Our heads are filled these days with green
dilemmas...how are we going to make more green?
How can we save the sparse green we have? If we
don't live greener, will there be a planet for future
generations? (And how can we worry about that when
we're worried about the "other green?")
March is the month of the wearing o' the green and the
pondering o' the green. Read on! We can help you
save, earn, and even wear the green stuff.
During the Depression era, S&H Green Stamps were born, as a way of
giving consumers extra value. This month,
theONswitch introduces its own version -- Lime Green
Stamps -- a special deal just
for readers of 30 Second Current.

More Amps: New Marketing Services
theONswitch has been combining e-marketing, social
media, and highly targeted "traditional" media to save
clients tons of green and generate phenomenal
results (like a 1000% increase in web visits for one
client in just three weeks). Our e-marketing open
and click-through rates are way higher than industry
averages too. (The only industry that beat our results
is the crafts industry...we must learn to crochet!) Contact us

money! Are you a mid-sized business with an
in-house marketing department? Contact us
