Concrete Decor’s first annual 2007/08 Decorative Concrete Buyer’s Guide

Dear Readers,

These past couple of months our staff has been working hard to create a new, innovative decorative concrete guide unlike anything else in our industry. In addition to our May issue of Concrete Decor and its array of informative articles and information on the latest and greatest in decorative concrete, we are excited to announce Concrete Decor’s first annual 2007/08 Decorative Concrete Buyer’s Guide — the decorative concrete industry’s most comprehensive guide to manufacturers, suppliers and specialized products designed to help you excel in your craft.

This handy Buyer’s Guide is a reference tool that we encourage you to utilize throughout the year. You will be better able to find specific types of products, manufacturers and suppliers, and it will also help you distinguish between the myriad of products on the market today and their specific purposes. With more than 560 product categories and nearly 300 company listings, we’re confident you’ll find what you are looking for each time you prepare for another project.

Furthermore, you’ll be happy to know that the Product Index portion of the Decorative Concrete Buyer’s Guide is also available online at www.concretedecor.net and our new Spanish-language Web site, through April 2008. Here, you’ll also find that the numerous company listings include handy links to their company Web sites.

It goes without saying that the growing number of products available on the market can make it difficult, even confusing, to choose from a number of options. We hope that the Buyer’s Guide will be something that you can turn to time and again when you are in need of products, training or other decorative concrete must-haves. For more in-depth information, Concrete Decor offers archives of everything we publish online so you can educate yourself on numerous types of products or even steer your customers to the site to do their own research.

Without a doubt, it is becoming that much more important for you to make time on a regular basis to further educate yourself about this growing industry. By referring to the Buyer’s Guide and reading the articles you see in Concrete Decor and other industry publications, you’ll be able to make more informed choices that result in better quality work and more satisfied customers.

As always, I encourage your comments and ideas for ways Concrete Decor can serve you better.
Sincerely,


Bent Mikkelsen
