Manufacturers can increase sales and customer loyalty by promoting the energy-

specifications must be certified by an EPA-recognized Certification Body
(CB) before the product can be labeled with the ENERGY STAR mark.
Label
Once your product is certified by an EPA-recognized Certification Body, use
the ENERGY STAR logo, consistent with the ENERGY STAR Identity
Guidelines, on products and promotional materials, and our Web Tools to
differentiate your energy-efficient products. The Program Requirements for
many product categories include a requirement that the product display
the logo.

11. Report

STAR products and evaluate the overall performance of the program.

product-specific national campaigns. Identify joint marketing opportunities.
