Switch to LED

This year, we celebrated the 50th invention anniversary of the Light Emitting Diode or LED.  In those 5 decades, LED lighting fixtures and its other uses have transformed the way we live. Numerous studies by private and government institutions have proven the efficiency of the LED technology when it comes to reducing energy consumption, prolonged life expectancy and saving Mother Earth.

As more individuals and businesses become more conscious of their impact on our planet, 2013 could be the year for the LED technology to take off and be appreciated as a sustainable means of saving.

Joining the LED bandwagon when it comes to lighting features and in store digital signage could require more initial investment. But with the longevity and efficiency of the LED solution, investments are sure to pay off in various forms.

Reduce, reuse and recycle resources

This practice remains as one of the most efficient means to generate savings both in the home and in the workplace. Reducing consumption as well as reusing, recycling and repurposing items are simple ways of achieving a good level of efficiency.

The 3R’s can be applied to different aspects of managing a business like operations, manufacturing, administrative and marketing to name a few. To serve as a concrete example, an illuminated LED board can be repurposed as a message board for workplaces that are looking for fun ways to cut down on paper use when it comes to circulating announcements on a larger scale.

Try modern solutions

The internet is probably the biggest new age solution that we have that provides a substantial amount of savings for all of us in different ways.

To share with you a couple of ideas on how to utilize the internet for efficiency that generates savings, here are 2 common ideas that you should revisit:

  • Use company emails for memos and other communication. Instead of printing out reports and letters, why not send them online to reduce your paper trail? Email clients have been around for quite a while now and they’ve proven to be cost-effective and easy to organize. But if you’re like a good number of individuals who get tired of staring on LED screens all day long, maximize the use of paper by printing on both sides.

  • Mix your offline advertising with online marketing efforts. Aside from cutting down on paper use and huge expenses, online marketing makes your efforts more targeted. As a result, less physical resources are consumed in producing results that produce the same or an increased result.

Efforts to modernize can cause uncertainty in the beginning. However, we should keep in mind that the LED technology as well as the Internet has great potential not only in saving precious dollars for businesses but also our planet.

How are you planning to generate savings for your business in 2013?
