles, Swansea.
We have been looking after nurseries and small businesses since 2009, which is long enough to have strong opinions about both. Managed IT, phones, cyber security, and backups that actually restore when you ask them to.
That is it. That is the whole website's worth of information, and you got it off a flask.
Questions we have decided you have.
Is it actually a Yeti?
Yes. We looked at the cheaper ones. Then we thought about what buying the cheaper one would say about how we approach everything else.
Does it keep things cold?
Yes. It's a Yeti. That is the one part of this we did not have to get right ourselves.
Why is it orange?
It is our colour. We chose it partly so we could hand out orange flasks. You are holding the reason.
Can I buy one?
No. See above. See also: the entire point.
What if my IT is already fine?
Then you do not need us and you do not get a flask. Both of those are perfectly good outcomes and we are pleased for you.
I'm holding one right now. Should I be worried?
No. It means you are a customer, and it means something has gone quiet enough that you had time to read your own drink. That is the product working.
If your IT is bad enough that this was the highlight of your day.
Then have a word with us. No pitch deck, no discovery call, no roadmap workshop. Just a conversation about what is annoying you.
The flask is 100% genuine. The joke is 90% genuine. The IT is not a joke.
