Brag a Little – Claim a Banner For Your Building! After gauging interest through our recent poll, we want to invite our Kilowatt Crackdown participants to request a banner for their building. All you need to do is let us know that you would like a banner, and we'll take care of the rest! First, a quick recap: "Placing a banner outside your building provides an effective way to spread the message about your efforts in efficiency, and we would happily provide you with one. However, there are likely some actions that you would need to take before being able to post it proudly outside of your building, including filling out and submitting an application to your city, ensuring the placement of the banner adheres to city regulations, and the payment of any applicable fees. Of course, you could also choose to place the banner inside your building and keep things quick and easy." We're ready when you are – Send us an email to request your banner! Of course, we're always here to answer any other questions you may have at info@kilowatt-crackdown.com!
