Something to Think About

Here’s something to consider: starting in 2013, Attardi Marketing will offer another service at no charge. The EnergyWatchBlog will post New Lighting Positions and Advanced Energy-Efficient Products/Technologies selectively on our website blog. We will continue to provide such information as a service to you…..

We can provide that service, again at no charge. All postings for one month in duration on www.energywatchblog.com will be held in strict confidence. Just send me the information you want posted, your company will not be identified and all inquiries will be directed to my attention and to my attention alone. I will then forward the resumes to you for follow-up and action as you see fit.

• Advanced Energy-Efficient Products/Technologies: we have posted important information on the energy conservation market for some time now, focusing on the lighting industry. The transition from a traditional lighting industry to the electronic lighting industry is most certainly taking shape. The most dynamic lighting technologies in its history are making its way into the market.
